    Right now I'm in TCD and I'm hating it. All the live load/unloads. I spend most of my time at a shipper or cons. and it's getting to be a serious pain. Before I up and quit I wanted to give the glass division a try. A few things are holding me back though. Ok, for one it's about to get cold and I was wondering if I should stay put because freight for the glass division may slow up!??!? Two, I wanted a little more home time then my last company but I'm hearing you're required to stay out for 3 weeks at the least!!??!?
    A few questions: How are the miles (avg) per week; and during the winter time? What's the average time it takes to tarp glass loads? Is it a process that'll have you get better with repetition? Are you required to have a passport or is that if you're willing to run to Canada? Would you recommend switching if I'm a little afraid of heights? I really love working for this company and don't wanna leave but I'm getting lazy and fed up with all this sitting around

    If u want more hometime, they have weekly flatbed work.

    Glass does require a passport.

    One driver that posted drives for Stevens and loves the long wait times, like 24+ hrs. at some meat packing plant. He says it gives him plenty of leisure time to play Xbox.

    Yes I get detention but I still hate waiting. I've done 34hr resets at Wal-mart....yes 34 not 10hr resets! Detention pay is ok but I'd rather be driving.

    See I'm the opposite. I need to be running. I'm getting lazy and really bored. All I do is sleep and wait. I'm starting to get a beer gut. Can't keep this up

    This is definitely a job for a lazy person. I hate to know that I could be doing a lot more than sitting and getting a better pay check. Can anybody enlighten me ooh the glass division?

    I quoted Chinatown on his Stevens/Xbox remark. Can't help you with Maverick...I'd tell you to go Flatbed, it IS their bread & butter.
