Well boys and girls, seems it's that time again-- Spring right around the corner, you've just made it through your first Winter perhaps it's time to pay back that cock-XXXking company that's given you your start in the industry, but non-the-less, has also been anal raping you all these months.

Is it time to hop, like the Easter bunny? I'm thinking so.....I'm on day 2 of setting on a load of paper 10 miles from the receiver-- the company wouldn't dream of letting me drop it at a yard--- they might have had trouble getting it "covered" by another driver--- seems that's all they do now-- is "cover" loads--no management of truck production--- this is called "zone dispatch" and I've felt this problem before ---

Name me a good company; while I run this application into the fax machine.

Are you still wanting to pull a reefer?

well, I was looking at KLLM as a possibility-- they offer me .43 cpm+ no hazmat requirement.

But, I'm not so sure I'd be as lucky with good driver friendly reefer freight there-- or for that matter It would be risky anywere-- I really believe I got pretty lucky with Shaffer in that reguard.

Also, not sure if KLLM will get me home ok without a struggle.

Currently, I'm putting another application in now with a Dry van carrier.

And A.D. Transport is a strong #2 possibility--- but only pays .41 cpm.
Same gamble with "hometime"

Did you have a Reefer suggestion for me to explore?

My "job seeking' radar is fully active right now?

God bless the job hoppers who help me pay for all my toys. Until the job hopper hops too many times and I can no longer find them any companies that will take them.

Running my arse off for the past month and change, but we do make a little less per mile than you guys do.

What are your needs as far as hometime??

If you have experience which I'm guessing you do why don't you try to get on with a private carrier ? Most of them rarely make you wait . I don't get the job hopping from one common carrier to another .

I don't think I'm anywhere close to reaching that point of "undesireable" stage.

14 years of current varifable experience, 4 common carriers total. Clean MVR.

So I take it your 48hr+ of babysitting their freight is uncompensated?

as much flex as I can get by with.

usually I stay out 18days- then 3 at home
or 21days- 3 at home
or 4 weeks- 4 days home
or 6 weeks- still only 4 days home( more than 4 days leaves me without a paycheck for over a week)

but the only way a carrier gets me to say out that long is by throwing the freight at me STEADY.

the bad news is -- the freight dries up when you're farthest from home.
