Calling everyone that can't go anywhere else! Wiley Sanders Truck Lines needs YOU!!

without getting into a log class with you. If you have a 600 hundred mile trip and you go straight to the customer and take you break there when you get unloaded you will have a fresh 14 hrs virus doing your break at a truck stop etc 15 miles from the customer which is fine also but if it takes them 2 hrs to unload you then another 2 hrs to get loaded somewhere else you can now only drive 10 hrs and you haven't event stopped for fuel food shower etc

 

I think that's what your asking?

 

trip planning and thinking ahead about how to best maximize hours is just to much of a headache.I run till I get tired,take a two hour nap,run an hour stop for another one to eat at a sit down, then stop for a hour and a half more for fuel and a shower.So I just ate up 4 and half of my 14, but I'm rested,well feed, and clean..so is that improper HOS management? A lot of times I have to tell my dispatcher I cant del until I take another 10 20 miles from the receiver...he says what happeded? I said nothing,just ran out of hours..

 

Like I said what works for me may not work for you. .. you have to do what ever it's takes if you run that way and you happy and pay your bills that's great. All I am saying if you run your log book tight you can still legally run good miles each week. .. nice chatting with you take care and drive safe

 

Oh don't worry guys, I work with BTC and can verify the OP's claim. SAFETY destroys your DAC, puts illegal stuff in it so other companies won't hire you, etc.

Equipment is old and you pay for any equipment you break, and trust me, a LOT of their equipment is older than their 2006 or older trailers that break down often. The trucks... Lets just say I had to replace virtually everything,to do with the engine and air system.

Not a good company peeps.

 

I wont argue with the older equipment. But this crap abour safety putting stuff on your dac is pure ######## those folks have better things to do. I was there for 21 yrs with the exception of 6 yrs overseas. I No longer work there but have nothing bad to say about the company its a job maybe not the best paying but they have freight and there money is good. If im not mistaken there upgrading there fleet now. I stand by my comments on being a good company especially for someone just starting out.....

 

Didn't just start out, Driver. And I'm sure if you stay at a place long enough, you become like a rock and weather the storm.

 

You make a good point there. There about being at a place long enough but i just cant see any company black balling anybody without just cause
