    I guess what I meant was trainers have a top bunk (a condo) because of them having students. But do all Epes trucks have a top bunk?

    Almost all our trucks are double bunks (condos) . There are 85 or so midroof Volvo's that are single bunk, but most of those are for dedicated accounts. That help?

    That sure did sdaniel. Thank you very much. I am beginning to think that instead of going with Swift, or the like, that I just need to suck it up and go out with an Epes trainer for two weeks and go ahead and start working with what I perceive to be a good company (Epes) in a not so good industry (trucking) lol.

    Question for Epes drivers that have hauled out of Bosch in New Bern.
    Do we have to scan every BOL in the stack with our trip sheet?
    I think the load I took this week had 13 BOL's attached.
    They all say Master bill of lading on them.
    I called my DM to ask him but did not get a reply.
    Thanks for any info.

    I scan everything. Been out of Bosch quite a few times. I scan it all. Wait till some of the P&G loads you're going to get. Literally a book lol. I scan everything. My understanding is they bill the customer based off what we scan as we keep the originals. I've never heard anyone say one way or the other maybe sdaniels can give some solid info on this but I follow the better safe than sorry rule and scan it all.

    I'm only scanned the page that the Consignee signed, showing that they received! Usually threw away the rest of the book/books. Never had anything said to me, and am always paid. They just need to see signature that the customer received their freight. Well, I don't get how we are "so backed up" am stayed out to help.....yet I'm sitting here for 3 hours, still, waiting on a load! Makes no sense at all.

    Consignee in Baltimore signed all bills so I guess I'll scan them all.
    I picked up in Baltimore yesterday, sat for 6 hours to get loaded then got stuck in DC traffic heading back to NC.
    I dropped at Lowes DC in Statesville this morning then bobtailed to Claremont.
    Got in my car and now at the house until Monday.

    P and g we only need to scan page 1 and 5, bosch would not hurt to scan whole stack. Yes we hire students out of select schools, then our training starts. Is your school on the list ?
