    Foodliner has an opening in the VT area. I'm thinking about it. Currently with Conway freight. Phenomenal wages but crappy company. Foodliner says 50-52 k a year. Is that bs? I assume pay is based on mileage....

    Working out of Baltimore..you will probably be doing Dry bulk.
    I'm sure they hire for liquid too but most of the drivers I know down there do bulk.

    As for VT,I haven't heard anything out of there though we do go to Ben & Jerry's in St Albans and Waterbury..sugar loads out of yonkers NY.
    Worcester Mass has a small terminal pulling out of cargil.

    As for pay you should be able to do 50K+ easily..most runs are flat rate(for regional) which pays better than mileage most of the time.

    No I don't know anything about Quest..I've pulled loads that were theirs.
    All Non Hazmat..even though I have my hazmat we can't pull most of their loads as foodliner doesn't have air compressors.
