Hey Bigman I just started last week with BN and going OTR. I finished orientation on Thursday and had a load to Illinois and then they routed me home to get my truck loaded with my things. I do have a load for Monday already and hope they keep me moving. I expected to by off this weekend because of the holiday,it probably is slow. Where are you from, I live in Wi. and they say there is alot of freight out of here a prime spot . I hope this is true. I know my last company had alot out of here too. I worked at my last company almost 2 years, left because their trucks were constantly breaking down, insurance was 600. a month for my wife and I. I was given a truck from BN a 07 with 430,000 miles, I hope they do repace at what 500,000, at least thats what I was told. How is the company otherwise? I did read alot of bad but there is no perfect company. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello Mr.Don, I am driving for B.N.T. also. They replaced my first truck with a new ProStar alot sooner "18,000 mi."than I thought they would. This outfit gets you home if thats what you want. A word of caution be safe the police in Indiana are very strict.

How do you like the new sensor in your truck that prevents idling between 45 degrees and 77 degrees? All the trucks numbered 2201 and up have them.

Hired on Nov. 2010. At the time they had 1000 sign-on bonus that was reduced to 500 when I came on, which was a red flag, since no one offers signing bonus anymore. As another post stated things go fine for 2 months and then down hill. I was hired as OTR which wasn't the case, but it went well for 2 months. I unofficially was a Midwest expedited driver. This works great if u live in Columbus or Cincinnati OH areas or even N CHI or S. WI near I94. If a driver lives in these areas, U can probably sneak home but bad for E. Coast drivers they recruit in Charlotte, NC. Seems they got me to these areas IMMEDIATELY after time at home and I ran FedEx, DHL, and Whirlpool back and forth between the cities listed earlier. The miles are low (200-350mi runs) and most of the loads pick up midnight-2am and delivers 5-6 hours later. Then u sit all day to load at the same hours.
