Message:: [QUOTE="Banker, post: 8474327, member: 93555"]I work with more happy company drivers now than I did at Jack Cooper. We are at a short haul railhead and the guys that make the money run 2 loads a day. I usually do about 1.5 a day. Deliver 2 or load 2, but never load and deliver 2. Not everything is always sunshine and roses, but that is carhaul for you. Even union guys at short haul railheads have to run 2 loads a day to make money. That is just the nature of the beast. Short freight carhaul work definitely isn’t for everyone.When I ran to Memphis I normally had to load south towards Canton to get a good load back north. Some people who hire in think they are going to walk in the door day one and get the best work and that usually doesn’t happen most places. It didn’t work that way for me, but it works better the longer I am here. Some days you still have to take one for the team.[/QUOTE]
