    Welcome to yet another adventure!
    So far have been treated very well. Nice rental car. Two nice hotel rooms, one on the way and one for orientation. One day orientation and got my truck. It's a midroof cascadia. Not as many buzzers and bells as some.
    Got instant reimbursement for gas to get here and 1st of 3 $500 checks for orientation. Did I mention it was only 1 day and they're paying $1500 for it over 3 weeks? Didn't ask us to take a drive test. They said. ,"We already know you can drive!" I liked that.

    Had to wait a couple hours for trailer pm and without my asking they credited me $33 for the wait.

    They call your dispatcher a dispatcher instead of some kind of manger title and he seems to be on top of things. So far so good.

    Pretty generous I'd say. Gonna keep a positive attitude. All the drivers I spoke with there say they love the place.

    Subscribed!! I grew up and cut my teeth truckin around St. Louis, I never heard much bad about em. They always came off to me as “we hired you expecting you know what you’re doin” type company. Which sounds like your mold. Not many “here’s your bills, here’s you pills get it over the hills” type companies left. Hope you found a good one. Best of luck!

    Thank you. They do have "fuel solutions" because they're trying to control cost on that. So far I've only taken a couple loads this next one simply asks me to fill up at a specific loves on the way. I think they will be reasonable.

    Fuel solutions I can understand. Especially since I saw you don’t have a truck beeping and dinging and buzzing at you all day, so in my opinion that’s a fair trade off. I drove one of those trucks for 4 days and it’s only cuz I couldn’t turn it back in sooner. That #### will drive you nuts.
