Start at McElroy on Monday!

Correct- so long as you hit the requirements for a 34 hour restart. I know of one driver who, by choice, didn't get home until Saturday morning and ran on recap the next week because he didn't get a restart.

That's right.

 

I worked for McElroy for about Eight months. Would probably still be there but we added a new addition to the family so had to take a little break. Really don't have any major complaints. I think all in all they are a pretty good starter company. Pay was not that bad, home time was okay. Just depended on where you picked your load up on Fri and where it had to be delivered on Mon.

 

Do you really get home during the week some. The recruiter told me since I was fairly close to Cuba, AL, that id be able to get home sometimes during the week. Just wondering if they were blowing smoke.

 

I wonder how long u have to work at McElroy before u get on a dedicated run I live withen 15 miles of two lowes would love to get runs to them all the time but I wonder how much money u would make on runs like that

 

I don't think it matters where you live. It all depends where you pick up on fri and where it has to go on mon. They require you to be a your dest. 9 hours before your unload time. So if you pick up a load, lets say at TK in north of mobile and it has to be delivered in Little Rock, AR by 7 am Monday morning you wud have to leave out sun in enough time to be there by 9 pm sun night. And the dedicated drivers I knew at McElroy was there for at least 5 yrs

 

and yes there was times I got home during the wk. If I had a load that delivered close to my hometown I was able to stop and stay over night at my house

 

when u say dest 9 hours before time do u mean just in the town at the closet truck stop are parked outside there gate lol

 

seems like as long as u got there on time that should be what matters
