    Length of haul could be anywhere from 150-3000...150 mile runs usually just get you to where you can pick up a long one...just have to call your dispatcher every day...I did local work in KC last week coz they didn't have anything for me...scored 14.75 hours at $40/hr moving empty trailers around.

    Wichita Kansas I would rather hear from drivers than recruiting though they are pretty straightforward....
    What's at the yard now do you know??

    I feel ya...yeah they don't BS...they're very transparent, which is what I really like..I was at the yard 2 weeks ago and I am there very often but I hardly see an empty 780 in KC

    But they can get them? Hate to pay for something that I wouldn't want to own eventually.... Average miles per week?
    Health insurance for lease drivers?

    Yeah, if that's what you want they will get it for you. they'll put you in a truck to use until then. I'm getting 2200-3000 sometimes more a week and I'm on Variable payments...you have to buy your own health insurance coz you will be considered a contractor and not an employee

    Like a cobra plan? Are you doing that single or family?? They are offering sign on and no payments for six weeks... They run out west much or mainly Midwest?

    I haven't bought any health insurance and rather pay the penalty coz I'm single and no kids..yeah the "no payments for six weeks" thing is new...I didn't get that lol..they run all 48 and Canada (if you want and can)..it's all up to you...gotta let your dispatcher know what's up

    Sign on bonus I believe was $1000 when I started...$450 up front on the first settlement then the rest paid out every settlement in $100 increments

    Yup bonus now is 1500$ and six weeks no payments which could be good considering I'm probably going too have to wait for a 780....
    Governed at? The Volvo I had before was wide open but with the XE package I averaged 8.4/8.8 miles per gallon.... had them put on Airtabs also.... just all around a great truck.
    My mother passed in February and I just want to be back on the road... He might be a little hesitant because I didn't accept their offer before....
