now i like this

Sounds like your happy to have made the change skibum. I'm happier at my new job as well, i was the only person in orientation and it only took 2 days to get through it, i met everybody from the top on down my first day and they only have around 20 people total in the office(this includes all shifts) and all dispatching is done by e-mail or cell phone so no qualcoms, and the money is great, get paid very well for local and the milage pay is much better. They don't even bother with drivers who have had to many jobs in to short of a time frame so they really try to find drivers with a history of staying were they are for the long run, the average driver has more then a decade here and many are over 20 years so i feel fortunate to have gotten in the door. They have about 120 trucks half and half with company and o/o so that works out good as well, i feel my patience has paid off.

 

Does hollend hire in ny

 

hey skibum, Was wandering how you were doing. How did you get up to fargo? Grey dog? I finally got a good load from Idaho to n.c. 2,500 miles, but Im gonna try to swap it so I can get home to cali.

 

I got rid of the load to n.c. Now im deadheading from SLC a total of 650 miles to get a load that goes to casa grande. Now Ive deadheaded 350 mi before, but 650? Anyhow after unload, Im going to tolleson for a load to northern cali, then on to H.T. You guys homesick yet? he,he,he.

 

Hell these guys deadheaded me from Tampa, FL to Marshalltown, IA some years ago...about 1300 miles to pick up a 2 stopper in louisiana. Nothing like a roadtrip.

 

Now that has to be the king of all deadheads.

 

deadheaded from florida to california, more than a few times !!!!!

but NOT with your company.........

 

Totally irrelevant in a Marten thread but Barr-Nunn had me bobtail from Atlanta to Wilkes-Barre,PA to dead head to Burlington,Ia where I loaded a load to Rock Island, IL

Never understood it.
