    I'm going to try to make this thread as simple as possible. I started today at southeast carriers. Day one. I'm going to log my journey with them as much as possible to help anyone else in their decision to join. Today was orientation. Was a full day of the normal stuff that most companies do. Got the keys to the truck. Have to say it's going to be one of the nicer trucks that I will be in. Meet allot of nice people. From office personal to drivers. Everyone gave a handshake and their name. Seems like everyone knows everyone by name. Seen slot of smiles and no frowns. Spoke to many drivers who say the same thing. Life is good at sec. Making good money too. Let's hope I can say the same.
    Stay tuned.
