    So enquiring minds want to know.. Does your current carrier or the one that has made an offer have driver facing cams too?

    Not much to report on today. We are supposed to talk friday about staying. I am giving them a few days to work out a psrking spot. I'm leaning on staying here, but not leaning too hard that way.

    The more I find out about the new position at my current carrier the more I am not interested. I still have to talk with my ops director in the morning, but I am probably going to go ahead and go with the other company. The other company is what I'd consider a small to med size company. I beleive they have between 80 and 100 power units hauling haz mat and non hazmat tanks. I called this morning and talked to the vp and let him know I would be coming over there in a couple weeks. Really does seem to be a "family" type of atmosphere. We will see.

    That's the kind of place I work for; smaller but big enough. Love it. Mi Familia atmosphere. And yes, tanks. Are you gonna be local? Regional? Dedicated? OTR? Hard telling with tanks; hauling asphalt I'm somewhere between dedicated and regional, and didn't have to pull too many OS/OD in the off-time (thank God, i've posted about that in a few places) as it's just not "for me.." and the United Precast yard I pulled from was a "fiasco" as another poster put it!
    What are you gonna BE hauling at your new gig? Asphalt is awesome, and yes its mostly non-haz, but not always, depending on the various products out of (or into) Shelly Company. Ever hear of them, up in Toledo at the port? They actually have a small fleet of drivers themselves, but broker/contract most out. Awesome company, but too far from home, for me! I love my new Sealy mattress too much to go back OTR, did my time back in the day, LoL!

    I will be regional out of Cincinnati terminal. The company is out of Toledo. K-ltd is the company. I dint know a lot about them. I looked on here but no one had info up. I may have to do a day by day review. It may be good to and maybe I will get some good input on things to help me out since this really will be my first taste of anything outside of OH KY IN MI. I have run for 16 years.

    Sounds like it might be a really good gig, and with your background, you can MAKE it be! Good luck, driver; keep us (me) posted. Day to day review would be cool, since they aren't on here (or anywhere.)
    I checked out their website, and it seems pretty impressive. Sometimes "no news is good news" . . . !
