    how is the preload network? do you guys get assigned your next load while on your current load? thats what im used to....i cant stand waiting an hour or two sitting around waiting for a load. also, i like driving from about 5-6 am till 5-6 pm....is that something CT will take issue with?

    Hey Mattfield, yeah my fleet leader gets me a preplan. He keeps me moving. I doubt there will be an issue with your "bankers hours". This is dry van where most shippers and receivers work "decent" hours. Also, we have a good amount of drop and hooks which should play well to your hours. Reefer, a different story. Good luck, buddy.

    Stuck at Blueline in Greensboro for the last three hours. 100,000 pizza boxes for Little Caesars in my wagon. Please take them off. Headed to the Epes yard in Winston Salem to pickup my home load headed to Lowes in Garysburg NC, then home to Plymouth. Boxes came from RockTenn in Wakefield MA. Decided to stay out over the weekend instead of taking a Friday homeload of siding to Norandex Elizabeth City. Oy vey! Life in the trucking lane!

    For anyone in the NC area, looks like they (CC) are having a Job Fair Wednesday, and Thursday in Charlotte.

    Ran out of time on my 14, so parked at the Rocky Mount yard and the wife picked me up. Dinner date at the Giant Red Crab. Had to. 140 mile roundtrip. And a second one tomorrow back to the truck. Maybe Cracker Barrel?
     
    bigred81 Thanks this.

    Cargo definitely needs another terminal up north. They really need 2. One in Ohio and one in Connecticut would be ideal. These back hauls are killing Drivers. We are spending way too much time waiting for these back hauls. This problem can be solved simply by having a couple of terminals to gain regular customers in those areas. Local guys could pick it up and bring it to the yard then the OTR guys could bring it back South. These wait times are crazy.

    So I've been at AP Exaust in Goldsboro since 1400. I waited 2 hours then went back to see if it was loaded yet. The guy say's "I didn't know you were waiting on a load." WOW!!! So it's now 2230 and still no load. They say some time after midnight. It's due in Edison,NJ at 0800 in the morning.... Lol I rarely run NE and thank God for that! I knew as soon as I saw my back haul was coming to Eastern NC I was screwed! I despise picking up loads here. Our Eastern NC accounts suck!
