I appreciate the posts guys. I love it when drivers share info. I ended up signing on with Old Dominion...just a question of timing I guess. When...
Got the call from OD that I will be starting in a couple of days. I'm glad to finally be starting out with them, but uneasy about the money I'll...
OD also has a truckload division which are presumabley 53' dry vans. Those are ran exclusively by team drivers. The city guys don't run many...
Today I completed the physical, road test, etc. The TM said my anticipated start date is 27 Aug. Sucks, but I guess I have to wait and haul some...
I've seen plenty of drivers who were plenty talented enough to be doing something else for a living. One thing I've noticed though, is that nobody...
That's sort of my point........not many people "chose" trucking. They (myself included), chose a particular set of circumstances that led down the...
I've just scanned the posts just like you. Based on that, I too have mixed feelings, but they were overall positive enough for me to put in an app...
Just heard back from OD today. Took them about 10 days to do my background check. The terminal manager called and asked me to come in for my...
Sounds like you might want Werner. They have a big terminal near 43rd and lower buckeye rd. Pretty much all of the large companies have a terminal...
I went in to speak with the TM today, seemed like a real nice guy. Anyway, it's looking good, I just have to wait now. I filled out a stack of...
I went to my local OD terminal last week to put in an application. The terminal manager called me today, and said he wants to see me in three days...
My only comment would be that during the second six months, I doubt they will get you 12,000 miles per month every time. That's going to be much...
Check craigslist.com and find the link for Houston. Under employment, find the link for "transport" jobs. I'm pretty sure you'll find something on...
I'm about to sign on with a local outfit here in NE Texas that delivers fuel to gas stations. I don't know anything about it, and was wondering if...
Brickman, thanks for being such a good sport about answering my questions. That is exactly the kind of information people need when they post an...
You mind filling me in on the crude oil thing? There is a little of that around here where I live now, and I'm seriously considering it. How many...
I'm thinking of signing on with Quality Carriers out of their Magnolia, AR. terminal. I have read the existing posts on here already, and would...
They have brand new Volvo's, with sleeper cabs. The newer ones have a Volvo engine, (not so good). They are set at 71 mph.
Okay, with no BS, everyone please reply with who they think has the highest average pay for a Company OTR driver. I know some people are going to...
I drove for FirstFleet for about 2 years altogether. I would still be there if family circumstances hadn't dictated that I move on. I lived in Las...
