    Line haul is where its at. Did otr almost 17 years, didn't know any better. Making the most money I ever made and I only work 9 to 10 hours a day 5 days a week. Motel twice a week, home the rest. Go for it....you won't be sorry.

    The new fuel bonus policy is going to make a lot of people angry.

    I haven't seen the fuel bonus policy. I've been compliant but can't remember the last time I got the fuel bonus, doubt it will affect me.

    That fuel bonus policy is complete ########. First month I miss my fuel bonus I'm going to start fueling everywhere BUT where they want me to fuel and I'll idle however I want. Let's see how they like that.

    Don't you miss trying to find some of these places, or wonder where you're going to park for the night?
     
    Old_n_gray Thanks this.

    This isn't the usual LTL linehaul, though. This is pneumatic trailers which seems kind of strange to me but I'm guessing I'll still get sent to their school to learn how to operate the blowers and whatnot so I'll have a new skill beyond slamming doors and keeping the seat warm.

    I saw this guy driving down the interstate today with a trailer door open. The trailer was empty when I saw it, wonder if it started that way?

    I am happy when it comes to the raise. For us newer drivers it’s a pretty significant bump in pay. 5 cents is slightly over 10% I believe.
