Is that why the tractors are base plated in Oregon? I wondered why a NM company with their headquarters in Texas would base plate in Oregon of all places. Makes sense now..
I tried to get hired on after my cdl refresher but was told they only hired refreshers from THEIR school and when I got a year OTR in to give them a call. Yeah and take a paycut? No thanks.
I grew up in Las Cruces, NM and remember when the LC terminal was their home, now its just a drop yard for the local drivers and everything else is at the terminal on the east side of EPT. They used to have a nice daycab Pete 359 that ran trailers between El Paso and Las Cruces back in the day.
As for the racing, I think Royal pays for that himself. His hobby I guess you could say.

I drove for MVT and the Money Was Great.
- Don't expect to get any bonus money, because they are creative in screwing you out of it.
- Don't expect to get home when you need to. (I personally stayed out 3-4 weeks each trip)
- Expect them to start calling you to leave early from your home time.
- Expect to run a couple of log books....and pay $5 for each book & it's the only log sheets safety will accept. (They do give you 1 free a month)
- Expect if you're not Mexican or fluent in Spanish to be looked at and treated like an ugly dog off the chain....until you get to the shipper or consignee, then you'll hear, "Hey we're surprised you're not a Mexican."
- Expect them not to properly plan loads & then get you to run like a scalded dog to make what should be a impossible delivery.
- Expect to live life, not sleeping.
- Expect most loads will be lite
- Expect to buy a couple of showers a week as the truck set-up helps getting INCREDIBLE MPG's & filling daily is a thing of the past! I'd get on avg. 1800+ miles before fills....CRAZY but TRUE!
When issued a truck, WRITE DOWN EVERY DEFECT inside & out of truck. (Scratches, drill holes, chips, EVERYTHING!) You'll see THEY document everything every time you go through safety....that's anytime you arrive at a terminal.
Other than that, hey they're a trucking company & you're truckin'.
Good luck, but I wouldn't EVER consider them unless I could have back my original FM, David...and that'd be a stretch! My last FM was Juan, and he literally was a huge, 400 pounder, POS. At 1st sight meeting him I thought "yea he's an ex-driver, he knows what it's like on my side of the dispatch....NOT! -

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too. But that has nothing to do with your attempts to get a racial war going on the forum. -
