    Idk maybe I'm missing something but I'll never understand why a guy with a paid off truck that runs very well will still opt to get into payments..I don't get it lol.. I would overhaul before I did that

    I'm adding a customer to my no haul list for having the worst dock I've seen in my career.

    Here was my view while in the door

    [​IMG]

    I had to jacknife around that gate and cars illegally parked on the road.
    Notice the "no trucks allowed" on the lot along side of me.

    Customer told me there's been multiple missed appointments by Schneider.
    I will not be booking this load anymore, nope.

    Recertification is signing a bunch of paperwork, doing a drop/hook and driving test.

    I hate PA and surrounding areas, even more so during winter time.
    I mainly take my little bit less money in the midwest for a whole lot less stress and BS.
    However if the price is right I will go in and deal with it until I can get out without taking cheap freight.. which usually means being stuck for a bit lol.

    I hear ya man, im doing pretty good so far, im heading to rochester NY, after that back to PA. I refuse to drive for anything under 1.70. I know its hard, and I'll sit for hours looking before i take ANYTHING under that, unless ofcourse im leaving Florida. Staying in the right area i have no problem getting that done though

    $1.70+ all miles isn't hard staying in the Northeast.
    Trying to leave is the problem! Darn black hole!
    I'm coming, maybe you'll pass me in PA. I'll be running around there on Friday. :biggrin_25524:

    There's a couple spots to look to get out at a decent rate but it's not often.
    Patience is key.. but yeah two weeks there is about my limit there before I break lol.
