Big G Express Shelbyville, Tn So far........

Your Bud Joseph still @ Lessors?

 

Yes...

 

If not practical miles, what do they pay?

 

I didn't think it was too bad. I thought it was closer to practical miles than short miles. But when you pull a lot of short loads it can add up. Losing 20 miles on a 1000 mile run isn't the same as losing 20 miles 4 times on 4 250 mile runs.

 

My buddy in East Tennessee that drives for Big G said his miles dropped to 9300 in May. I would speculate that as existing contracts expire with Dry Van Carriers that the shipper's are going to have leverage and competition is going to be fierce. The market has unquestionable been in a downturn. The Spot market guys have been feeling it for a good year now. Best if everyone prepares for the possibility of some lean times ahead.

 

I believe you have a very good point there.

I have also found that things get tight during an election year then no matter who wins the wheels get to turning again..

 

I am back at BIG G for the 3rd time just came out of orientation on June 7th hopefully this time I will be able to stay. Things have been okay so far except for a APU problem that they cant fix until a later time, I just got home from my first week its been a long one just taking a quick 34 and head back out. Hope everyone has a good weekend is everyone else on here getting home okay?

 

Always do...
welcome back
