    Sounds like it would be 230 to 250. many of them are around 236 if I remember right. Without the Ex hood and large sleeper. 63 inch is plenty of room though if laid out well. Some company's do it well and others do not.
    I think I may be on the job hunt again. Too much wasted time here and with my wife not working summers we are low on funds. May have to bite the bullet and go full OTR again.

    Its a good thing you held out. I would have felt bad if you had went there and got screwed over because of me.
    If someone takes the plunge the responsibility is theirs and no one else's
    Good luck at your AT. Isn't nice to know that in a couple of weeks you'll be back home? Our motto in the Navy Reserves was, "We quit once, and we can quit again!"
    Seriously, thank you for your service and stay safe. Thanks for the new page....kinda like the town square, neutral territory as it were.

    Thank you for your service as well, I wanted to get a neutral thread going where everyone can come to talk about their companies, past present or future or our lives in general in the hopes we can learn from each others mistakes and sucesses to hopefully improve our lives and make it easier on others that are on or going to undertake similar paths without a company attached to the name of the thread and we appreciate all who have taken the time to read and/or been a part of all our threads and the hope is that this one will be a sucessfull as the others.

    Learn something new every time I have a problem. Picked up this tlr and found out pretty quick that it had an air leak in it. Got it down to a general area but don't think I would ever have found it. Its a fitting on top of 1 of the airbags. Hoping they don't have to replace it. Want a shower and need some zzzzzzz's.

    JJ, gonna conduct some training classes as your duty?

    Shitte I see they are dropping like flies on the Central thread....We all have to remember with most company driving jobs you are very expendable especially a training company when there are 60 new butts a week to fill your seat!!

    In saying that......Sorry to hear they canned you Bootlegger!

    I know.. Its freakin crazy.. I just had to get away.. I honestly kicked myself in the butt, since I leased on my 11th month.. But I'm a-okay.. Got hired over at anderson trucking(ats).. So I get to go to st.cloud mn on the 2nd.. So I kinda gotta stay there for a LONG time.. But I'm okay with that.. Centrals a great place to train.. Do 365 days.. And run over to greener fields.. I just can't see leasing from them.. The miles just aren't there as they need to be with a 1750mi break even.. I won't bad mouthem tho.. Never had a problem with getting my money or help.. Just no one could produce more than 2k or less a week.. But I'm at percentage with ats.. So I'm happy! I like jjs long nose too, it matches him well!!

    Well as for myself i cant say that i never never had a problem with getting money or help as both required miles to achieve them. I have been short changed out of layover, detention and my fuel surcharge, what i can say good about them is that they did have a good school and i got to meet alot of good fellow drivers. W9's and 379's are my thang but i am quite fond of my 379 it has a smoother ride in my opinion than a W9 but both are sweet rides.JJRanch.
