SPD out of Arlington, WA. They haul some pretty cool freight. If I wanted to stay out longer than 2 weeks, I could make more on the semi side at COTC, but I'm looking at switching back to the quads (shoulder pending). I was making more home every weekend on that fleet.

SPD
-Lots of East Coast Work
-Forced to take per Diem in Paycheck
-Automatic transmisions
I'm not in their hiring area anyways though. -
Yall hire o/o....if so what they looking like over there
-
Seeing how I've been sitting empty for 24 hours and every week I empty out in Seattle or Portland and wait minimum of 2 hours for a pre plan my patience are wearing very thin at the moment
-
Yes they hire O/O. That's about all I know about it though.
-
What do you usually haul out of that area?
For us 283 guys, the coast is one big black hole. You're lucky if you only have to wait a couple of hours for someone to find you a load out of there. -
Either USG from Auburn or genie or Kalama for coils. They said today to load coils but no pre plan as of yet. You would think this would be a good freight area for a company that's from the area and has a big presence here
-
If it is any consolation my experience has been similar in that area. It doesn't make sense to me either but it is what it is.
I asked for a load going by the house for easter Sunday and I got a load of trailers headed to our LA yard not due till Monday so that was nice. -
IDK maybe I expect something that is unrealistic and I know it's not always their fault but since I run a dedicated I have to be back to LA by Thursday night or Friday to reload. Got a load of coils to Sactown then deadheading down to Kaiser after that
-
Most owner ops I've talked to are averaging around 1.75 a mile loaded and empty depending on where they run
