    It most likely has something to do with where you live. Most of their MI freight is going to the NE.

    the Louisville Ladder I once knew is on Algonquin with limited space - once upon a time I would go there about packaging my company made for them.. I have no idea if they are still there. LL is a growing business. DuPont has a few places here. One is off of Bells Lane which is kinda near there. Algonquin is an old area. good luck. Be safe.

    It seems the northeast is a magnet for me too. Once you go in it is hard to get away.

    There was a USA truck that passed me the other day going about 70 mph on a flat road. 32xx. I need that truck.

    It won't be that fast much longer. ALL Company trucks are being turned backed down to 62. Doesn't matter about fuel economy anymore.

    I don't believe 1 mph can make so much a difference when the majority of mishaps are backing and close quarter maneuvering. It seems to me driver retention would solve many problems - financial, safety and quality.

    The Northeast is where the company makes their money,they get paid more for all the short haul up there,does not benefit the driver much if any

    Thats true and they also love to put the more experienced drivers on the short crap because they tend to be quicker and more efficient about things but they will never benefit any by sending me up there or giving me short loads because I will just slow down. The shorter the loads the slower I move. Im not hustling the crap in for nothing and they know it.
