    I inquired about a job with these guys but it's mostly driver hand unload and re-load.
    No tailgating the freight...ALL DRIVER HAND UNLOAD & RE-LOAD the trailer three times per day or more!
    I think I'll stay with my drop & hook gig...thanks anyway Ruan.

    That's good.
    The dedicated gig I inquired about was hauling auto parts
    out of a local terminal to a delivery 200 miles away.
    Not a bad run but auto parts are mostly a loose load
    (not palletized) and you hafta hand unload everything
    at the delivery point. :biggrin_255:
    Then hand reload you own backhaul. :biggrin_2554:
    Then hand unload THAT when you get back to yer home
    port at the end of the night. :biggrin_25523:
    That's a bit much.
    I'll stick with my drop n hook no touch gig even if it does
    pay a little less.

    I got one for you Bob.
    Why do you guys keep cutting me off coming out of your terminal in Cedar Falls, when I'm coming out of Bossard or Adams Thermal (across from Brown)?
    Wouldn't be so bad if you had ONE driver that could shift and accelerate a truck.
