I transferred out of PHX in 06. I'm in PDX. Brother try to look for a break bulk terminal. We run East, North and South. You of course would be on the extra board, but with a break bulk you move up fast. Our shortest run is Seattle with the longer runs being MEO and Klamath Falls. Bid is annually by seniority. Out of PDX, both 84 and 5 are triples lanes. You get .02 more a mile plus the extra drops and hooks. You have to be certified though. This is a great time to start asking. Most of the extra board is being turned in 10 and covering vacations. Winter you'll probably be doing a bag run to Boise. Any questions, let me know. And yes some tractors are turned up. It depends on the run and state speed limit. None of ours are though, it's 55 in Oregon.
Denver is break bulk. PDX is, SLC, SAC all are. Break bulk, is where freight comes in on break trailers and is swung onto direct relays to final destination or swung on other breaks. Yes 2 to 3 is a good time range. Yes night runs on extra board. Don't believe everything that you hear from everyone. I wait due to my bid. No meet partner, no real gate, a lot of turning in 10. We have a excellent dispatcher that knows how to run freight.What is considered a break bulk terminal or I guess what difference is between versions? Most guys I've been saying expect probably 2-3 years on extra board. Even then might be a night bid or always looking to work the 6th to make up miles. Mileage hasn't been a issue extra board so far out of Denver. But sounds like some places you spend more time sitting or just doing low mile runs for a while.

I think he was escorted out of the pool. Never worked under him.What did you ever do to that game people play in the pool Marco Polo to make him go away? Wink
Haven't seen that dispatcher in years.
Was wondering if there is any info on different centers,runs available for that location/miles per run? Considering most freight moves east to west, would a location like Seattle be limited on potential? Currently out of Denver and have all 4 directions of travel. She is in Arizona but hates the summer heat, I wouldn't mind a dry climate lol. Just comparing areas with my girlfriend so whenever I can transfer we pick the best location for us to live in.

Its 65 on the west side! That's the better side anyways!
Wrong. Oregon is 55 on the west and 65 on the East but all of our drivers still do 65 on both sides.
That is correct Billy, I hate to admit I was corrected by you but I did a typo.
Plus I heard you can text on the east side too....Wrong. Oregon is 55 on the west and 65 on the East but all of our drivers still do 65 on both sides.
