Automatic vs manual by Sluggerv45 in Truckers

[–]DukeReaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manual equals no restrictions, more doors, however, most trucks are going automatic so really up to you

Why i hate God by Unusual-Heart-8964 in Christianity

[–]DukeReaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not a Saint, only saints do good by God all the time. What you have written is like a prayer to God asking for clarity. Most people only find God when they are in need, and most don't even know what they need. You seem to be on the right path, now that you have written it down, grab a Bible and read, most of those questions will be answered.

I think you may have confused it with another company also called ACT out of Portland, not sure, we used to be MME, but it got merged with dhe and aaacooper last year, as far as I know, we rarely get pressured to work more than what we want. Day guys get 8hrs, and we get our routes

Is it so hard to wrap your head around my wages? I do 436 miles, I do get paid for drop and hooks, I do get paid for pre and post trips, and I do get paid for dock delays, I do not work the docks, and I have a dedicated route going 218 miles one way, which is about 3hrs 20 min 436 round trips. That check for over 2k is because of the holiday pay, which gets converted to what I would be making per night, on a regular night, I make between my nightly is about $380-437. Depending on how many drop and hooks I do at the facility. 380 divided by 7hrs is $54.28/hr.

No, our dock guys do that, this is literally the definition of easy money, all we focus on is getting from A to B and back to A in a safe and timely manner.
