    What’s the catch with these $5 mile tire loads, driver assist? Have you guys done those tire loads?

    Seems too good to be true ....?

    Donno. I never saw any $5 mile tire loads when I was there. I hauled mostly haz-mat loads, they paid much better than anything else.

    Yes trailer maintenance is a department you never want to have to deal with. A complete nightmare in my experience.
     
    shogun and IndianaF150 Thank this.

    When i was with LS I used to do tire loads for agent dls. Multi stop Discount Tire loads out of the Excel warehouse in Terrell. Lost of work but good money.

    Was it hard work? You just roll the tires or you gotta climb a 40 foot tall tire rack with tire in each hand and one around your neck?

    Yes i’ve been at hotels, my expense, since orientation
