    If @firespock ever comes back on the board, I would like to know if you can leave either your trailer only or your truck and trailer at an affiliate that is not in your affiliate group. For example, if I worked for GCE Moblile, AL, could I leave my truck and trailer or just trailer at QCGA Red Level, AL?

    You would think the easy answer was YES, it is all Quality Carriers, but I understand an affiliate other than your own might take issue with you using their yard to park when you take time off, etc.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

    I don't know if it's still going on, but I've heard in the past if a driver from one affiliate went in to another affiliates area to get a load, that contractor would be the last loaded, if at all. Hopefully that part of it has gotten better.

    88 Alpha, I am honestly not sure about that question you asked. I have dropped a trailer for wash at Bristol QC but never left a trailer or truck anywhere else. You are with GCEC out of Mobile?? I'm with GCEC out of Morrow, never know you were with GCEC. Sorry, I haven't been posting a lot. Been running really hard and making some good money. Getting home almost every weekend, and still bringing home about $1000+ after expenses. I am trying to post more often but being so busy i keep forgetting to get on when i stop.

    No sir, I'm not with QC (yet), but I'm interested and that's the reason for the question. QCGA River Falls is the closest terminal but there is not much going on when you drive by the place. GCE Mobile is the next closest but I'm not sure if I want to drive my POV or my truck/trailer (depending on the situation) that far every time I take time off. If River Falls would let me park at their facility, it would be a much easier decision.

    Congratulations on your continued success with them. Post as often or as little as you like. Just know you have several readers cheering for you and wishing you the best.
