I have been running for Epes since August 2012. I wasn't sure about doing this run since I have not had good experiences with local running in the past and always find myself back out OTR but I wanted to have more home time with my family and they were offering a dedicated local run out of Minersville, PA just about 35 miles from my house, home every night so I took a chance with them and it was worth it. They are a decent company to work for and the miles are pretty good. Averaging 400 miles/day. The benefits are pretty decent to. You get alot for the money. They will run you if you show that you are here to make money and do not play around. Like I told them I am here to work and make money to take care of my family, you give me the miles and I will run them. I will keep the truck rolling till I burn the tires off the truck as long as you let me and run me legal. They give you a $3000 sign on bonus so that is definitely an incentive and safety bonuses to add some more icing. The dispatchers are cool they work with you which is hard to find in this industry, for instance when I need a little extra mileage I will work on the weekend or just stay out one or two times a week and they are willing to work with you on that. It's cool to find a company that takes care of their drivers. If you are in the Northeast PA area and looking for a good company to work for check them out.... I am glad that I did.

yep! sure is! Welcome aboard! although I'm OTR here at EPES...I do LOVE IT! Wish i lived around Minersville to get that gig! The guy that referred me here helped out with that, then went back to training! He's a trainer here. I know the pay is good, saw the posting about it and it's a sweet gig...but didn't know they had a sign on bonus! Kudos to you!

What stores do they run out of Minersville? I am with J.B. Hunt and helped out down the street at electrolux for 6 weeks. Pulled a couple trailers out of that Lowes terminal while I was there. Do they run New York city?

Running Dedicated Lowes acct. No NYC just West Virginia, Maryland, Deleware, PA and Jersey. Pay .41/mile, $12 D/H. You go from DC to store and pull a backhaul back to the DC. Quaterly safety bonuses, and paid vacation every 6 months. If you are interested the contact person is Jessica Vargas 336-668-3358 let her know that Jesus Colon told you about the account. I used to work for JB the Dedicated Home depot account out of Pittston but didn't like it there.
