    I got 4 deliveries to make in the morning then I get to go home. I hate multiple stop loads. The reason they do it if because the warehouse/stores are to small to store a full truck load. Meaning its going to be a bitch to back up into their little warehouses for me!

    Do you help unload the truck or is that up to the employees of the company you are delivering to?

    No we don't touch the freight at all. Most places we go to they dont even let you get close to the docs. They make you to stay in your truck.

    Not really. Usually just one stop or drop and hook.

    At least you are not having to pay a lumper to unload it.

    We pay at HEB every other load. Doesn't come out of my pocket but still sucks to pay someone 300 bucks to unload you.

    I hear you that. I work for a factoring company and so many clients pay lumper fees and then get reimbursed when their invoice is paid.

    To everyone on here that has done the "college thing" - it is worth it right??? Between working a full time job (plus some) and my online classes I'm almost a zombie.

    I'm using my Post 9/11 GI Bill. It covers everything related to my college expenses and pays the school direct. I do not have to deal with any loans this way. Overall I'm sure it will be worth it; it is just hard to see that when I'm spending as much time on school work as I do work work. Only a couple more years I think. I probably need to recheck my hours again.
