[QUOTE="gregmilam, post: 294133, member: 11736"] Since I posted this thread, I have been fortunate enough to run road runs about 3 to 4 days per week. I made sure that I got road certified before the slow season, and apparently I am the only new guy who did this. Guys are still sitting at home, and the only reason I have work is because of my ability to do road work. I am titled a city driver at the Detroit terminal in Romulus, Michigan. Supposedly, Chrysler is going to give us work that will generate 300-400 more bills per day, which in turn would put more guys back to work. I like the road better, and hopefully when the bid comes up, I get an actual spot on the road, regardless of it being an extra board run. My stable has already done it's card signing, and we have more than enough, so it's in the works at local 299 now. Hopefully, '08 will be a break out year for the freight guys. The only question is, I am originally from West Virginia, and I want to transfer to Charleston (Nitro), and all I have heard is that terminal is basically all but dead, and there's no work for those guys. :censored::censored::censored::censored:. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
