    Well I haven't unloaded any load that I pulled from and they do pay for lumpers. They Pay for layover , breakdown , ect. I even pulled over 13k last month paid miles. They also say you will get at less 10k miles a month unless you are lazy and don't want to work. Just saying.

    Yes I can spell it. No I'm not doing it,yes I know how to lift,no i am not lifting the boxes of bloody nasty chicken ,don't care what the price is-not doing it. Hope I made my point on that. My wife is thin and makes over 60K a year at a hospital,I'm just workin to pay for daughters texas a@m degree, apartment,car, etc. All kidding aside I will move a box or 2 but the last time I tried to lump some I got bloody chicken juice all over me-that sucked!

    Crap,forgot to add+pulled oversize loads and flatbed for 6 yrs w/8' heavy lumber tarps,6'heavy lumber tarps an the usual heavy chain,straps etc. When you get older and worn/burnt out you tend to work smarter not harder. If I can't make enough $$ driving and have to lump my loads its time to either cut my spending,or, get out and retire,BTW I'm typin with my thumbs on a crackberry so overlook the spelling and abreviations. I'm just going to have to bring my laptop w/me so I can get with the program. Lol

    Hey Wolf, how long have you been at FR? How often do they wash the trucks? What is a "Fitzgerald Glider Motor"?
