Its a good company. You'll get your own hotel room & lunch. The subs are pretty good along with the buffet at the hotel. I've been with them four weeks. So far so good.
My new company is Raven Transport

I've enjoyed your thread.
Can you guess or do you know the amount of times you've had detention? Are there a lot of long waiting times? What is the percentage of drop and hook? Is it all no touch? -
Personally I have had 3 waiting times that I was paid detention for. Most of the shippers and receivers are on top of loading and unloading us. In the situation where they were not I was paid detention.
Everything we do is no touch freight except plants, which, in the spring drivers can sign up for to place on pallets. It's a multi stop account that from what I hear pays well, if that's the kind of thing a driver wants to do but isn't required to volunteer for.
I've had more preloaded trailers at shippers that were live unloaded at finals than drop and hooks. Ive also had preloaded to drop and hooks and live load to drop and hooks. It's really a variety but I'm sure backing into a dock coming or going has been attached to the majority of the loads I've done. As long as PTA is correct for next load can either have another load before or shortly after unload.
Also I've never had a winter with Raven so freight times may slow down which I haven't experienced yet. Going to the same shippers and receivers may help this. Will find out and post how the winter is going.Last edited: Oct 17, 2014
Tamiami Thanks this. -
Was feeling real bummed out because Raven never responded to Hun's app and every company that he put an app with called and offered him a job but I got his DAC (finally, only took 3 weeks!) and Raven is not listed as requesting it. I think something happened to his app since it was never even acknowledged. Going to try again.

Hey Lady did you call Raven's recruiting department and let them know you submitted it?
-
No, I thought I'd give it a couple of days to let them get the new app then give them a call.
