Britton Transport Inc.?

I'm currently at less than 4 months here and have been almost everywhere except the northeast. Our dispatcher has told me he prefers to keep us out of there, although it can happen on occasion.

A passport can get you runs to Canada with extra border crossing pay, around $25 I think. Tarp pay is $25 for steel and $50 for lumber. $50 if you have to take a 34 on the road.

When I started I was told to expect to be out around 25 days/month. Seems like the way it has gone thus far. I have yet to request time off but have been routed through home regularly to enjoy a couple weekends per month.

 

Good point. Add another .10 cpm for all oversize loads. On my first right now. 10 ft wide which isn't bad at all. Kind of different having to follow the routing on permits and pulling in to all scales even with prepass giving the green light. All going well thus far as most have been closed enroute to Penn.

The curfews are a pain and didn't allow me to get this delivered by Friday afternoon so have to sit on this load until Monday. Catching up on college football today and breaking out the fishing pole tomorrow as I'm walking distance to the Potomac!

 

Thanks for the responses, folks. Been talking to Mike (is he an independent recruiter?) and should be heading up to orientation next week. Need to call tomorrow and make sure everything is good. I'm going to the flatbed side and was told 2 weeks training to learn the process. I had hoped I would never be in a "two dudes, one truck" scenario again, but guess it's one of those things you can't avoid. Anyone know if they run you like a team during training? Seems a lot of connoisseurs do...

Hopefully everything works out and I'll be on my way to North Dakota next weekend for orientation...

 

Same here. Mike is helping out since the other recruiter is off on leave or something. Really nice folks. I'm just a bit concerned about the 2 year contract because I am a new driver and don't know what to expect.

 

What is team
pay like and how many miles a week can you run?? Are pets allowed? Hazmat req? Canada? Layover compensation? Health,
life, dental ins, 401 K etc available?
