    Not bad, she got all of our orders right the first time and she was decent looking.

    I would be interested to hear more about you starting up with Oakley kc8yhk. You should start your own thread to share your experience as an owner/operator with Oakley.

    I had an entire novel typed out to start my own thread, then my browser crashed and I lost it all.

    I'm too angry to type it all back out lol so here, I entered my week into google maps and attached the image.

    my dispatcher has ran me until I only have 2 hours left of my 70. I got held up a little bit when I went to deliver in Robards Ky and that pissed me off because it made me miss my load taking me to Phoenix. Oh well it happens. I did get detention time out of it though.

    Overall I am still happy I came here. I have run into a lot of other Oakley drivers and they have all been very friendly and have only had good things to say about the company.

    I'm hoping that I get more miles next week. As I get through my 2nd week I'm sure I will have more to report back on.

    I still like it here. This week has been a little different for me though. I was told to drop my end dump and go rescue a pneumatic, then I was told to go load it in New Mexico, then go deliver it... and I don't have a blower lol. Got it delivered with the help of another Oakley driver, then dispatch told me to go ahead and run another round.

    I got good miles out of doing that. Luckily I'm soon heading back to get my dump trailer.

    Looks they have nice trailers but fairly new(5yr old or newer) truck requirements. I would think they're some exceptions for nice trucks
