Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

dont really know yet wheathauler i just hired on last month with them i hauled 2 loads of wheat last week and i think our other two hopper drivers haul some.around dfw doesnt look like they have started harvesting much yet

 

I've called eclipse too. Pharm is right, they don't care about experience. You have to have your own authority to pull for them. I think they figure if you've gone to the trouble of getting that, a truck, insurance, etc. you must be pretty serious about driving. Getting your own authority and establishing your own operation like Pharm has done kind of speaks for itself. When I called, I told them I had been driving for a year and was going to be buying my own truck, getting my authority, etc. and he told me to give him a few weeks notice so that he could have a trailer in the yard waiting on me.

 

Did you talk to Earl?

that's frustrating.

I'm still trying to figure out why the rate on the same load seems to be a tad higher when I'm further away then when I'm up the street. I highly doubt all these shippers are following my movement with a tac in a map.

 

Are rates about to go up?

..or, is it just a prime time for companies to bid insanely low in the hopes of retaining year-round business afterwards?
