thanks ovm!Im just new with them and worried a little.They seem to be good.I would have came to load 1 but they was not adding anymore vans on.So the next was here they have a new deal anything over 2000lbs you get a buck a mile plus fsc!So that drew me here.
Last week during the snow storm, got a 1700lb load of tractor parts out of New Holland to Texas,,good money on that one. I was a happy camper
You'll be ok. In fact by the time you read this you will have all ready dropped that load.

Um? whom told ya that? Larry or Ridgeway? They've had the 2000 lbs when I started there...and also anything over 10 ft I tink, pays the buck...You may want to check on the official length tho...I can't remember the exact inches....I know some of the extended can get 3 skids on if they are 40" pallets..
If the BOL doesn't say the weight ask the shipper....if he/she says it is over 2,000lbs ASK them to write it on the BOL and excuse yourself politely and CALL customer service and ask for the upcharge in price....DO NOT leave the dock without getting the upcharge or you will NOT get it...
and carry a money stick(tape measure)....

yep got out that day.Went down to indy,then went from ohio to 30 miles from the house in alabama.So far so good just hope they get me thoser 1200 to 1500 mile weeks with some of the higher paying loads
Good luck...they have soo many teams you'll not see a real long load unless no teams around...you'll be 300 mile' d to death...just ask Steady Eddie...
