    how much freight do you handle doing office furniture hauling that you must be doing a lot of inner city driving going to these little mom & pop furniture stores up here in the NE. I live in Springfield Ma area I always have looked at hummer but really never followed through deffinatley not into hand unloading

    It doesn't go to mom and pop stores it goes to warehouses [staples office Depot] you don't have to touch any of it if you don't want to [ I don't] if your willing to do driver assistance you get payed for it

    I maybe talk to dispatch 2 times a week and maybe once a month they call me
    Routing is to the minimum just get a via point on certain loads. [Us 30 across IN us 50/400 to the south west] I'm sure if they felt they needed to do more with an individual driver they would but I never have any trouble

    I won't answer that. If your worried about a drug test driving a 80000 pound vehicle is NOT for you

    No, I don't smoke anymore. Stopped before I got my cdl back in Oct of last year and I'm asking to make sure so I know if I'm clear to pass a hair test. Wouldn't want to take a hair test before a year has passed to be safe. I was just with Us and I'm switching carriers now.
