    Definitely, I’m still very green, I’m about a year back into my OTR journey and learning something new everyday.

    No need to feel bad about it lol. Sometimes the pay isn’t worth the headache and stress — especially after being out on the road for 6+ weeks.

    I hate trying to guess ETA’s and there’s always chance of chaos from them. I’ve had people swap and drop off a trailer with a blown brake chamber. I’ve had an overweight ticket cause someone shifted a load of honey and I trusted their scale ticket from when they picked it up. Had one fella get pissy a few weeks ago cause I had to relay their load since they miscalculated hours and couldn’t make their delivery — he was upset I didn’t get to the swapping point til 23:00 cause it took 4 hours to get his drop and hook delivery live loaded

    What's Schuster's hiring/running area if you don't mind me asking? I live in north central KS. They say they run to KS on regional...but that could be Kansas City and that's it

    There’s a decent amount of Bomgaar’s nearby if you’re anywhere close to US81, which would be a regional account, I believe. We also haul out of a salt plant in Lyons, KS frequently. And unfortunately, we have loads out of Liberal, KS that run through north central KS to Sioux City.

    No clue about exact hiring area for each regional account though.

    I know us OTR folks are up and down US81 all the time though, so you might be in the hiring area

    I not sure exactly what part of Kansas he’s from but I talk to a driver here from Kansas and he’s OTR but whenever he goes down to Texas or whatever he manages to get through the house. He’s been here a few years as well. I think he might be like 6 or 7 year vetaran.

    Actually come to think of it, they have a YouTube channel called Turnpikes and Twisties, they are from Kansas and Schuster drivers. Maybe they can help you out
