Hey guys, how close do you need to live to a terminal? I dont mind being gone for the week but would like a few days off on the weekend or be gone on the weekend and off during the week. Dosnt matter to me either way. Ultimately I would like a local job and to live like a human being for a change.

 

I dont think theres really a mileage limit. I know some people that live over 150 miles from their terminal. Just have to be willing to drive. I couldnt do it, I know after driving all day I dont even want to drive the 30 mins home.

 

How long are you gone? If I was going out for a 4-5 days and coming home for my time off that wouldnt be too bad

 

I was running a day cab, so I was home everyday. Ive just moved into a sleeper but Ill only be out one night maybe two times a week at this point. Superior is good at getting you home when your in the system. 5-7 usually unless you feel like you want to keep going.

 

Don't know if I should say here anything or not, but I will anyway!!

I just found out today (this afternoon) that the outfit I am leased to has lost the Exxon account...to Superior Carriers and 3 others. Superior is supposed to get 50% according to my unhappy terminal manager.

Don't know how much Superior gets for sure...but if it is true (I read the company alert), you all are about to get seriously (maybe--sorta) busy out of Houston, Baton Rouge and NJ.

Quality Carriers got Los Angeles(they already had that).

:tears::tears::tears:

Exxon is all I have hauled since Thanksgiving...and Superior went in and under bid us.


Don't drop the ball boys....Miller will pick it back up for you.


Wait....go ahead...drop that ball!!

:moon::moon::moon::moon:

 

That sounds like it should help. Last time I was in Pasadena at the terminal there were so many drivers waiting for loads the company hotel was full. They finally sent me to Sulfer La after sitting for a day and a half.

 

U are leased to miller I assume....
We are about to take a account from qc in Memphis with 93 lanes so the future looks bright

Sorry to hear of your companies business loss but we are rivals I guess business wise. So our gain. is exon a good account ?

 

Superior under bid QC for hauling the DuPont account??? That is unbelieveable.

The Exxon account is not blazing money...it is steady though.

 

Future looks bright?

Yeah under cutting rates that already are in the tank, sure can tell who the company drivers are.

 

Thanks

All indications I have heard is yes , on the QC thing but it is still in the talks getting equipment etc.. but from what I have heard should be done soon .. but from what I heard the other day wont be getting all 93 lanes but bid on about 60% of the business.

This is here say so far but heard management throwing it around a little also .

we'll see ?
