One or two drivers pulling a set of empties to a new location is a far cry from the narrative that Truckload is now pulling pups, stealing money from Freight drivers, molesting children, kicking dogs and all the rest.
I'll say it again - We don't pull pups any more than the Freight guys work for Schneider. Yes, I once saw a Con-way Sterling pulling a fully labeled pumpkin trailer down the freeway. We haven't been told to get a 'T' endorsement. It has not been suggested that we get a 'T' endorsement. It has not been hinted that it might be kinda nice if we had a 'T' endorsement. Contrast this with hazmat (which I have on my license, as well as the 'T', but they don't know I have it). I was grandfathered in and not required to pull hazmat or Canada, so I don't pull hazmat or Canada. I get a "recommendation" at least once every week or two that I really ought to pull hazmat and Canada. You know, to make things better for myself and get more miles and such. I'm sure the day is coming when the suggestions will turn to requirements, but there hasn't even been a suggestion regarding the 'T'.
