S&S Transport

Started today in Shippensburg, PA, and today was the first time ever that I got red lighted in every scale that I went by. Other than that, it was nice maintaining 67-68 mph climbing hills on I 81.

I m glad these new Cascadia s maintain their pulling power, and don t cut out after awhile like the previous Detroit's. And the jake brakes are powerful too. The 3rd stage will drop your speed 5 mph quick, whether you have 4,000 or 44,000 lbs.

Hopefully I will be in Anniston in the morning, kick off this load and go to the house. I m burnt out

 

Yeah if you came in on the I 15 South from Las Vegas everyone crosses the scale at that new big Super Coop.

 

On some well needed down time, I took the time to break down my numbers with S&S through the first 19 weeks of 2019:

Total paid miles: 51,254: Average weekly miles:2,698.
Weekly average gross: 1.323.21

Here s a few other accomplishments:
Top driver for the month of April in miles:14,453
#6 in total miles in the company for the year
#10 in total miles for the last 90 days
# 7 in total miles for the last 180 days

I DID NOT post this for any kind of recognition, I just wanted to share with people who may be thinking about coming aboard.

We may not be a top certified pay carrier, but when you compare us to other certified top pay carrier companies, S&S makes up for it in driver amenities in their equipment. Does the certified top pay carriers offer APU's, DirectTV, the freedom to pick or choose where you want to go? Do they offer average lengths of haul of 1200 miles or greater? Do they get you home on time, and you choose how long you stay home? I can honestly say everytime I needed to be home, I m usually home a day earlier than expected

I m currently in Fargo waiting for my Monday pickup since I had to take my truck to Freightliner for some warranty issues. I will have to come back to them because they have to order the parts that were broken or wasn t working when they left the plant in NC.

Once Monday rolls around, I will head to Park Rapids, MN then to Richmond, VA

And lastly, S &S drivers, we as a whole, including myself, have to do a better job on silly violations. Getting red lighted at every scale gets old very quick

 

Are you getting paid for breakdown??

 

Yes. But with S&S, the first 4 hours are on you, then after 4 hrs its 10.00 hr. Was there 5 hrs

 

What is this 12% pay increase coming in July on the S&S webpage?
