    Doing my local work? 4-4.5. Maybe a little worse when its single digit weather.

    If you have a clean record. You could look in our jobs section. Make two, maybe three times as much money, with no one on your ###, and have an APU, inverter, fridge, microwave.

    I am not Schneider.

    Does your pay depend on mpg?

    I got pretty far in the hiring process with Estes out of Charlotte, but the Linehaul manager turned me down due to not having experience driving a manual. I do not have a restriction on my license.
    I search for jobs everyday though, LTL interests me a lot but it's hard to get much traction with them due to some of them having older equipment and me going with a auto mega carrier from the start hurts. I also want to stay closer to my home or home daily if possible which is another reason why I'm hanging on here. A smaller issue is my age, I just turned 23 and some places won't consider me due to my age. I live between Charlotte and Florence, SC it's an hour trip either way.

    I have XT endorsements and have 1 ticket on my driving record for Red light violation in May of last year.

    It counts for one point toward our performance pay scorecard which adds .01 to your base mileage pay.

    Gotcha. Try having the shop check out your bunk HVAC. I have an EPU and it blows cold without the truck running, not sure if that’s what you have. Maybe give safety a call and see what they say.. worth a shot lol

    I'm curious what make/model are the moving fleet trucks and how are they specced? What speed are they governed at?
