    Both want to send me to orientation. Tango pays one cent more per mile. Henderson has a bigger running area. That's about all I know about them. Henderson is reefer, Tango is dry box. Anybody have any input, comments, suggestions, recommendations, etc?

    Tango does a lot of business down in Houston. So if you want home time or spending breaks at the house. I would go with them. I've heard good and bad with both of them. Just depends on what you are looking for.

    Drove for Tango years ago. Spent a lot of time waiting for loads out of paper mills, waiting on empty trailers to come out of paper mills and waiting in long lines at paper mill whse to unload bales of recycle cardboard. International Paper was and probably still is their bread and butter. On the other hand, hauling refer freight out of cold storage into grocery whse isn't much better. Lots of waiting on both of those jobs. Henderson might have drop n hook customers though. Just never know.

    Right now nothing is more important to me than making money. I'm with celadon now and not making jack squat.

    Outa Austin, tango was only offering .34 a mile with 1 yr exp. hopefully for you they have bumped that up for the Houston area. For what it's worth Tango is on paper logs still if that helps any. i was seriously considering them, but ended up going with Texas Star/Epes outa Rockwall.
