    I have been offered a solo position with them home every weekend. Pay is 41 cpm. Not much less than I was making at Reddaway who laid me off. Right now I'm running FedEx Ground in teams and am hating every minute of it. I am sick of teams. My team pay is 40 cpm and doesn't look like I'm gonna get anymore than that.

    Does anyone know about NRT? I haven't seen any good or bad about them. They also have Keystone Freight. Any info on them would be helpful too. Thanks

    I worked for them (Keystone Freight) on Best Buy Dedicated out of Nichols NY going on 4 years ago. We had 35cpm/$20 per stop/$17 per hour detention starting an hour from when you hit the dock, and 68mph Macks and Freightliners. Ratty looking trucks but mostly mechanically sound. I typically averaged $1100/week there. Loved it...drop and hook or bump docks, 100% no touch. LOTS of NY/Boston metro but that doesn't bother me. I don't know how they are run down in North Bergen...heard rumours that the OTR guys could go 70+ but the dedicated guys got 62. Been seeing a lot of O/O hauling their trailers around lately.

    A LOT depends on your terminal manager...ours was awesome. The guys in Bergen didn't make a favorable impression on me, and their yard control/security there is downright difficult to get along with.
