    Anyone have experience with Costco dedicated? I generally enjoy delivering Costco loads when they come across for me, but I'm not sure how running on their dedicated account is. Also, does anyone know if there are any southeast regional accounts or anything like that?

    I know that Swift pulls for Ashley Furniture in NC. Is that dedicated, or do OTR drivers get those from time to time? My best friend's husband works there, and I would love to get the occasional 34 down there.

    I have been running Surge for Walmart DC in Harrisonville since the start of May, I am working about 6-8 hours a day and making alot more then I was OTR, from $700 gross to $1000+ gross, I have only been with swift since Feb so it can happen before 6 months, I just got a message today saying the Walmart DC in OK needs help so try calling your DL.

    My DL wont even talk to me about dedicated, just keeps telling me to wait until I get my permanent DM bla bla bla
    I did however get him to request for me to be western regional, to me thats one step closer to getting local or dedicated closer to home. At least I wont be in New york trying to get home to California, instead I might be in Colorado trying to get home which is easier.

    That is a good point, I will add, not sure how true it is but DL do make money off how many miles you run and with alot of the dedicated the miles are less but made up by stop pay. So if you are running decent miles they could be less then helpful getting you more money with less miles.

    I will keep persistent, maybe I can find a DM who needs some surge drivers, I just need to network and find out who does what and where.
