When I first started at UPS I did similar kind of unloading. We unloaded from drop frame trailers that had rollers in them. Then the shifter would jack the trailer all the way up so it would have an downhill incline to it. The rollers still didn't roll very well. Glad to see that everything seems to be going well. It's great to see Carter and you out together again. I bet he is really enjoying it as well as are you. Wishing you and the family all the best..... safe travel's 🙏 boyfriend.....👍🤙

If you are looking to maintain drive time to get back to the DC, we had a trick that you may know. I was taught to get to the unload location the night before and get as close to the setup spot as possible. In the morning you can finish setting up and then get unloaded without setting off your Elog. After unloaded, do your pretrip and head out. But, if it took you 2 or 3 hrs to get unloaded, you save that time. Some drivers go on duty when they start unloading

I've been watching your videos for about 2 weeks now because I was interested in the Roehl training program. I have been trying to figure out what part of KY you are from and just heard you say Mount Sterling. I'm in Winchester and have been to that truck stop many times. Thanks for all the videos and especially for not taking the scriptures out. Keep on trucking boys. God Bless

@MarcTavX it depends on where you are. Some places have no minimum. That's what I like about this company, the true-up pay. I was a regional driver for roehl transport and I worked 5 days and then off for 48 hours. I averaged around $900 a week, after taxes.

@bluegrassoutdoors8 күн бұрын
Is it us xpress? We had true up the whole time I was there, and they had it for many years. It used to be $2000. It was $1700 when I was there. I'm not positive if they schedule them Sunday, but I believe so because they told me they expected us to be able to work 7 days of the week and still have our 34 reset. So they wanted us to be able to work any day of the week that our reset wasn't on. And that could change from week to week

The number of stops, trailer loads, and miles. They have something called true-up, where you make $1700 a week minimun(before taxes) as long as you are on time to your stops.
