I'm already on my second load. See my blog at http://mickeysheavyhaul.blogspot.com/....considering that at my previous carrier I've had four loads since December I'm feeling fairly optimistic.

I've been in the cream of the crop situation for coming up on 8 years now. Driving for what amounts to a private carrier, a bay window manufacturer in Manfield, OH, and I do one backhaul every other week. I'm paid by the hour and, except for the bi-weekly backhaul, I only carry their product. I've often wondered if the trucking industry would benefit by going to an hourly wage. I get paid for what's on lines 3 and 4. Seems like that would work for the industry, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, good luck and I hope it works out for you. Good luck to you and your move.
