    I guess the QT Stations are creating a few Truck Stop type places... Sitting at one which is just like any regular QT for cars but there are diesel lanes and truck parking in the back. Scales too but not CAT Scales.

    Taking my ten here for the day.

    Stay Safe
     
    KD5AXG Thanks this.

    Just got empty at OfficeMax in Hazleton. From checking in at the gate, to driving around to the recieving office to the unload and check out, a total of 55 minutes for a live unload. And, the three people I had direct contact with, made for a complete and wonderful delivery experience. It's times like this I entertain the thought of postponing my retirement, then I have flashbacks of the last 38 years.

    Do you run a lot of north east? I'm thinking of going back OTR but I have had my fill of the north east. Anywhere else but there;-)

    We have NE Regional Drivers that take a lot of those loads... So as OTR we don't see all of those loads... We still get some here and there.

    So yes, we do NE but the NE Guys do most.

    That's good, I just hate running the NE. It would be nice to find a company that will run you in the area you want to run but i haven't seen a company like that in 18 years and doubt I ever will again!

    Where do you want to run?

    Maybe @Chinatown can help point you in the right direction for a certain area/region.

    West, mid west, south west, north west, south east..lol anywhere but north east!

    I just had a thought though, they may not take me. I have not drove a truck in three years. Still have everything, CDL and such but the last local company went under and my wife found a job first, so I've been a stay at home dad ever sence.

    I always liked QT's coffee. And that off brand scale is usually a buck or so cheaper than cat.

    Carry on!
