Ashley Distribution

The truckload side is about 85/15 between d/h and live on at least one end. We don't touch anything.

Furniture loads out to start the week usually. We don't do store runs unless they are full truck customer unloads. Run to a drop yard or other warehouse. Backhauls are raw materials back to the plants or broker loads to get you repositioned to do it again.

Scaling is only on the backhauls. They're usually heavy. We do alot of Pepsi, some beer, some malwart and the occasional oddball loads as backhauls. The furniture loads rarely ever weigh more than 15k. The backhauls are usually balanced pretty well. Just one customer in Naperville I can think of right offhand that has a tail heavy overweight issue.

 

That's a nice truck.

 

Where do you run out of. Looking at leesport pa

 

I'm out of advance, nc.

Leesport needs drivers lol they send us up there to pick up the slack. Out of there you'll do a lot of

holland, mass
Oakdale, pa
east Syracuse, ny
Jamestown, ny
Herman, Me

Those are the main drop yards I've been to out of there but there are a few others then you'll do backhauls out of jersey, Pittsburgh, Carlisle, fogelsville, Allentown, Elmira, pretty much all points north and east of Leesport.

 

I've met many Ashley drivers over the years and not one had anything bad to say about the company. Come to think of it, that in itself should be equivalent to a miracle or the 8th wonder of the world considering the overall state of today's trucking.

Looks like you've hitched your wagons to a winner, Driver! God bless and if we ever get to meet out there on the highpay highway, the coffee's on me !!

 

I see openings in Ecru for PTP. Says no touch, what is that? Always thought all of Ashley drivers unloaded furniture. Is PTP different?

 

Point to point truckload. D/H no touch. A little live.
No unloading I'm too old for that #### lol the division is relatively new.

Just the LTL guys unload. More money but they earn every penny.

 

I will be on the phone tomorrow finding out if I qualified. Thank you

 

Hey flyingmusician I was wondering how the drivers in holland mass are doing. I live near cape cod, and have been following you guys on here for a while now. I might be looking to join you guys... thanks

 

@almostthere

I didn't mean to hijack your thread man lol I'm just awake and answering questions

Carry on let us know how it's going.

For you other guys we do have a long running thread on here you can get some of our day to day just do a search for it or you can get to it off my page I think. Couple of us post there somewhat regularly
