Profile For Amber W.

I'm looking for suggestions about which companies are the best for team drivers as far as pay and home time.

Honestly most of the big truck companies are the same. I work for one and they keep trying to tell me that their top rate of pay is .32 a mile. Ive been suckered too. Also if you are getting close to 3000 a week that is good. With this company I'm lucky to get 2000.

Can some one tell me what is a line haul deduction? My company just took over $200 from my check and labeled it "line haul deduction". Keep in mind I am a company driver not owner-operator.

Thanx so much! That was just what I needed. The bulkheads ropes on my trl were faulty. I knew it should have been simple!

I have just begun hauling refrigerated loads. I was given one demonstration on how to lift bulkhead doors and it seemed simple. However when I got to my stop I discovered that I did not know how to lift them correctly. I ended up having to tie and knot strings together and sometimes manually lifting the bulkhead so that the guys could unload the taller pallets. I have been looking all over the Internet for examples of how you lift them but have come up empty. Can someone explain to me how to lift them properly so that I don't make another fool of myself? Thanx :)

I've just begun hauling refrigerated loads. I was shown once how to lift bulkhead doors on a reefer, and it looked simple. However when I reached my stop I discovered I could not lift them correctly and ended up tying and knotting strings. Could someone tell me how to lift them properly so I don't make another fool out of myself? Thanx
