Dry vs Liquid?

Ethos, hope you don't mind me asking, but why are you looking to leave Schneider?

 

Idle percentage allowance varies by region and time of year. The southern terminals get a higher "allowance" in the summer than the northern get, and vice versa in the winter. It plays a part of the overall monthly bonus but not the entire thing. With the driving time and the blower time not included in the overidle, as long as you shut off the truck when you are not in it then the idle time is attainable for most.

 

What freight lanes do you want and would you want local, regional, or system work? I myself am a system driver Canada included. 145k miles 2013. Home every 2 weeks by choice.

 

Why not give the A&R FtWorth terminal a holler then and discuss regional? They (we) have a large freight base and the terminals based around large populations generally have good local/regional work with time thru the house during the week and most weekends off. Most of the drivers at this terminal seem happy when I breeze in and out. This time in the breeze died and I got "stuck" here. Did only 23 miles today yet made $220 in 8hrs. Tomorrow gonna do a local then breeze down to the Highlands terminal for a load twds the house. Not too shabby.

 

Does a&r require haz mat endorsement ?

 

No HazMat nor tanker endorsement needed. TWIC and Passport are a plus.

 

Lilbit of new info, new load/unload pay raise starting 7/1. Depending on experience level can add up to $30 per load. Also, since the bonus structure was put into place, I've hit the full bonus every month. ($250)

 

Thread revival here, DFW terminal is consolidating their 2 warehousing operations into one massive warehouse opening in November I think it was.
