    Good luck with the move. Used to pull a lot of R&L freight. If I remember correctly lots of hazmat. They have some very nice yards and some yards that are....well....not so nice....lol

    If they haven't they will. We have 3 mama cows that were born in my old Merritt trailer. I took them to my Mama to bottle feed of course she asked my daughter to help. That ended up them being named, which led to a bull calf getting named. All that has turned into all the calves of those three being named. Well y'all see where this is going

    Thanks FatDaddy !

    When we did the Ceva dedicated account at USX we would do R&L loads. R&L said they do a lot of HazMat because for the longest time they didn't charge extra for HazMat loads. What they'll probably have us do is hook up to a double from the Chicago terminal and take it to a truck stop in Murfreesboro, TN and swap trailers with another R&L driver. Do that 5 times a week then home for 2.

    Funny story.....when we started Ceva, US Xpress told us to always weigh R&L loads especially out of the Chicago terminal because another husband and wife team picked up a load out of there and used R&Ls scale and it scaled okay. They didn't hit a weigh station till they got to Missouri and it turned out they were 90,000 lbs. :biggrin_25526: The wife was driving so she got hit with a $900+ fine. :3some:
