    Truthin ?
    Thanks for your thread, do you work from Columbus, & how does that work for you, do they generate enough freight to keep you busy ?

    LOL at all the nay sayers. Ive got an ex student of mine that works for Heartland, he did 52k last year and hes a slacker. Thinking about going there myself but ive got a job or 2 too many on the record atm. But thats cool since Im making 800-1500 weekly as USX believe it or not. But im a trainer, I like looking deathin the face LOL. Well not really but its a living right.

    Giants, there are drivers that leave after 4 months like you did. Heck, there are people that don't even make it out of orientation. But there are far more who have been around for 10, 15, 20, even 30 years with this company. That is a fact because I meet them all the time. So you have some that it wasn't for them and think it sucks, good for you, hope you found what you wanted.

    Once you get running if you do system, I can help you out with how the Heartland system works and how to get miles. Living in Indiana they have so much freight going through there its crazy. Can keep up to date on your progress each week and how things are going. Chrome has a lot of good advice too.

    I was kind of curious how CSA is affecting other drivers or companies. am hearing that some shippers are starting to not use carriers with bad CSA scores due to liability. does anyone have any experience or heard anything about this?
