Reefer vs. Dryvan

Which terminal would you recommend? I heard Decatur is a crap hole...

 

LandStar if you own your truck and trailer.

 

I'm based outta Decatur. While the terminal is garbage.. Our Reefer DMs actually work with your can't say anything about the Dry side there with that being said. It's basically more of a personalized experience with the Reefer DMs there the Operations Manager used to be a driver if I recall correctly and she's always on the ball when it comes to watching out for the trucks in the fleet. My DM is awesome about keeping me rolling and so is my buddies. FYI I'm from AZ (but I picked Decatur)

 

Don't they require running their number and elogs?

 

I'm not 100% on what they require, however you can ask in the landstar section. I do know from looking into the company for myself that they do run Elogs hence the requirement of a 2000 or newer truck...

 

Hey Sham i appreciate the info buddy! It sounds like pretty good outfit. Better than our Jonestown terminal. Lol. I might give Decatur a call next week.

 

You'll make a little more in temp control but you'll have a lot of wait time ,4 am drops and no drop and hook

 

It helps to have a good working relationship with your DM.. This week SO FAR I've ran 3400 miles pulled a 34 while under a load and still have several days to run a few short loads to bump this check even higher. There is a possibility of me hitting 4250-5000 miles
