Anyone run out of the DC in Romeoville, IL?

I second that, kinda curious myself. I got a sheet on it but the number to call is wrong on it. I'm not sure if they are all together or if you can run just one account? I would be interested in the Home Depot part but not sure on the rest.

 

Sears and Kmart are live unloads by the store if you can stand being down for up to four hours a day this is the account for you once in a while you'll get a store at the mall you are lucky cause all you have to do is just pull out the old trailer hook back up to yours and put it in the hole and leave real quick their might be 1 unload before you get to the mall. I can go on and on about this crappy account. Pay I wanna say is 34 cents a mile and for every stop besides first and last is 15$

 

I'm running the Sears/Kmart account now. If you like to run, this is not for you. Very few drop and hooks, mostly live unloaded but they tend to go quick as Romeoville DC is primarily appliances. Can't speak for the pay as it will depend on your company, for me its $20/stop plus mileage.

 

Ask the recruitted these 3 questions,

Pay for stop

Avg number of stops per week

Avg weekly miles.

The figure is possible, but also depends on how much per mile. I know that on the Wal-Mart dedicated, it is likely, but they have about 10 additional stops per week, and they unload alot faster.

 

The sheet I got (had to find it) says 2200 to 2500 miles a week. $20 a stop with 2-3 stops per load. $150 for less than 150 mile loads. Also says 100% drop and hook which I know is not correct.

hometime is 100 mile radius of Chicago or Detroit home weekly, other out 12 home for 2.
covers MN, WI, IL, IA, MI and northern IN.

 

Remember recruiters tend to stretch the truth to get you in. If you stay out the 12 days, its possible to do 2200 miles. I'm close enough to be home weekly but its usually only long enough for a restart. Avg 1500 - 2200 per week.

 

I was on this account for awhile. All the above information is correct. It is not 100% drop n hook.... many live unloads with multiple stops. Number of miles and stops will vary from week to week. This is not a good account for new drivers in my opinion. Too many blind side and other very difficult backing.

 

Thanks, are they all grouped together as in you do sears, Kmart and Home Depot or can you be on just one part? I'm not too worried about the backing part just curious if would be much better than on GLR.
