    Here I is, There You am! ####, ####, #### ,####, ####, ####, ####. If you are an OO in CA, ask them to pay extra if it's a bad load. They might go for it and you have some more pocket money. It's called "Doing business.":biggrin_2551: I used to do it when I was leased there.

    i am about to finish my 10 day here in n.j. the rest of my group left today for missoula to pick up their trucks but i had a family problem and had to leave in the miidle if my 10 day ,they were absolutely a class act about it and am staying for the first few days of next week to finish up. i know my leaving caused my trainer time problems but he just smiled and said we'll deal with it. the head honcho was in town yesterday and bought us lunch.Walt Ainsworth is his name ,he's the COO and wished us well .thwy stress safety so just take it easy out there.you arent going to haul anything that has to be there overnight,carpet,furniture,more carpet more furniture i have no idea what comes in on the west coast but am looking forward to finding out.as far as company choices,i think i'll be here for a long time.driving is driving,, who youre doing it for makes the difference to me. theyve treated me great theyre glad im here and ill return the respect and give it 100%.c'mon jump in the waters fine !!!

    Hey, it's a mixed blessing :) We got the miles this week, but we haven't had a lot of time to breathe.

    I haven't gotten to Sayerville, but that's the first time I've heard it described as "huge." Most people are fussing about how tight it is.

    The first time he gets asked to back a 53 ft into one of the doors of this huge terminal. He won't think it's that big either LMAO.

    That #### place can drive you nuts some times. :biggrin_25526:

    ran local for w/s out on nc terminal they get a lot of new furniture out of here going out to the northwest, they were putting the trailers on rail cars and shipping them out dont know if that has changed,, just noticed last post on this 2007 but maybe it will help someone,,, you may have to unload the furniture at destination or local might deliver, they have a lot of no touch freight, grass seed from oregon is one of the big acts, it is also no touch hope this helps someone,,,,
