    Nope. Just a myth. Only scale is the truck scale. It is surprisingly accurate around 215, though.

    I was kidding, but remember reading something about scales for the driver

    They were on my list when I was looking a few years ago.

    But also told me I'm out of their Hiring Area.
    I live 60-70ml south of KCMO.

    After CRE, everything looks great - talking from experience. You have a medium job - there is better. Still, a medium job in trucking is a pretty good job; I think this is a good industry to work in.
    Joliet? I can get you on at $1200/week guaranteed for about 45 hrs/week and about 2000 miles. That is about 60 cpm or $26/hr. PM me - I'll take the $500 referral bonus without a milligram of shame.

    The company has always had a good reputation for as long as I've been in the industry.
    I too had inquired about driving for them in the past, and they were honest enough to tell me based on 'Domicile' they DO occasionally get loads to my area---but pretty much want drivers in Iowa to live near I-80 to get them home regularly. They left it up to me, with the understanding that "home time" would be a 'given', but not regular. So I passed. I appreciate their honesty.

    As far as the fairings on the trailers extending past the tires? I think that is ridiculous. I like to see my tires in the mirrors. And don't get me started on those stupid "Trailer Tail's".

    I always thought their full trailer skirts looked sleek and modern. I could see them becoming a nuisance though, doing pre trips and sliding tandems and such. I did see a flatbed sitting in the yard there on 39 yesterday that had full skirts as well, that was kinda weird.

    I installed it myself. The wiring adapter is from a mid 90's VW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes. Best Buy had it in stock. Sorry, but I don't have the item number handy. It was pretty easy to install. Just had to remove the brake knobs and take all of the dash pieces loose (all T-25 Torx.)
