Well, that depends on the company. Some have a max limit of say $100 for lumper fees while others will pay whatever the actual cost is. My example...
I used to lump a lot of my frozen loads for the $120 extra cash I'd make. It eventually cost me 3 herniated discs and a 5 years out of the cab for...
I've never driven a 'star but always wanted to. I agree with your view of the W900L.... FWIW, BO
Yep, you savvy good amigo! One tip that may help someone regarding loads to be slip sheeted onto "your" pallets. There you are, dog butt tired...
Sounds like you should contact USIS and get a look at your DAC. Maybe the info on there is why you are being "shunned"...... Maybe you can get...
Thanks much TL....They don't sound too promising! Anyone else? BO
NO ONE has worked for TRL? Gee they must have a bigtime driver shortage! :smt043 BO
Reefers? Besides the aforementioned stuff like clean, sweet smelling and pre-chilled trailer, be prepared to deal with high priced lumpers. ($125+...

Does anyone have any experience with TRL? BO
Heck, I've been to docks where they wouldn't even let you use their pallet jacks, never mind something like a forklift. (Even if you are...
I've had the spring brakes fail to hold enough for a slide, but a couple of chocks (or even rocks, blocks, etc) will work.... One of the best...

IMO, you are already driving one of the best looking trucks around. Love those W900L.... I drove a older 379 Pete for a time and liked it OK. It...
Sounds a little like PJ has had some trouble with the "big orange". Wonder who's fault? Was it an "attitude thing"?....... BO
Not just the speed ratings, I'll bet a lot of them have no idea how much pressure is in their tires either. Just thump 'em with the ol' tire billy...
This whole business of lumpers is my pet peeve of truck driving. As far as I'm concerned, the unloading of a consignee's product is THEIR...
That sounds good.... BO
