As far as running Southeast, never heard of to many getting miles by staying there and if you want weekends homes, you mmay as well just stay home from the start. best bet is LTL and be willing to run, anytime anywhere and any place.

Anyways, if Ncent LTL is anything like Jevic (i was with them briefly), then yes, the money is there but when will you sleep?

So, with that thought in mind, yes you can make good loot with Jevic or new century LTL.
His name is Charlie F. He's a former Jevic driver and recruiter.

E-Pak is no longer, they are shutting down the whole terminal. The guys can go work for New Century out of NJ and if they refuse they are fired. My hubby and I have been visiting this site and he told me I should mention this.

He started getting calls from drivers this morning that this was going down and everyone in the office was out of a job. My husband is pissed that they would do this to their employees. My husband is out on the road and probably won't be getting back till tomorrow and still hasn't heard anything from bosses and not only will they be off tomorrow but they will no longer be working there. No one has said anything to him as to who he even calls about his load.

Even though he will be making more cpm and the benefits are better and a little cheaper he will have to park his truck 40 miles from home. With the gas prices, there goes any increase. Plus he knows that NJ will won't him to run weeks on end without getting home.

It's just crappy that a company cannot give a notice to these people, nothing like getting blindsided.

I have some friends that hired onto New Century LTL Division and were making big $$$. Now they are running their eyeballs out and have alot of stops. I should have went there. But overall I am glad I am out of that company altogether.

I talked to them and the recruiter (I should have known better) talked me into going to the truckload side(formerly Rude Carriers). He promised SE Region, only seeing NE when I went to the terminal. He promised 3000-3500 miles a week, and being home every weekend if I wanted.

They have very good equipment for sure. I love the Auto shifts, but did not like the Super Single tires.

I stayed a 6 weeks...that is all I could stand. I averaged 1200-1800 miles per week. Do the math and that is not enough to feed a family. I stayed plenty busy....running northeast...and all short. I had 2 runs in 6 weeks over 500 miles. Most runs were 200-300 mile range. Alot were under 100 miles.

Their LTL side will take truckload runs, usually the best ones and leave the truckload guys hanging. Truckload and Western Express exists only to feed the LTL side. The LTL drivers make out good, the others get whats left.

Now, if a LTL driver takes a truckload run, he makes LTL pay (10 cpm more and $5 more per stop). If a truckload driver takes a LTL run, he makes his usual pay. Go figure. Also, hope you like running NYC. I told them in the beginning I do not.....not a problem. Then they booked me one one. There were 2 loads available. The CT load was longer, so an LTL driver got it. I got stuck with the NYC load that delivered 48 hrs later although it was not more than a 500 mile run. I refused it. Needless to say that was the final straw with me. I took the load to the terminal and cleaned out my truck.

New Century...LTL side very good money...truckload side....very little money and several drivers quitting weekly.
I worked for Western Freightways for over three years. New Century bought us out a little over a year ago, today Western is in turmoil because of this aquisition. Go for New Century LTL, best money and bennies in the business, but good luck, they are very picky!

Stay away from Western for now, their letting drivers go like hot cakes.

No more running illlegal, they got busted big time, over a half mil by the DOT, plan to run legal for them.

I feel for you. Glad I left Western when I did, it's getting ugly
