Starting at Dutch Maid

there are a couple. i do know of one husband and wife team for sure that have there own truck and they get awesome miles mostly running west.

 

your welcome. they are good people. it is a small company. when you call in you do not give them a truck number. they know your name. they have lots of freight. the equipment is maintained. my cascadia has 500000 miles on it. you would'nt know it by looking at it though. they ask you in orientation if you are willing to go to new york city. i am on hometime now doing a 34 hour reset. was out 10 days previously. have been home thursday saturday, and sunday this week. a lot of the freight we haul goes near or through my house so that benifits me. i had not driven since 2008. came in and started at .40 cents per mile. i am happy so far.by the way i told them i would go to new york but prefer not to. i will go anywhere. i spent 30 hours in a trainer truck and got reaquainted with the newer equipment. trainer told them after first load he got the rust off and is ready.

 

they dont pay you to bypass scales. they do ask you to avoid tolls as much as possible. we do have ez pass but it is meant for if absolutely necessary work. i have not heard of overloading. only been here 3 weeks though.this week has been slow for me. only at 1500 and it is thursday.

 

getting better to end the week. should be at about 2600 by sunday. hauling nestle from indy to pittsburgh tonight.

 

thinkneck i will comment on my truck. it is a 2012 cascadia. it has apu,power inverter,sirius xm radio. and fridge. miles are typically so far for me between 2000 and 2800 a week.just finished this past week out at 2600 miles.

 

not allthe trucks are freightliners. i do know and have seen new volvo 670s coming in to yard.also still have some internationals left though they are phasing out and keeping a few for local drivers.
