Werner has a nice dedicated account I'd like to get on (already called - it's full). It's hauling glass out of Bridgeport, WV. That place is only about 20 miles from my house. Also, my company used to have that account. Now we broker them off of Werner, just not as many as we used to run.

yea did some beer runs for awhile filling in for a driver who was on vacation. Not a bad gig but always heavy and it seemed to take forever to get unloaded once you got to a distribution dealer

was a good account to be on...2500-3000 miles a week......and it also depends what DC or Wholesaler you went to, longest time ive waited was 7hrs, but that was because the computers were down and they couldnt load me into their system heh..but the fastest i've been unloaded is about 20 minutes...usually in Granite City, IL...

Yea had a good time driving for big blue and thinking about bringing a couple of trucks on with them if I found the right drivers. But alot of people dont like the electronic log but I never had a problem with it. atleast you always knew you were legal. The account you are on now I never heard of that one. What is it?

I have been gone from big blue a couple of years but orientation use to be just taking your physical, sitting through a couple of days of training and learning how to use the qualcom. Oridinaryguy still works for them so i am sure he has more up to date info

Who do you work for now bigpapa7272
