Where to go now?

LTL is good.

Dedicated is good.

I run Dedicated for the Big Orange. Money is good. Hit 2 - 5 stores a night and average 1,920 miles per week. My direct deposit has a comma in it every week.

It's not the miles as much as the Accessorial Pay that makes it happen. Miles help though.

It's food so I do not touch it. I open and close the door and move the bulkheads. That's all. Run hard, keep the trailer outta the trees and wash the trailer before you take it back.

Easy.

 

yup running produce and stuff you don't touch alot of it ...but you gotta deal with lumpers unfortunately

 

Not to mention the packing houses that were screaming at your dispatch about "where the hell are you?" and then getting there and finding they are still waiting for the trucks to come in from the fields. . .I don't care if I NEVER get to Nogales or Yuma again!

 

There ya go Big Don& just when i was starting to like you! Judging from your avatar I'm guess ur a freight hauler--(Nothing wrong with that--have family retired from Big R and cornflakes)and if you go back a few decades I actually drove a Big R truck myself just wasn't 4 me! Although all I do to this day is LTL--it's just long haul perishable(only thing out there still pays any real money) so i understand work etc.
But NEVER go back to Yuma or Nogales??? My god man! Where is your sence of adventure--I've been off the road going on 3 months now(2 major surgeries) Buddy called me from the point Sat nite said "they're sending out a search party!" LMAO--I've just had way too much fun in Yuma over the years to feel that way!! Besides it makes you remember how goo you have it when Salinas opens back up next month!
No Yuma? NO Nogales?? whats next NO SAFEWAY?? C'mon man get a glove and get in the game
Just my $.02

PS--stay safe!

 

I'm out of the game completely Olhand. I done went and got myself retired along about 2008 or so. Sometimes I'm glad of it, sometimes not. . .

 

Oh that explains the lack of adventure! OK--remember fishing &motorcyles are the 2 best cures for retirement--and while you're at it--take a kid fishin with you--hell take 2 they're small!!LOL
ENJOY

 

That is great tovya. Just make sure you have a large "break down fund," because sooner or later, you will need it. No matter what you own.

 

if youre looking for an LTL job id look into ABF i think they have a terminal around there
