no you get no choice, unless you live on the east coast and even then you get to choose either a Penski truck and run the east or a W/S truck and run everywhere.
Watkins Shepard trucks are Red
White or Brown Trucks are leased from Penski and only run east of the mississippi.
Anyother trucks you see with a W/S trailer is a O/O

the pay is the say as far as cpm goes, not sure on the miles, I would guess being able to do longer runs will get you more miles which would mean more $$, but the east coast guys do ALLOT of the furniture, and those $20 stops add up quick...so they probably make about the same.
I would ask to do the east coast in a nice shiny penski truck, but the East coast sucks to drive in a big truck, very little parking, tight roads, tolls, traffic, and the worst part FURNITURE!
I'll take beer/flour/and what ever else in the nice 70-80mph states out west with plenty of parking lol

Looks like the funding I was supposed to get fell through for the most part. It may end up being that I go through Prime's training which isn't all that bad, I guess.

My brother is going to start with knight soon I went to that thread and there wasn't much good said about them. Most seemed not to happy does anybody have any good info on them? They can't be as bad as what I read. I tried to talk him into talking with w/s but I'm his little bro so he wouldn't listen to me. Is this the place to ask? Should I go to a different thread?
