Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Richmond area. Remember recruiter is just a fancy word for salesman. He gets hung at plants waiting on loads and stuck at the house on Monday's waiting on a work assignment.

 

There are plenty of miles to be had hauling glass...but you gotta work for them.

Hauling glass isn't really all that different than hauling steel...the biggest headache with both is the shippers (waiting to get loaded or unloaded).

The only real difference is the glass will break if not properly secured (not too tight, not too loose, padding/v-board where needed, stop blocks properly placed and padded, braces built when hauling long glass on step decks, etc.)

Oh...and knowing how to stack different sizes of stoces so all are, in fact, secured...

When properly secured...you have to try pretty hard to break the glass...about the only thing you have to worry about is the trailer twisting if you "yank" it while in a sharp turn, that WILL break it.

I hauled a lot of glass...and was somehow lucky enough to never break a single piece, but its an accepted fact (whether Maverick accepts it or not) that if you haul glass long enough...you're gonna break some.

 

Don't we all?......

 

Not like in glass. We're talking days sometimes. I spent 72 hours in a parking lot down in Texas one time. Can't count how many times I sat for 24 without a W/A

 

How long ago was that though? I heard a lot of that is changing.

 

Well I had a perfect week this week. Minus I had to put a starter on the truck Monday. Delivered in Chicago Monday morning. Went to Gary loading coils for Paris Texas. Stop at shop in Gary get starter put on. Delivered in Paris Wednesday morning then went down to Shreveport Louisiana and loaded up for Louisville. Delivered Louisville Thursday afternoon then went to Jeffersonville Indiana and loaded Friday for Michigan city Indiana for Monday. It's just 10 miles from the house to my delivery.

Have a great weekend, drive safe and enjoy the ride.

 

I am sitting at the airport in Charlotte right now getting ready to fly in to Little Rock to start orientation ttomorrow morning! I'm excited and nervous at the same time!!!!
