I had a delivery in Easton, PA. After arriving on time and pulling into the dock, I watched as big rig after big rig pulled in alongside me, got unloaded and then left. The customer had started to unload my trailer, but after about 15 minutes they had stopped. So I went into the Shipping/Receiving office to see what was going on. The lady behind the glass told me that she'd check into it and get them going on the unloading. When I returned to my truck I noted that unloading had began again. ...

how much does a load typically pay per mile when all expenses are factored in

Im 21 years old looking for good company to start out with. Not sure where to go or who to apply with. Have an approval letter from Werner and FFE, but dont know anything out either company.

The local job I had cut my hours by 50%, so I had to make a move. I wasn't beat up over it, because I was tired of local work anyway. I applied with a company I previously applied for back in 2009. They didn't have any openings then...but they did this time. They run the southeast and have a terminal right near my house. Perfect! Landed the job back in June of 2012 and been here since. Miles are great, hometime is great(a little more than I'd like actually), and the loads are gravy. I am really ...
Last Thursday I suffered my first breakdown. I lost my rear drive shaft near Temple, TX. Monday they rented me a car and sent me to Carlisle, PA to recover another truck. They said the driver was flown to a Dallas hospital. The truck is three months old, Cascadia. I don't like it. My DBL told me to expect to have a newer truck when I get back. Yay, now I can go slow like a real Schneider driver. They loaded me with a relay to NC. So today I finally got to meet up with a guy I met ...
