    They used to unless they started it up again. I have not heard that they have.
    You go there with your cdl and they train you in securement and then you go out with the trainer for three weeks.

    I thought I would share my week.
    I delivered on Monday Morning in Ligonier Indiana at Creative Wood Design, the load of Ash that I picked up in Marble Pa. It was 64 Mt miles and 345 loaded miles.
    I then drove 39 MT miles to Butler Indiana to pick up a single coil weighing 33,400 lbs and took it to Madison IL, 390 miles. This was a mile from our Madison terminal.
    I got a re-power of a load at the Madison yard. The driver was having transmission trouble..It was a load of steel channel and it was going to Wilmar MN 633 miles away.
    From there a drove 113 mt miles to Woobury MN to pick up a 48,000 lb load of black sand. My clock ran out while I was there and I had to call safety. There was no parking overnight there on on the road. I then drove 1 mile to the Walmart and spent the night behind the automotive department.
    From there I took the load to Wheeling IL 365 miles away.
    My next load was to pick up the next day at US Steel in Portage IN. It is just 18 miles from the Gary terminal, so I spent the night there. There were 62 mt miles. This Load is 635 loaded miles which will go on next week as I deliver on Monday Morning in hazelton pa.. I will be leaving here tomorrow after Church and spending the night at the consignee, as they have parking available.
    I have been to this place once before.
    So my paid miles for this week will be 1,949 #.41=$799
    Last weeks paid miles was 2595 #.41=$1063.95
    Add tarp pay on to that.
    Hopefully next week will be a good one as I will be starting the week out when I deliver first thing in the morning with 697 miles.
    The last time I was in Hazelton, they sent me to Conshohocken PA to Mittal to pick up steel plates...so we shall see.
    Hope you all have a good week!

    Dont have much time and do not have internet access back at Mav training , but i am very impressed, its been efficient and most all of it makes sense in every way.
