    You’re not working independently though. Customer and company give an appointment and it’s up to you to get it there during that time frame.

    God forbid you pull like fed ex or Amazon style freight because they want it there now. Shippers and receivers handle this differently. If you want to get the job be more flexible to your schedule then might need to look into being independent. Getting a chance can make you okay to good living depends on company. There is more transportation jobs then just class a.

    Anywhere from an hour to a day.
    I can call my DM for the actual windows or just adjust the time with the Mac 9, which is the load acceptance macro.

    There is an option to counter the times, so I can change pick up and/or delivery times.
    If my times are within the customer requirements it kicks back a message saying that I have been committed on the load with the new times.
    If they don't, the pplan is removed and another is soon sent.
     
    88 Alpha and L84APPT Thank this.

    If you don’t need to travel with a pet or rider you might consider looking to see if there are any good motor coach jobs near you. They put you up in a hotel and you would be home more often.

    Thank you very much for the suggestion. What exactly is a 'good' motor coach job? What do they haul and in what type of equipment? Does it require any additional endorsement(s) and if so what kind? Have you had any personal experience with motor coach jobs?

    Duh-oh! Disregard my last post. I think I figured it out. I enjoy my solitude waaaay too much to consider hauling individuals;).

    A friend of mine was laid off for the winter so he took a job driving a casino bus. He'd pick up passengers at five or six different little towns in northern California and haul them to a casino in Reno. He'd hang out for the day and then haul them back.
    He said the job was dead simple but having to listen to people all the time he was driving made his head ache. Lots of complainers and whiners. And drunks. He said the drunks were the worst.
     
    Rugerfan Thanks this.
