Not yet anyway. They’ve changed almost everything else tho. Ruined the company if you ask me. It’s still a good job but Conway made you feel...
Pretty good. We just got bumped up to $27.70/hr here
Some p&d drivers work the dock. It really depends on the shift you end up with at bid time. The guys with a little rank pick positions that won’t...
Nice! Doing flatbed?
That’s the Big E division of Estes I was talking about. They do large flatbed deliveries for them.
There’s a division of Estes called Big E that has a few contracts with Home Depot as well as HH Gregg and others. It’s not part of their LTL...
I second that. Call progressive. Find an ad for a truck that is same make model and year that you are looking for and write down the vin on the...
Man some of you would immediately call on the driver? That’s messed up man. You never know what a guy is going through. My opinion in these...

I assumed he meant 3900 a month for liability, trailer interchange, ect
Wow 3900 is steep! It’s doable but would make for a rough first year. I also talked to a guy named Denis at Tropical. Figured it may be a decent...
I also live in south Florida and am planning on getting a truck and going solo. Been watching the loads on DAT for a couple months. There’s no...
yea I’m sure you’re right about that. I have heard guys who transferred from other regions say it didn’t even feel like the same company. The...
Go get it then. It’s a simple test and about $100. Will be the best $100 you ever invested in your career if local work is what you want to do
I got a buddy who runs Extraboard out of 045. (Jacksonville FL) He turns over 3k Miles a week every week. I worked for them for 4 years. If you...
Estes hired me in 2012 with a 30 day old license. My brother was hired there a year later with a 6 month old license. They aren’t the best LTL...
