Melton, Whatcher 20

there was a guy in my orientation that did this, i remember him talking about it. he made it to the end of orientation.

 

Tried it, batteries are too far gone and yea I was just home for a week and don't want to go back out. I'm waiting for guy to come back to replace batteries, sat there hooked up for an hour and apu wouldn't even fire and while hooked they went from 12.4 volts then after 3 attempts to start they dropped to 8 volts and never rose just kept dropping. After spending time with kids makes me really wish I had a job like my wife, she works 730 to 3.

 

dont you have enough experience? find something close to home...

i have an offer home almost every night sometimes youll be out but can sleep in sleeper or hotel, but i have to have a year, get hazmat, tanker, doubles, triples. will more than likely hit that once i got my experience

i have a little girl so i know what its like.

 

Incorrect. I always got layover if I sat over the weekend. Just depends on your DM

 

Each Dm dose there Way mine just rolls the days into my days off you can put in for the pay anytime you want you don't have to take the days when you get the pay

 

Thanks for the info if I ever decide to quit I will make sure I collect my vacation pay first

 

Meltons layover pay is strange
It's based off the amount of miles you're going to run, you're loaded call and your legal ETA
example

pick up is Thursday 600 mile run deliveries Monday

loaded Mac placed at 20:00 hr
legal ETA is 600 Miles divided by 50 mph = 12 hr
+10 hour break for every 11 Hour Dr.
legal ETA 22 hr
load can show up at 1800 hrs. on Friday
at 1800 hrs. on Saturday Melton's first 24 freebie
at 1800 hrs. on Sunday you get your for first Day layover pay
Used to be $35 not sure anymore
if you're still sitting at 1800 hrs. on Monday with no dispatch over 100 miles or at a shipper not loaded with less than 100 deadhead miles you get day two of layover pay $50
And $50 for every 24 hrs after that you're still sitting

 

Man I couldn't handle that. FYI Ashley furniture Is hiring in a lot of places. Weekly home time and great pay. Check them out when you have your year. If you already have it go now . Search Ashley on this site.

 

loaded lumber in Va middle of.nowhere. ran out of time by the time i left no t/s for a good 100 miles. sleeping at a very small gas station that was down the street. delivery is wednesday in indiana.

 

I've done that before, is it going to Elkhart, if so you gotta watch cause there's some streets that say no trucks and half to go thru a neighborhood to get there. American Eagle or something?
