RogerThat, how much experience do you need to have for QC in Albany?

 

Maybe I can answer a few of your questions about QC in Bristol. I talked to the TM last week. His name is bill and seems like a real straight shooter on the phone. Pay is as follows
40.5 cpm loaded and empty
20 for loading and unloading.
Pays 1/4 of an hour pay to pre and post trip and do all of your paperwork.
Insurance is $33 a week
A few more things that I don't remember. Bill sounded like he was very anal about the upkeep of the equipment so I would expect that everything is in very nice condition. Starting off on the bottom sounded to me like you would do a lot of back and forth to Columbus, OH which paid a little over $400 a round. If you can do 3 of those a week you would have a pretty nice paycheck and plenty of time at home. Hope that helps

 

My daughter is a junior in high school and when she graduates I plan to relocate to another area and QC in Bristol is high on my list. Did you gain anymore info when you talked to him that I may have left out?
