Question:
Have had a good 2 weeks running since the extended orientation experience.
First week ran from home to Charlotte,NC then Anderson,SC to Carlisle,PA then Hershey,PA to Brattleboro,VT then Cumberland,RI to Carlisle,PA then Carlisle,PA (home for weekend) to Browns Summit,NC then Greensboro,NC to Cincinatti,OH then Louisville,KY to Greensboro,NC then Tar Heel,NC to Butler,PA then Cranberry,PA to Carlisle,PA then Carlisle,PA (to my time at home this weekend).....deliver to Browns Summit,NC on Monday between 8am to 4pm.
2300 paid mile first week.
2350 paid miles second week.
Decent miles for this slow time of year and have been home 48 hours+ each weekend, and have came by home 3 or 4 hours during each week on loads also.
Running northeast regional for Shaffer so far is going very well indeed.
Take care to all.

Answer:
Carlo I'm in truck 82348.
Just got home now this week was a little on the low end for miles but really only worked about 4 days:
Left home monday about noon, deliver Browns Summit,NC at 3pm....spend night at T/S, go back to Browns Summit tuesday am and pick up load for Seymour,IN (walmart), drop and hook there on wednesday morning then down to New Albany,IN to pick up load for Fogelsville,PA. drop and hook there on thursday morning, then go empty to yard in New Kingstown,PA to pick up short load to Jersey City,NJ for friday 10am live unload then about 5 miles down road to other warehouse to get load that delivers in Winchester,VA on tuesday morning.....but trying to get it done on monday (if snow and weather permits). So got home 10pm friday.....and here I am
Paid Miles.....only about 1,950.
Oh well the trucking life is ups and downs, but I'm being treated great

Answer:
hey tfg how is that ne regional? what is orintation like, roadtest, very seriously lookingg at shaffer and the ne regional

Answer:
The NE Regional Division covers:
Canada,ME,NH,VT,RI,CT,MA,NJ,NY,MD,DE,WV,VA,PA,NC,SC,OH,KY,TN (maybe a little of IN).
You get an extra .02 cents per mile if load picks up and delivers from PA and to the north and east (not canada).
New York City is optional but pays $75.00 to go in to 5 boroughs or long island.
You are guaranteed home at least 24 hours each weekend and depends most likely where you live....I am home 2 whole days each wknd and usually through house during week.
pay starts at .34 per mile (.37 per mile if have 4 or less jobs in last 5 years as long as have 5+ years exp.)
of course the .02 bonus is on top of that if in p/u and del. as i mentioned above.
medical,dental,vision,401k,prescriptions,life,disability,profit sharing....etc benefits
this is slowest time of year but im getting about 2200 miles weekly and thats in 5 or less days working.....i think good this time of year.
about 98 percent no touch freight. if you do unload they pay great....$35 just to pull off with pallet jack, $110 minimum if unload whole trailer and break down.
very good maintenance of equipment. several terminals (also all crete terminals....since they are parent company).
Orientation is 2 days (maybe bit more if drug test results take longer)...its in New Kingstown,PA. they put you in Holiday Inn and pay for your lunch and coupons for dinner in the motel. it has pool...dont forget your suit like i did depending where you live they will bus you or even rent you a car to drive up there.
equipment is all very good, 2000 or newer frtlnr centurys (mostly 2001 or newers). all trailers are newer and in great shape.
If you have any more questions just post it on here and ill help if i can....or just call my favorite recruiter a real great guy up there:
Craig: 1-800-669-1181
I am Greg Smith .....Truck #82348.
Hope you give it a shot, i dont think you will be disappointed. It is a reefer company, but from what ive seen and heard you dont sit real long at customers, and is lots of drop and hook.

Answer:
ooops forgot your other question: they give you a physical and road test (which is quite simple really....all trucks are straight 9 speeds), and a drug test.
