    Not sure, I guess common carrier. We haul to all sorts of different places and customers.

    Thanks!







    Sorry for the long delay, been busy busy!

    I LOVE THIS JOB!!!

    I enjoy it so much, and been working like a dog. I'm glad to know we got tons of work, picking up new accounts left and right. Only have two days left in training. My trainer told me I surprised him, said he wasn't looking forward to training someone as young as me to haul fuel. After a few days of working he told me yesterday i surprised him with my work ethic and how quickly I'm picking up on doing the job.

    I was happy to hear him say that, that im not just some punk who thinks I know it all.

    I'm trying to get used to the automatic transmissions though, not a big fan although when driving in downtown Jacksonville they come in handy lol

    Will do, I won't have an assigned rig for a while, I'll be floating around since we have 43 drivers and 21 trucks. So I'll be floating between different trucks, whatever is available basically. When I do get assigned a truck I will post a pic.

    I like the disc brakes on our trucks and trailers, these things stop on a dime!

    Have them on a few trucks/trailers as well, they are great!

    Drty, what trucks are you running? We have Freightliner and Volvo autos, and there is no comparison between the two… Volvo is light years ahead of the Eaton Ultrashifts.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    Yeah they are amazing! The stopping distance is insane

    Yeah I bought her a diamond promise ring, we've been together a few months and I know she's going to be the one I marry. Now that I can make the money to buy her a ring she deserves when the time comes im happy about that!

    We have Freightliner Cascadias with the DD13 and autoshift and KW T660's with the Cummins ISX and Autoshift. Id love it if we got Mack's with the M-Drive only because I dont like volvo interiors lol. Of course I'll drive whatever makes me money! lol
