EPES TRANSPORT-Greensboro, NC

CONGRATS I'm sure u'll love it here as much as i am. Sitting here in Greenwood Ind waiting on the storm to pass. Tenn and Kent supposed to get tornadoes.

EPES has about 85% drop and hook, I got a load from huntersville nc going to romeoville Ill. Got thier about 1pm today, dropped my load and got another same place in and out in 1 hr. Had to get fuel at gary ind pilot or i would have beaten the traffic.
Loads going to Atlanta Ga for sat but can drop tomorrow and been home late fri or sat morning.

WHEW Im tired, Not used to all this WIDE open work. But they will keep u loaded, THATS FORSURE

 

Thanks! Sounds promising at least. I will be talking with them tomorrow about setting up orientation. I appreciate the fols on here for providing some intel in this company for me.

 

Does anybody know if they ran teams at all? And if they do, what do you know about it (miles, hometime, pay, etc.)?

 

No teams that I am aware of, Extreme. We run primarily E of the Mississippi and are guaranteed home every weekend. While we DO transport "High Dollar" freight occaisionally, no expedieted freight or anything I've ever hauled that would warrant teams. Hope that helps..........

 

Thanks for a quick reply Charliewayne

Do any of you guys know how the dedicated/LTL runs work at EPES? Is there good money to make?

 

How much are you guys bringing home weekly? How many NY routes do many of you drivers do?

 

I'm also a driver for EPES and my checks are usally 600,900 a week. Now if u have family ins out of them, will cost about 125$ a week. Also out of ur checks.
i'm right now in NH, going to pickup in RI going to Sc for thursday morning. Might have to relay that one out of the Chester yard. Has to be their by 0700. They have freight EVERYWHERE

EPES will DANG SURE keep u rolling. WHEW I'm tired

600 is very low considering your OTR, that's horrible really.

 

Your right sir, thats because i was home every weekend and not getting no miles.
NOW I'm running my full 70hrs via comp log book and will get 3,060 miles by the time i get home sunday. really about 65 hrs they way i got it figured.
Also 07 truck is gone to another poor driver, hope he has better luck with the truck then me.
Got a 10 Cascadia and MAN O MAN is this truck SWEEEETTTTTT...
Did i say that i really like this truck ??? hehe
E LOGS aint so bad, its all how u manage ur time.
