Talk to your coordinator or contractor relations - packages have probably gone out already. There are always add on loads to pick up as extras.

I can't run them due to my fifth wheel, not enough clearance to my headache rack. I wonder how some of those loads will work out with ELD's since most of the routes I saw in the northeast pushed the limits of what might possibly be done legally if there was no traffic at all. How can you plan like that to run from PA up to new england and back calculated at the speed limit no less?

 

Eh i did it last year i didn't have a problem with times. Most of the time the loads wern't ready at said time thoguh

 

As of friday they hadnt started offering packages yet.

 

Yeah i just called the SKY office. They still haven't gotten anything from ups but they should of had it today. Was told we should be getting calls end of month being nov. Hoping to get my Plainfield runs again. Not really much nite time driving as a flatbed driver

 

Almost every load I saw near me really needed 11 full hours of driving to do the load if no complications. That doesn't allow for getting to the terminal which is 45-60 minutes typically. The idea of having to average the speed limit or more never worked for me.

 

That sounds to much like work...

 

Didnt everyone do them on Elogs last year?

 

most of them I suppose. Didn't the mandate go into effect in Dec?

 

Ya, but everyone here was already on Elogs

 

there are still several drivers in my locale running paper, although their numbers have been diminishing slowly.
