Other than that I am done with all the pre-hire stuff. The drivers I met at the yard are a great bunch. Best thing - they all looked happy and LIKED THEIR JOBS.

I am feeling quite positive about this move. I am sick of driver's tests, and orientation programs.

I should have offered to pay for EXPEDITED shipping and analysis of my sample :wink:

While some terminals may be slow in handling certain things.... it is worth the wait and remember "Delayed Gratification" is far better than immediate gratification.....

thats why I wanna attend my own training but cant really afford to loose a few weeks with no pay due to car payment and insurance. But I wanna go to school on my own dime wait a few weeks and then apply. That way my mind will be fresh for the training with my TE and Schneider's orientation.[/quote]

well I wish you the best. I wish I could be more help but I am at a los

How ya' doin' Baby Bullseye?

I was wondering, what kind of engine & transmission does Carry spec in their trucks? Are they all Internationals?

Hope you've had a good profitable week.

Thanks for your replies.

A lot of empty miles (due in part to being from Canada, no doubt). He was under a load from ON, Longview, WA. Then he was headed to Central CA for orange juice back to ON. His current load from ON to Longview paid $3.00 per mile... I would look into food grade if I ever went back out long haul. I like no touch freight. But the little trucks is not cool. I'm 6'5" and it's bad times in a mid roof or smaller.

As long as we're posting pics of trucks:

Is that Canadian or US dollars? There is quite a difference in pay if you compare Canadian dollars to US. I don't know what the exchange rate is at this point but last time I checked $1. Canadian was equal to $.64 US. 8)

I had to pull this up from a 2005 post, OH how things have changed :o

Well our trucks are Internationals, as far as I know those are the fleet trucks if there are other types of trucks I am unawere of them. The engines are cummins. and I am clueless. We have the same trucks as Superior.

As for a profitable week I am running a load to Selah Wa. and then dropping the daycab and tank at portland Or. Every night in a hotel all line 4 time is paid, besides for little problems here and there it is a great week and should be very profitable.

I hope you have a lovely week. Have fun and be safe.
