Yeah, I get that, I'm not that hard to figure, give me the load and I'll run it til it gets there. Don't take any more breaks than I have to, don't like down time, and No...it aint a real bad week all things considered. I consider myself lucky, I have a good dispatcher. He ran me an average of 3300 a week during my training.

What beer place are you delivering to in Philly?

Maybe next time I'm at BRF I'll just go in and ask

That was also one of the reasons that was given for the Texas terminal is it would allow them to expand out into the west. I know Texas regional does/did at one time go to New Mexico and Arizona.
2. Reefer is heavier than dry van which poses a problem for the beer loads, and I know some paper plants won't load reefers, and flatbed is a whole different freight base.
This is how it was told to me from various drivers and peeps at BRF when asking.stevenneill and dennisroc Thank this. -
My wife works as a Home Health Nurse, for a home health company. Think of the home health company as the Carrier. The home health agency recieves patient referrals from Doctors, and when someone starts a home health agency they usually have three or four Doctors for referrals, think of the doctors as Millers, Menards, Owens-Brockway...However, as cold as this sounds...patients die. When a patient dies that revenue is lost. Each doctor only has so many patients, so in order for the home health company to survive, they have marketers. The only job for the marketers is to locate new clients through doctors, assisted living facilities, ect.
For ANY company to survive...and Millis has survived for a hell of a long time...it needs new revenue. Miller will most likely never go out of business, so Millis will most likely never go out of business either unless they lose the Miller account, which is unlikely, however, they may stagnate. So I know they have customer service that finds loads. There are 48 continental states...not counting Alaska, and there are thousands of shipper and recievers in each state, so logic dictates that if they WANTED to they could find new contracts. I understand reefer is heavier and affects how much beer can be hauled, but not how much meat can be hauled. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois all have steel factories that a flatbed could haul from, and steel is needed everywhere, Getting a load back from states we don't typically deliver too is only a problem because we don't have contracts there. I know my thoughts won't change anything and honestly don't matter, but they are still there. Thank you for your response. -

Okay, so I have a question. In several Northern states, currently and most particularly Pennsylvania since that is where I am at themoment, the Law states no Idle on trucks larger than 5 tons. However, the law itself states an exemption that trucks that bear a sticker declaring that it meets the clean idle regulations of California are exempt from the idle restriction, our trucks have a certified clean idle sticker on the sides, does this make me exempt? I'm asking because its going to be 4 degrees tonight and I'm a little concerned about getting started in the morning.
