Transport National

@Gunner75 works for Transport National.

 

Nice family owned company to work for. I was there 6 1/2 years. The percentage you get (23-24%) seems low until you realize that they don't haul cheap outbound. Back hauls are usually broker freight unless you are near a place they haul out of or another terminal. At the end i was in the .75-.80 cpm range, hub miles. Winchester was mostly storage silo hauling with some other freight. The terminal manager, Jamie, is a straight shooter. I wouldnt say that they micromanage drivers, but they want things done a certain way. I only remember a couple payroll mix ups, but they were always settled on the next week's check. There certainly are worse places to work.

 

And let me add something else. If you want to be home by 5 every Friday night and leave at 8 Monday morning or if you aren't good at being fluid when it comes to plans changing then apply somewhere else. Too many drivers wanted to make the big money, but didn't want to put the work in.

 

It was the company truck I had until recently. 2002 Pete exhd heavy haul with a 550 Cat and 18 sp.
