    Yes get paid for every stop. Plus mileage. I will make over 1700 this week and I'll be home every night but Monday And Thursday. I usually only work 50 hrs a week never use all my 70. May not be a lot of money for some but for me it's more than enough and I'm home with my family and that's what's important to me. Stick hauling ain't for everyone but it's in my blood. There are even a few women here that do the LTL and there is one or two of em that work me under the table.
    Most stops are less than10 pieces too so 10 mins or less and you are gone. You just made 20

    Thanks for the info but just be a little patient with me. I'm new to this business and half the stuff u said I don't understand,sorry lol. I just spoke to them and I'm in jersey. So she said I'd be jersey to Carolina. Miles .32 and can't guarantee I'd be home for 34 reset. Not sure if it's because I'm new but it just sounds like a ####ty deal. Help?

    Yeah idk much about that area. I'm out of MS. I think I started at .33 a mile but I made stop pay. That don't sound like ltl stuff that sounds like that Home Depot dedicated they have. I'll answer all the questions I can for you. I just don't know much about other terminals cause I don't really go to any of them lol

    Ya she said Home Depot a lot and they can't guarantee home for 34. U think that means road time on end? I'm looking to get home. I'll quit in a hurry I don't care. But I'm trying to stay somewhere and get experience
