    Thank you. No, I don’t go into Canada. I’ve taken a lot of Canada destined loads to New York, but I always drop/hook with a passport driver at the TA in Pembroke. We also have a drop yard in Champlain by the border where I’ve picked them up and ran them to their destination in the United States. I’ve been meaning to specifically ask for a Maine load when I’m under the Bensalem umbrella, but I always forget until I’m already outbound with something else. I’ll get up there one of these days.
     
    Knucklehead and nextgentrucker Thank this.

    I've been to the Little Rock Terminal. I thought you said you worked at OD but I must have misunderstood.

    Cool, it’s beautiful up there, wouldn't want to live there though, small *ss roads and cold too, it wasn't that cold when I delivered that lumber load there, about 50 degrees, still too cold for me, I'm a Florida boy lol, but yeah, it was a good experience just didn't like the mountains on I-77, I-81, I-84... It was good after I got back on I-95.
    Why couldn't every major Interstate was flat like I-95 man, trucking would've been much more easier lol.

    Not sure on Saia but XPO (West Fargo, ND) you had to work up the seniority ladder. I put a bid in for a day linehaul out to Bellfield and was flat out denied.

    I was told I didn’t have the seniority for one and the other thing was the manager didn’t like me saying what i thought lol.

    It's definitely rough depending on where you live. Some never recover after so many years on nights , they can't sleep at night.

    Some speak OK English, others know a few words and there are some that just look at you and shrug.

    Hirschbach starts drivers off at 50cpm with a max of 55cpm, so really IRT starting off at 48 for no tank experience isn't all that far from today's industry in some cases.

    If you get on a dedicated account it's like 1400 a week guarantee

    That's still fairly light . Is there a cap like if you run over so many miles you get the difference? Iv heard the give you a bonus on top of the 1400$
