    Yeah said doing it to help a good customer.
    Unfortunately the good customer wasn't good today.
    Had to go back to get it reworked.

    Don't know how to load it Cali Legal.

    Hope things are going well out there for you all!! Been busy and a LOT of swinging shifts....a tad under 5,000 miles for last week!!!! Depending on whether Food Service of America here (Woodburn) get a move on and get this load out and done in double quick time or not (not looking good...) will either be a paltry 700 miles for the week or a better 3,000.....we shall see.....chasing my 70 hard for 5 days now....

    Meant to mention that there is a new transflo app that is more streamlined. I just found it a couple weeks ago in case y'all haven't. Transflo plus.

    Yep, big miles on one check usually results in low miles before or after.

    Honestly the base pay isn't the best. I'm not sure what it caps at, but I came on at 35 cpm, I'll be at 36 next month with a year with them. Quarterly bonuses are attainable. This quarter I'll a 5 cpm bonus for every mile driven. Plus on your anniversary you get a 2cpm bonus for paid miles for the year.

    I only keep insurance on myself, and it's not terrible. However, from what I hear, family plans are expensive. After 2 years, Holland pays the drivers premiums.

    I have no problem when I take home time in Houston. They do want 3 weeks out vs the normal 2. Not an issue for me since I usually stay out 2-4 months.

    Probably not the answers you hoped for, but hope it helps.

    For me the base pay is made up for by the long runs, nice equipment, and a quiet Qualcomm.

    I don't know about other drivers, I've experienced zero micromanagement. I've never been questioned on my route, even if it varies from the route they send me. That in itself is worth a penny or two per mile to me.
     
    Balakov100 and Bigcountry8079 Thank this.

    Guess I forgot about the Annual Bonus. Was pleasantly surprised.
    Just got the message this morning actually.

    On the routing I have not personally been questioned. I have talked to a few drivers that were.
    I mostly follow the route anyway. Occasionally I do get Goofy Ones, I used to send messages with explanation but quit since I never got a response.
    anyway.

    I just make sure I have a good reason/explanation if I don't follow it., and obviously don't add a ton of miles.
     
    TexTrucker Thanks this.
