Where is everyone?

Still polishing chain hooks at the house, got cheap seat tickets for Bush Gardens for the Hallowscream tonight. Zombies here I come!

 

No not with Mercer. These particular ones never hit the Load Boards or any brokers. I have hauled in and out of these places and only live 5 miles south of them. Usually when I load out during the week they ask if I want to run em. If I say no then they ask another local. Hope they never make a load board because the rate would probably drop alot.

 

okay. i was looking at some that was local moves between plants on saturdays on our board. paid on an.8hr basis and paid good but didnt sound as easy as what you said. i thought about it but decided against it but if were as you described i would be kicking myself in the rear

 

$8 hour???? the kid working at McDonalds makes that LOL

 

$8 per hour? Hope that was only driver's wages and I still wouldn't do that.

 

I don't know about anywhere else but these that I haul I pull from on company and go across the street to a different company. I pull a wagon so I throw my tarp when I arrive at the shipper and I load 1 42,000 coil throw a couple chains and pull across the road which total is 1/4 mile. The reciever is expecting me and gets me unloaded fast. I leave my tarp thrown over and book right back to reciever and do it over again. I run 5 loaded trips and after my 5th coil I reload at the reciever for my monday load and go home for the rest of my weekend and I am ready to roll for monday. If I could do these daily I would be all over them but they only run me once a month doing these as they are whats left that they don't want to waste a railcar on. If you found a place to do this and it was so close together like these then you should do pretty good.

 

no. the pay was based on an 8 hour day, not per load. i wouldnt get out of bed for $8/hr

 

I sure would hope no one would even drive a truck for $8hr.

 

guess im headed to burns harbor now, my company decided to not ship our new england freight until after the storm...

 

When you going to be out here???
