    That works great for you, and a couple thousand others. SSB said he's not interested. For whatever reasons.

    I've also had deliveries to a WM store. Knock on the door, and a few minutes later you hear "I have to get the manager to unlock it." 15 minutes later they unlock it.

    I saw a news report, they recovered that driver's body (along with the truck) that drove off the Delaware Memorial bridge

    IMO Holland is the best ND based company. I also think that you’d find something to gripe about with them. Holland is what YOU make of it, not them of you.

    Don’t lump them in with Wiley or any of the others, you want miles they have them. You want great equipment and they have that. Make the call, if you’re not happy with Creafer.

    I’ve said it before and i won’t say it again, Holland is the best OTR fleet hands down imo. Walmart is the best place to make money, and for the benefits they have.

    Those are your two best choices from where you’re at.

    Only similiarity is people throwing out the same suggestions even though the op has stated many many many times he aint interested.

    I loved my first T/T job hauling shingles on a flatbed. It just didn’t pay squat.

    Load at GAF in Baltimore in the evening, go park. Next morning go to usually north NJ or NY and deliver. Pick up a load at Owens Corning in Kearny and come home. Next day, deliver Owens Corning load, typically somewhere closer to home, then deadhead to GAF to load for next day.

    That was typically around $130 a day, back in 2001-2002.

    That's unacceptable and not just for my or your sake. You know why? Because if no one reports it then it aint a problem and the next thing you know 15 minutes wasted waiting turns into 20 or 30 for every single driver going there because nobody complained. There's too many stores that are ready for the truck the second it gets there for any of them to be tolerated holding you up 15 minutes. Standards, everyone is held to them. Some stores are so good they'll be done unloading 7 or 8 pallets in 15 minutes with having to move 3 or 4 out of the way so I can raise the bulk head, then put them back. They've got an app that tells them exactly when we'll be there. They know the routine. In the freight world no-one is held to account and a driver's time is worthless.

    Drivers here look out for each other and don't let slacking slide. Outside carriers think 15 minutes wasted is A-ok because they're used to freight where hours get wasted without batting an eye. 15 minutes wasted ain't ok. Just trying to show SSB a little example of what makes it different here and why he might want to rethink it. You seldom meet a driver here who doesn't tell you they wished they'd come here many years before they did. And it's not just about the money.
