    you drive for 11hrs
    you can work(not driving) up to 14hrs

    Depending on your shipper/reciever......you can be in and out within an hour, or depending on where you are in "line" or when they get to your load......you can wait hours, or even days

    your driving(11hrs)working(not driving 14hrs) and how long you wait at shippers/recievers are two totally different aspects......but they both play a vital part in each other.





    **(Someone with more experience please correct me if im wrong..)**

    Caught a cold while on the yard, so I have been sleeping, alot to get over it. And keep the wheels turning legally.

    I doubt that you could get a CAT engine on the lease, they are all more than 2 years old now.

    For the lumpers, There was no charge to me and stevens..they had to unload the product without the extra cash.

    LOL work your way up to 11 hours driving... You do that in the first week of over the road training.. the only time I get tired is when I am loading unloading, and working the 14 hours per day. Driving 10 to 11 hours is a joy.

    Most of my down time, I spend it on the internet, catching up talking with friends, then doing things like eating, sleeping, laundry, cleaning the truck... did I mention the internet :biggrin_255:

    I am headed up to Stevens on Monday to start my school. I have learned alot from you post TLeaHeart. I believe in aways going into things with a open mind and that is what i am taking with me. I am going because i have always wanted to see this great country. I Lost my son about 14 months ago and i have been looking for a change in my life i think this just might be the ticket.

    I tried looking on their website to see where all of their terminals were, but no luck. Maybe you could tell me, or at least where to look on their website? thanks

    One terminal, Dallas TX.
    One drop yard, Laredo TX, owned and operated by JO Alverez.
    Other than that, some customers that we drop trailers at, but we can not stay there.
