W/S will let you take the truck home... if you run flatbed
Also, from what I remember W/S had a better bonus structure.. up to $0.04/mi on ALL miles for fuel eff, etc. I think May was $0.03/mi on miles only over the 10k mark in a month

a few updates for the ttr w/s family...
first, as for taking the trucks home... new policy...
now, as long as you live NEAR a MAJOR city and have a SAFE SECURE place to park the truck you can take the truck home with you, understand the SAFE AND SECURE, that does not mean a truck stop, that does not mean a rest area, that does not mean a wal-mart, that does not mean a mall parking lot, that mean exactly what i said, SAFE**AND**SECURE...and youll need to provide proof of such location to the company....
also, again, like i said, if you live close to any MAJOR city, you can now apply for a driving position at the company.... -
So....I live in Charlotte are you saying that I can now take my truck home????? If so who do I show proof of a safe location too? And I'm guessing you mean bobtail home right?
American Trucker -
Looks like bobtailing home is the only way. Crap. Well, that's still a nice policy, ya know?
-
I would think in some cases they would probably want you to have a trailer, in case you had to go load in the opposite direction of the terminal.. but I haven't heard about the policy personally
-
So...........these trucks you guys get into, how do ya' all like them when you get one? When you get that that truck, how's it expected to be maintained, cleaned when it's on the road so darn much?
Thanks.
Mike -
not for us in NC, anything going out from NC origionates from Conover. So no need for a trailer. I was asking because if your bobtailing you can go on line 1 instead of wasteing your hours...
American Trucker -
its your truck, if you want to live in a mess go for it lol. I cant stand haveing my truck all dirty and full of crap. But in the winter I wasnt wasteing $$ on truck washes just for it to be covered in salt 5 minutes later.
American Trucker -
AT, will alot of truck stops have cleaning facility's to utilize? Washing, vacuuming etc...
