Link America.. GOOD

Why the difference between trucks?? Is it newness to the company or just something arbitrary??

 

we all need to remember that even if its at 62 the trips are planned at lower speed limit in order for drivers to make the del on time, for me it wont matter much bcs at least it will keep me away from speeding tickets,,

 

glad too see ya making the most out of what people would say is crap. csa seems to be shaping up these raggy companies. like i say ya got to chose a company that makes ya happy. ive looked at link in the past but they were out of my hiring area maybe if i ever move ill look again.

 

First day orientation spend half day doing phisical/drug test since there is 11 of us, once we got back some pizza was waiting for us and finish our day with very good vibes on the company. They are working hard to make a difference in the driver which is great. tomorrow we start at 8am

 

Mostly I meant new to the company means slower speeds or is it just who got a truck that they haven't turned down yet?? I know years ago they ran 70+ cause y'all used to keep up with me when I was doing oversized and I could run 70 or better. 62 seems more like your in the way but that's my too old and been here too long speaking I guess, I have 80 mph truck and 0 points, 0 CSA score and 0 accidents in over 35 years out here, 62 seems slow....
But... I agree, you should go someplace that makes you happy, treats you well and you make money at, this is why I haven't applied there, no doubt I can make money and I believe they are trying to turn it around but... 62mph is not me. I will continue to follow though, you never know they might just surprise me!!!
You guys stay safe!!!

 

I had to wait awhile to get in gate at Walmart in Ft Pierce. Once in, new load had me picking up late. I called in and was told they'll wait for me. Load going from Sarasota to Dublin, GA. Drop and hook for pickup. I arrive and was told office closed just 10 min prior. I took FL 70 across and it was 45 mph for first 30 miles. That dragged me down and if not for that, I would have swapped trailers and be parking at GA/FL line tonight. That was an unexpected hit. So I'll grab in morning and deliver tomorrow late afternoon.

Another truck is here waiting with me. He has been here a month all I have heard from him is whine after whine about how he got screwed because he had to leave the region and ended up near Arkansas. I told him I'll take it for him. He said ever since he said he will not do any other states than FL or GA that his miles have dropped, but he'll win that war and get his miles back. I only shook my head and walked away. Hard to make money turning load after load down and refusing to leave FL/GA... His fault, not the companies. Although to him, it's the company.

Soon as this place opens in the morning, I'm leaving him behind. He wants me to wait and run with him, but I don't think he can keep up since he already said we must stop every two hours so he can stretch. Lol. He was also telling me Link almost didn't hire him because this is his 5th company in 2 years... I ain't never.
