What areas do they normally run and do they go to new york city?

 

do you work for them? im thinking of going with them,,i will be done with school in 2 weeks is there anything you can add about them thats not been said on here yet..and do you know if a lot of there freight goes through richmond va....thanks

 

wuz up everybody i just got home from training. i would of been home yesterday but my truck was in the shop. anyway #### is going good everything ybjfax said is true everybody is cool as hell and will help u out in a heartbeat. i got a load going about 30 minutes from the house so thats good. I talk to alot of drivers while i was down there and all of them said the miles were there if you want them. so far so good only time will tell. what"s your truck number Josh? any ? questions go head and ask I'll be here till Mon. morning.

 

I live about 3-3.5 hours from Memphis. I live real close to 67 hwy, it may not be considered a freightlane but it should be, there are tons of trucks from all different companies that travel 67.

 

I saw a BTC truck in Rockledge,FL last Wednesday. Any idea where it what it was doing there? I have never seen a BTC truck in Central Florida before let alone on the east coast.

builders does run florida...only when it has a helluva rate on it...they do run the east coast,but not much past jersey.the stuff going to nyc is mostly from the memphis area and its not force dispatch...but it does pay xtra to run the boroughs...when i worked there i stayed on the east coast because that had the best freight rates and i worked percentage(30%) there are only a handful of old hands that are still on percentage.they only offer mileage now(its more money for the company)

 

Thanks for info. I believe it was a load of lumber as I noted before. I do know which plant it was going too. One thing that surprises me was that BTC usually runs up in the freight lanes outside of FL. I should have got a pic.

Well scheduled to go to orientation monday going to give it a try

 

ybfjax, I have enjoyed reading your posts. I have applied to BTC as they are the only company that told me they would hire me before my contract with CRST is up. I really want to get into the flatbed industry and I am patiently waiting for their call back. From what you have posted on here, they seem like a helluva company to work for compared to the rest.
