    I have mentioned multiple times, the only DC near me rarely hires. And new hires have to slipseat for a while before getting a truck assigned, and I'm not sharing a truck with anyone. And the new hires get the table scrap loads, so it takes a while to get up to the big money you hear about Walmart drivers making. Besides, it's a regional job. I moved on from regional 20-25 yrs ago because I got tired of seeing the same boring scenery every day.

    Nope. Plus it's only a 550 load mile run. That extra, coupled with the empty miles already on the load would make it about a 40% deadhead. Management would have a stroke with the price of fuel if I ran that many empty miles.

    Half our trailers are spread axle and none of them are adjustable.

    But an air ride spread rides so much better than a normal tandem, especially when loaded heavy

    Have you tried the wash in Ionia. The name says tank wash, but the reviews mention trailer doors. Worth a call.

    I stopped there once last winter on the weekend and they were closed...but that might have been because it was 5° and it's an outside pit. They're still 40 miles one way from where I am at.
