    Yes the directions are good just be careful or you'll drive right past it....if they have an open bay they'll take you when you get there...there are two driveways, you have to take the first one to get on the scale. You'll be in and out in about 45 min if that

    That kind of freedom is gonna take some getting used to....it's completely foreign to me and 4 months of OTR didn't get me any more adjusted to it than I was on day 1

    Ok I must have forgotten something...this form I have only has spots for dates, empty loaded or bobtail, trlr #, origin, destination, weight, Bol #, and load #...nothing about hours or anything that isn't directly related to the loads...

    You put your loading time on the same line as the dead head line.

    For example, if you are picking ip a load from cutrale, it will look something kinda like

    3-3-12 MT Trailer 2222 Winter Haven to Auburndale 7.25 hours to load
    3-3-12 LD Trailer 2222 Auburndale to Winter Haven 48,500lbs bol#00000000

    Ok so one last question...what is your pay based on...is it a percentage of the load... is it the hours you spend getting trailers loaded...what all's included?
