    Shaffer does. Over half of the trailers I've pulled have been air ride. I don't think Crete has any other than maybe the dedicated wally world trailers

    When does the company add the miles for a load on to your 'quarterly bonus' total...when you're dispatched on it or when you deliver it. By that, I mean, if you're dispatched on a load on the last day of the quarter, but it doesn't deliver until a day or two into the new quarter, which total does it get added to?

    The 2 for 5 deal may be the meatless mystery meat that they advertise. Good luck eating that.

    I don’t have a man bun or wear skinny jeans so that’s over top of my head. Burger King hires only the best.

    So far, I've been back doing reefer freight a little over 3 months and had, for the most part, a normal driving schedule. None of the stereotypical vampire schedule associated with this type of freight...until my next load, and I really don't have to run that much overnight in order to make the deliveries on time. After I get empty this morning, I head to Greeley CO to pick up a load at 23:00 tonite that has 3 stops, the 1st is in Goodlettsville, TN on Tue, early a.m., then the final 2 stops around Atlanta on Wed. Since I will be doing my load call before the end of the month, according to the company, I will be sitting just under 11k miles for 2021, and I had 7 full days of down time. The recruiter told me when I applied that Shaffer has lower average miles, and lower bonus and pay increase thresholds mainly because of the extra stuff associated with pulling temp controlled freight (extra time fueling, washouts, grocery warehouse deliveries, etc.), but it seems as though either my A/M is good at getting me plenty of drop/hook loads or customers are getting fast at unloads because my average miles are way above expectations. According to the company app's driver scorecard, I am almost 5200 miles above the expected performance after only 3 months(the scorecard's expected miles are based on the driver's anniversary date and help keep track of how close the driver is to their yearly mileage to earn a pay raise)
