    I keep hoping there is the ability at these companies to adjust at least a little to me. The previous companies have to some degree. Still hoping Heyl can make adjustments.

    Great thread XLSdraw.

    I like what I'm reading about this company. Do they require Haz-Mat and do their terminals have showers?

    400 truck company. No hazmat at all. Terminals do have showers. Very exclusive hiring areas. Their website "Heyl Truck Lines" gives the hiring area in great detail by touching each state. Overall very informative and accurate website. As a matter of fact, I pulled my first non - temperature controlled load today.

    Ok, I rolled into the dreaded consignee this morning and remarkably I made it out 3.5 hrs After appt time. About half as long as it usually takes. Rolled on back to Des Moines and live loaded a soft drink load. Rolled up to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and dropped that at the terminal. Grabbed an MT and pulled into the T/S with 4 minutes left on 14. I am at Worthington, MN and my shipper is across the street. Supposed to be a Drop and Hook. Consignee is in Lakeland, Florida. So finally headed for home. Today felt like I was back doing dry van.

    Forgot to mention, supposed to get really nasty tonight. Winds have been howling all day and mix in freezing rain, ice, and snow later. Oh Boy!

    Thanx. Two more questions:

    1) They don't make you go into Canada, right?

    2) Is Heyl pronounced Hay-el?

    Called recruiting. They said Canada is not required. Heyl is pronounced like this High-L.

    Detention is 4 hrs After appt time. So far, I got 26.00 once and 82.00 once. As noted previously, most of my waiting is for appt times to arrive.
