at Colonial Freight Systems Inc. From what I have been able to find out about them they seem like a good company to work for. I have a friend who is a trucker that says they are a smaller company but they treat there drivers like people not numbers. They do not have dispatchers they have a computer system that we go into and chose our own loads to were we want to go. There trucks are Volvos 2006 or newer and come with a microwave and we can get a fridge of our own. Also they allow pets there only thing is if your pet eats the truck you pay for it. LOL

Thats good news. I'm glad you get to take the dog with you. It really does make a difference.

That really don't sound too bad, espically for a new driver wanting to get started with some perks to boot. I hope everything works out for you and remember keep us posted on your progress.
