2010 Orientation and OTR training time.

Hot diggity!! Congrats!!

 

Congrats, Miz! Am looking at ussx pretty hard, still trying to figure out what I wanna be when I grow up. Best of luck and keep us posted. Have you heard what the mileage pay is like?

 

I've done a few TSC runs (I'm not dedicated, tho). They're not bad...you get your load, get the to store and they unload you. The hardest part is getting into some of their docks back behind the stores. I just finished a TSC run last night and am currently sitting in Minot, ND waiting on a dispatch.

 

They pay on a sliding scale unless your on a dedicated account, the one I'm on pays .37/mile but for newbies any run over 900 miles which is rare, only pays .215/mile, yes they have a half cent instead of giving you an even .22 and I believe its .34 for runs under 300 miles which is what a majority of the otr runs are. You get screwed because they send most of the freight to the railyard. They also pay HHG mileage so we get ripped on that to I have a run that goes from Evans, GA to Bolingbrook, IL and I get shorted 80 miles but its still an 800 mile run. I mentioned this to my FM and it fell on deaf ears.

 

Be careful in the nc snowstorm! Lol. Good luck and keep the shiny side up.

 

Good luck Miz!

Do your best and don't be too hard on yourself. Take care and be safe.

 

Drive safe - learn lots - keep us up to date as you can!!
