    Franz Bakery MAY have what you seek. Union gig...free healthcare and LOTS of OT. You'll need a doubles/triples endorsement. Pay is around $26-27 an hour......

    Triples are bid runs only as far as I know, my friend is out of Denver and they pull triples on the bid, he has only pulled them twice out of Denver and was asked if he wanted to first, and never at any other terminal. I was told in Nashville by the terminal manager that extra board do not pull triples on the road, period.

    If it were around Knoxville, I’d be all over that, cabover or not.

    Tennessee isn't a state that allows all the weird stuff period. You'll see that on turnpikes only.

    Of course they don’t, but I do spend half my time in places that do, I was speaking of extra board drivers in general, other than my friend in Denver who helped out on a bid run when a guy was out, I haven’t heard anyone say they pull triples on the extra board, and it has been communicated to me that’s a general policy. However, it’s trucking so I’m sure rules are broken now and again, but a terminal that doesn’t pull triples like mine, or Washington, has no way to certify a driver with triples per Estes policy.

    They were hiring in Spokane about a year ago. They are definitely on my radar as well.

    Interesting. I know that Reddaway has the driver leave the state in doubles and can pick up a third in the neighboring state. My coworker would do that. Sounds like a suck fest meeting another driver in a dirt lot and breaking down and rebuilding based on the weight configuration.

    You can get lucky and not have to start on the extra board.

    Case and point I did not have too.
