    Dedicated? Yeah I wouldn't mind doing that, I could do that in 3 days, maybe throw in some bonus in that, I'd be golden.

    Wouldn’t take much stock in GP, two major closures in the last few years, Perry FL, and Cedar Springs GA is set to close in August.

    Georgia Pacific? I use to pick up sheetrock from the plant in Savannah, Georgia, it was decent but that was flatbed though, I don’t know about Dry Van. Honestly, If I ever left Tanker for Dry Van it would be for a dedicated route. At least I know that my paycheck would be somewhat consistent.

    I've done those with May. Yes they can be a nightmare. At least half the time the loads were never ready..or u had to wait to unload. Spent quite a bit of time on back roads in southern Bama , Georgia, and Florida which I didn't mind much. That one GP in Palatka Fla was always a pain. If you make the miles they say U will it might be worth a try
    I did it about a year and just kind of got burned out on it because the pay there just wasn't worth it ( lucky I cleared 800 a week)
    The time I went to some paper mill in west Alabama, can't remember which one, waiting all day to unload sitting next to the stinky porta potties and piled up trash..thats the day I decided it was time to move on. Maybe with PTI its worth a try, keep us updated if u do ..good luck!
