sit 2 days, get a good load, linehaul $6600 for 2100 miles, get it delivered, sit 2 days, they decide there are no loads in the area, deadhead 1000 miles to get a load, meanwhile ALL fuel comes out of this settlement even though the load doesnt pay until next settlement.
dont worry about me, I got an offer on the table for a gig I know is good, I just have to bide my time for 3 weeks

Right about Heniff.

C C Cob if you like pumping resins and long long clean outs...........did I say long?

Transwood, rate cutters, you guys at Miller should know that...........LOL

Dart?..........your kidding right? Unless you mean the Dart trucking hazmat hauler out of ohio, saw there list of what YOU have to pay for..........no thanks

Forward Air, only the guys who have been there a while make money, nothing like waiting for that last shipment, that arrives late and then driving all night too make the plane.

Right now we are real busy at Dana, don't really understand why, it is usually SLOW this time of year.

Heard lots of stories about QC over the years, seems sone do very well, but overall most don't, some say it depends on which terminal you work out of.

It's pretty sad around here...I tell ya. I deadheaded back to Beaumont from Brampton because of the old "We don't got freight for 3-holers" line of bs. They can send the damn thing out....but not re-load it.


Dana is just as hit and miss as we are....aren't they? Business there....but not over here??

As far as Transwood...I don't know....all I do know is that they have DuPont in Chattanoga.....like ya'al have DuPont at Nitro.

QC hauls a lot out of Dupont in Chattanooga, Dana called me last Monday with an offer, but I think I have a better place to go, just have to wait 3 weeks until they are ready for me
that gives me time to see if this place might work out

If you don't stray too far from a terminal, reloading is always pretty much gauranteed, as far as 3 holers, I have reloaded them once or twice, our out bound starts at 3.65 pm for those, usually it covers the round trip, not great mind you, but borderline.

Remember the biggest thing about reloading the compartments is the washout, this is where it works for us, because of our tank washes, most companies won't spend the money.

Fredog, if you were talking about Dana Charlotte, lots of complainers there, seems there are the "chosen few" and then everyone else.
