    @bucky right now I'm the botten guy and been getting good miles. I know our steward said he has 8 guys coming so I'm sure your one of them. Pay is good for me, but I'm single no kids and 24. Only thing I pay for is rent and car insurance. Feel free to ask me whatever you like, of explain more but I'm typing on my phone. Ill say is keep your head clean for 30 days until you make the union list.

    @squonk I'm jealous, got caught in the snow storm in Harrisburg, made one longggg trip back. Usually do it in 10.5 but today took my whole 14.

    welcome to the team GA400, I don't know anything about holland but please let us know how it is
     
    Bucky Thanks this.

    That's cool that you like pulling the rocky doubles. I'm getting sick of pulling doubles and even sicker of building and breaking sets.

    Sheeew, they have run me ragged! What a busy week! Did a little over 3000 miles for this week. Put in some long hours too. How are things where you are? We sure seem busy down here in southern Cali. I went to FedEx Ground when I got laid off in November and couldn't wait to go back. Now I'm wishing I was still at FedEx! I think I miss having a schedule. Just kidding, I'd never go back to FedEx Ground unless I had to.

    I wish Reddaway still ran sleeper teams. It's all I have pretty much done my whole trucking career. I was always dedicated or line haul. I would love to have skinny truckers job! Life was good when I worked for Consolidated Freight. Same at Watkins when they had ltl and ran teams. I just liked going out, running hard and knowing when I got to go home. At Reddaway I'm a slave to the phone and drive tore up equipment. We are supposed to be getting new trucks soon. They were showing me some of the Volvo's and Freightliners they're getting. I probably still won't get one though.

    Sorry to hear you guys are dealing with that bad weather still. I'm spoiled out here in California unless I have to go to Reno in the winter time. Or that once in a while trip across the I-80 out of Sacramento going to Reno. Hope it get warm soon for you guys.

    Way off topic...
    Lived in the Northeast most of my life, and never been to TX until a week or three ago.
    I'm thinking, sunny? 70? maybe windows down on the truck? Cool!
    Nope - it friggin' snowed all the way from Dallas to Denver!

    "Cool" was the word allright.

    USF or YRC is a good place to work. It's a good company. I just don't like the extra board but gotta make my bones to get that bid run.
