    Haven't been there.
    Tyson loads I've done came out of KCK.

    Broker loads suck, glad we don't do them very often. Previous company I worked for did a lot of broker loads..

    Wait, what.... They still (trucking companies) pay in the thirties?
    Come on guys, geewiz stand up for yourselves.... I haven’t been paid in the thirties for three years now, and collect bonus pennies as well.
    In fact other than what I read on this “Holland” thread name a single company refer or other that pays in the thirties, none...

    It’s not JUST about the CPM pay. There’s lots of other benefits and perks that few can even come close to and it’s hard to put a value on this but it’s worth a lot. Plus there is a pretty quick pay raise model and the quarterly and annual bonuses.

    And I don’t think it’s in the 30’s anymore even with minimal experience

    Sommer came through for me it looks like. Will deliver this chicken in Commerce at 04:00 Thu morning, then bounce up to Fresno to get some fruit base totes out to CT for Monday AM delivery. will have to wait until wee hours of Monday morning to run the last 450 miles or so. This will be my third time on this load but it's been a long while. It requires tanker endorsement. But will make for one hell of a 2-week check if everything holds together. Maybe my best one yet by a few miles.

    EDIT: Thinking about it in the hotel room. I didn't jot down hours I'll pick up Monday but it now occurs to me I don't think it will be enough to get me there on Monday but may be [too] close. They might swap me off somewhere midways Friday or Saturday or they may try and move the appt to Tuesday, which will likely make for a weak check

    But this dam TQL broker load I'm sitting on now .... never again will I do a TQL load. They have bugged me with several calls a day to say where I am. Tried to get me to deliver in Commerce Tuesday afternoon with maybe 30 minutes left on my 70. You'd think I was a new driver with a load of gold bullion the way they are all concerned about this stupid load of [fresh] chicken legs.

    It requires a tanker endorsement, am I missing something?
