    I picked up a load in Port Newark and took it to Pickering, ON

    which seems slightly pointless wouldn't it have been more useful and easier to ship it to Halifax, St. John, Quebec?

    less paperwork and probably less logistics

    and probably cheaper

    I see them going to Hagerstown Md the they say they haul to Wisc and then back to FL or they also go to Clovis NM a lot. The only thing in Clovis is Leass Mexican food. Its been there for 50 years and it's good.

    I've received a job offer this morning. Thinking about attending orientation at the first of the year. How does the end of the year affect your mileage here? I live about 35 miles from the terminal in Winter Haven.

    I have heard a rumor that on January 1st 2015 all IRT trucks will have electronic logs. Even though I don't mind them i'm not a huge fan of them being required. but this is just a rumor i've heard

    another rumor i've heard is if your truck goes into the shop they WILL slow the trucks down to 65

    no idea how true either are, but its something that I heard

    Mine has always been 65 and I've been on elogs for almost a month. My miles aren't as good as they were and I'm not getting reloaded fast enough. I like being able to push buttons instead of having draw a dang comic book day after day and I like that it keeps track of things that I don't have to anymore. Also like having only two pieces of paperwork to scan in at a time instead of a thousand. Makes my life easier, but I'm also not making the money I was before.
