thanks

 

I dunno about CDJ, but if you all are looking for end dump OTR and regional. I'd check with J.K. Williams LLC. in Lawrence, KS.

I worked there 2 years ago, and have several friends that still work there. I kick myself in the butt on atleast a weekly basis for leaving, but I got homesick. (That's what nearly 6 years of local driving gets you.)

I never had a problem with them at all. Jim the owner was super nice, and treated me like family. They have all Peterbilts as well. (like it matters. To me a truck is a truck, as long as it is comfortable and trustworthy).

 

nice to see a ex oakley brother still surviving.

 

Mastllc, you asked about the type of work, basically anything you can put in the dump, I did fertilzers, rock, steel, aluminum, potting soil, pretty much anything agricultural. Their website says they have an emphasis on steel industry, but it has said that for years, in 09 when I ran regional I think i only had one metal load on my dump, and yes it did tear it up, but that was on account of an operator not paying attention. Long dumps are pretty fun, and can be very challenging to haul, but at the same time you have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, there's a lot of drivers out there who say they would never pull a frameless dump, pretty sketchy at times.

 

thanks cause i see guys in day cabs running long frameless dumps that are from south georgia and i think its no way that they can be hauling rock that far so i was kinda of curious as to what all they haul.

 

i work in macon for a local end dump company and yes we do haul rock that far . we go to savannah , brunswick,jesup,waycross,alma on a regluar basis

 

Never heard a bad word about CDJ, when I looked into them seems like they wanted you to live a certain distance from their yard ?? Anyway I was to far away that I do remember..

 

westland do you know of any dump outfits that would take on an 19year old. hes a decent driver whos not afraid to work hard, come early and stay late, and keep the equipment clean at all times. also what is the reason that you guys haul rock so far, i know about the sand since it comes out of roberta, but why do they haul rock that far?

 

because georgia dot state jobs have to have certain specs on the rock they use and only certain quarrys have certain specs. also it could be as simple as one quarry is out of cartain type of rock . as far as i know there are no quarries south of macon . what part of ga you live in i might be able to suggest some companies . we go in a 4am and get off around 6 or 8 pm mon thru fri and 4 to noon on saturday . let me knoe where you live

 

i live just a few miles south of atlanta right out side of 285 not to far from the two quaries in forest park. been trying to talk to some of the local companies but they keep coming back with i didnt know you could get a cdl at 18, or the we require you to be 25 with 3 years experience, or my favorite we would rather hire someone older with more experience which makes sense but i think it means a lot that at 18 i even tried to get my cdl moreless passed the test the first time, i hoped that would count for something.
