And Chuck Mangione died today.
The crackling was the actual wood on the floors. Those trailers had holes all over the place. The clamp truck tires would break through and you’d...
After I left Abilene in 2021, I worked at ST Tissue in Franklin for a VERY short while. They are basically the warehouse/loading facility for IP....
Definitely a holly sheet moment, JB. I wish you well in your surgery and recovery.
I was at home when it happened, but 2 months later I was in Springfield MO in training. Hmm, didn’t realize I’ve been driving almost 14 years....
I hope all goes well for you, JB. We just found out my DIL has ampullary carcinoma. Rare for a 31 year old. First it was her blood sugar going sky...
I like iPhones myself. I hold onto mine until they won’t hold a charge and then some. LOL! Currently have an 11. Before that, I had a 6 and used...
I got a “Hey, we’d like you to come back and help us win and hammer out miles.” email from a Joshua Gilmore the other day. Um, not only no, but...
Amen to that! I went to orientation for a company last February. Sounded great. They didn’t pay the best, but the perks were pretty great. Until I...
Precisely why I decided to switch from linehaul (out 18 days, home 5) to regional/local (home every weekend Friday night to Monday morning). Did I...
If you live over 100 miles (I think) from the terminal.
Yep. That was always the way to not ever do a run again. Tell them you’d love to be on it. When I was taking care of my mother, I wanted to do...
I see the much loved loop in your weekend schedule.
LOL. No. Well, in one aspect they’re all kind of the same. There’s not really anyone to tell you where to drop your trailer, get your paperwork...
Management is iffy at 99% of carriers. You just have to know how to manage them and make them think it’s their idea. I have had the same truck...
If you don’t have littles or grandkids at home, or don’t mind being gone that amount of time, I think it’s not a bad job at all. You could even...
Depends on how hard you run, but pretty much.
I think I ran an average of 2800 miles per week when I was on linehaul. They don’t shut down loading trailers, they just don’t load linehaul....
FFE does NOT pay for your off days, even on the road. Hourly pay for local loads and linehaul cpm pays according to your experience. I cannot...
I’m out of the Rocky Mount NC terminal. When I do a linehaul load, I ONLY go to the Lithonia GA terminal. We can go to Xenia OH, Burlington NJ or...
