    So I take it you're the guy I met when I stopped in a couple weeks ago at the DB shop?
    Just got work I was approved on both sides. Started reading through all the feedback on here about both DB and QC... I gotta admit, I'm worried a bit.
    Ill be leaving a good company with a good L/P Im already in, but it was one of those "this is what we got" deals and I'm not crazy about paying for something I do not want in the end... and I'm sick of pulling Reefers... I have done tank work as a company driver and enjoyed it, but the money wasnt there. I do pretty #### good where I I am, I just want something different from door swinging.
    I'll be doing some hard thinking....
     
    hey_serg Thanks this.

    If you were only offered a "this is what we got, take it or leave it" deal, walk away. If it's not what you truly want, you'll regret your decision for a long time. There are plenty of good used trucks on the market, if you want to get into tanking, but a solid used truck and make the jump, but at least this way if you don't like the company, you and the truck can leave.

    Have to agree with @ChicagoJohn here brother. If you're approved and want to go DB wait til you get a truck you want or tell Dave and Dan to build you a truck - don't take it or leave it twice.
    QC also has the Keys to Quality and they have some nice trucks available.
    Buy a truck out right and move it if you need to when you need to. If you got financially approved, it was most likely through ENGs Financial. Check their website for used trucks also. QC does not finance trucks or own a financial institution, and they have been using ENGs a lot lately.
    I absolutely love pulling a tank and really like working at QC, so if I can help let me know.

    Sorry to ask this but what website? DB or Keys to Quality?

    I visited Keys to quality website, but I didn't found the used trucks section.

    DB's website isn't updated regularly - you have to call them.
    Keys to Quality has a contact tab - I believe. That list is updated regularly, but you have to get it from Jessica Fernandez. There are no pictures.
     
    Speed_Drums and 88 Alpha Thank this.

    Don't forget the part about IC's having average 6.5 mpg to get the fully discounted fuel price.
