    That seems pretty ineffective, but who knows.

    What are schneider's procedures for their temp protect loads? In almost three years, I have never booked one, mainly because I figured they would have me doing something time consuming or inconvenient.

    When I worked at Millis and all they do is beer...If you dumped your suspension it would vibe that beer enough not to freeze. They also in the yards put heaters in the back and it was fine to like 10 degrees. Beer in the summer hot hot hot...Miller /Coors didnt care....but atleast at Millis we never had live loads at the factory...and most distribution points were pretty fast ezcept Monarch in Indy or Wirtz in St Paul...

    This was a drop and hook... all the time was just getting and out of the place.
    On the way out I heard drivers on the CB saying they've only got a couple more hours left before they get their 10 hour break in and they didnt even reach the guard shack to enter yet.
    So it got even worse after I got there.
    Funny thing is while waiting forever to get in a driver on the CB said that all women must be running this place, just watch... and he was right lol.
    Most redicuous place i have ever been to.

    And no it didn't pay well, it was just a short load to get me out of a bad area. Every other load was over 500 miles and paid less than a $1 LOL no thanks.

    I bet if trucking was paid by the hour and not the piece there'd be a little more organization

    If paid by the hour put me in a Prime truck and give me all short loads to grocery warehouses with lumpers ;)

    $18/hr with over time. Gross pay. I don't get why people say what they make after taxes. You could have insane taxes or have kids and pay nothing so it seems weird to me that people would state their take home pay.
