Message:: [QUOTE="yankatank, post: 8234943, member: 211792"]Didn't know they were local down there? I guess you'd be reporting to Rockwall terminal. As far as local work goes, it doesn't pay all that great, compared to OTR(which is common at all companies, except LTL). Although this was 7 years ago, when I started at EPES I went to orientation with a girl that went local. Ran into her about 3-4 months after we both started. She said they had to do 3 loads a day(which is pretty much all the time you had to cover, except maybe you had enough time to squeeze in 4 loads one day a week, time permitting) and it paid $32 a load! Now, granted, this was 7 years ago I know EPES has had a pay raise(I started top pay was 42cpm and now it's 47cpm not much of a raise)...so if $100-$130 a day is your thing, good for you. All I can personally say, on my end, is EPES is great to start your career at. Even if it's starting your transition from OTR to local, however, that is about it! Get your experience and move on.[/QUOTE]
