    That was where I worked when joined
    this forum.

    And that was a fact.
    But I've been gone about 4 years now so maybe
    Things have changed but I doubt it.

    To much sitting with the reefer,
    To many short loads with the flatbed.
    They ran those dry vans coast to coast
    non stop.

    Lot of drop and hooks and drop yards
    All over the place.
    Van drivers always ran the most miles
    when I was there.

    But like I said,things may have changed.

    Well I won’t argue that van gets the highest miles but they also get the lowest pay... soo I imagine it balances out depending on the driver.

    Setting Barstow sainting to deliver. Did some Q&A with weekend dispatch on California and was quit happy with the honesty in which how things were handled. Tomorrow will show weather my dispatcher holds to her word. Truck is running great... it is a Pete lol. She really chugs up these mountains been pretty heavy the whole way. Truck has the newish x15 performance series with a 18 behind her. Getting lil better than 6 mpg weight 77.5k and that’s from Cheyenne to Winslow AZ. Need to do some research on the motor break in times. Maybe do some research on here... till next time

    Got my first run to Dodge City, KS to Ft. Worth, TX. Need to stop by the house. so taking this short load to do it. Need to also swing back to the yard. My speed is set at 64/66 when it should be 67/70. So far the atmosphere here seems nice. Lets see after 60-90 days.

    I read some pretty horrible things about WFX online. I was going to take a pass, but decided that I needed to do more research.

    Amy has called when she said she would. I applied here for lease side. I have 21 months experience and have had my share of nonsense.

    I'm setup for December 3rd. I have found that every company has their issues, so you kinda have to get out there and run hard.

    Seems like the money is pretty good, but we shall see.

    Are you on the dry van side if so how are you running ? OTR, regional, etc.

    -They advertise various accounts well the third party site does I’m still waiting on a recruiter to prove such things true... regional, dedicated southeast regional “3 state regional” Which is what caught my eye.... etc etc

    I'm reefer so 48 states. They do have the 3 states but you wont only run that 100% of time. From what i understand you will run outside of your lane about 5-10% of the time. Its about what they need moved. But its usually out and back. You don't have to accept it. Just got to give them a reason why.
