    Nope. Hook up open my cap and gate vlv. Turn pump on wait 30 minutes. Scale out at 100000 lbs and drive to offload and do the same. Every once in awhile you get some on your boot but thats it.

    LTL's pay a good wage to run P/DC. Most LTL's pay between $19-$30/hr with OT. The LTL's that aren't Union follow Union CBA's closely. Whatever the new CBA is reflects on the rest of the industry.

    That being said, I drive for the post office. I'm a city driver that spends most nights glued to a dock. I 'work' 48 hours a week and gross $1,400 easily, and that's only 6 8 hour days. You could easily double that number if you ran your 70's out.
