Just to be clear, I do not recommend GTI heavy haul division. The fleet has major shortcommings. Miles are lowish (350-450), spd limited to 60, but with extra weight, mountains and traffic you'll average 48. They hav been bouncing me in/out of Seattle and Portland; both have a traffic jam if someone sneezes. The HH trucks are small cabins without APU's. Live unload vs drop/hook is 50%. The kicker is that GTI doesn't do a sliding pay scale for short runs and doesn't pay HH drivers extra for driving heavy. Embarassing to say, but I made more money driving HH with Swift.
The only positive I've seen for this fleet is that you are home for 34 more often than not. GTI really needs to fix this fleet.
This isn't to slam the company. As a company they are pretty good. This is just their weak spot. Go western 11, reefer etc and you'll probably do very well. I'm transfering out of HH asap. -

Finally!! After all the debacles from the office, home for a long reset. I did still manage a 2700 mile week, but it was a fight to get the miles. I'll be moving out of HH into the temp control fleet, so longer miles between docks. They say they have a new truck for me; 2012 with APU, invertor and full sized cabin. I hope that it's true. Heck, brewing my own coffee would save me $30 a week...
Sorry for the earlier rants, but the HH planners seem to screw up on a regular basis. -
