    Can you yard jockey somewhere nearby or work in the office for a trucking outfit, or truck brokerage? Are you able to collect UI? (Hopefully!)

    No on both accounts. I checked with a couple of the food distributors and one of the customers I had a good relationship with; they all require a valid CDL.

    Gordon announces new pay scale:

    We are pleased to announce a new, increased pay package for all Drivers! Check out our starting pay rates below. This is in addition to a comprehensive accessorial pay schedule featuring paid dock detention after only one hour, add a penny for all miles if you have a hazmat endorsement, add another $0.04 per mile for any miles run in Canada if you chose to go there, and another penny for our annual safety bonus!

    I got the Quallcom message in my truck this morning and then the email a few hours later. 3cpm beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. I have got to sit down one of these days and figure out what my miles are weekly. I have them all written down just havent added them up as of yet.

    I am still thinking it was a better decision than Knight.....

    So would I get that penny for hazmat if on the refer fleet?

    Oh, wait, it does not matter. I pay myself more per mile, pay the wife a little bit per week, and the maintenance account is growing.

    Think I'll stay rolling with this gig.
