my exp. with transam so far..

What is the typical reason they are swapping your load out so often? Is time management an issue?

Are you getting home or asking to get home? Where is home?

I've never driven for TA or personally know anybody at TA but this comes as a bit troublesome to me. I've never known "meat haulers" to have low miles issues for a segment of their drivers. You'll have odd anomalies occur anywhere that may mean fewer than average miles for a week, perhaps 2. Give it a little time and don't expect Maverick to be loads better, keep your ears open in the terminals to see what else is being discussed amongst fellow drivers.

 

hmmm. That's not good if that's what's going on ... routinely. Where I work (Helwig), our appointment times are almost perfectly set to fit the driver's projected hours, all the time, and the Cargill d/h is ready upon arrival 65% of the time, if not, then is probably ready within 3 hours. But we're small enough there is not a whole lot of "politics" going on. Best regards. Hope things turn around.

 

i wish i had a company guy pick up stuff I didn't want
they will tell you that doesnt happen when all the drivers know it does
they tell you trip planners just hand out loads based on who is in an area
but too many people dont get miles while others never have much trouble
I guess I am happy to not have much trouble
am making out fine with a lease

 

before you feel too bad for the company guy though 1800 miles per week is still 30000 his first year
many are not doing that truth be known
1800 miles on a lease is $100
