    Not gonna be very helpful but I was one of the many Pullen Bros drivers that quit when Lessors bought them out. The recruiter there has called me every month just about just to see how im doing. They seem like straight shooters. Good Luck ☝

    As @HalpinUout has tagged @joseph1135 since he works there, I'm sure he'll be along shortly. If not, maybe @Chinatown can offer some insight.

    *really really wanna tag more people but I'm stumped*

    Been here since 2007. New trucks. New trailers. APU and inverter on every truck. 68 mph, you're not babysat, insurance is crappy. You can make money here if you work and don't whine about going to California.

    Joseph nailed the most important stuff. You rarely sit. The last two times I've come back to work after being off, I've gotten a juice load out of Florida going to the northwest. The first time was by chance, the second time was by request. Obviously, had they not had one going that way, I would've taken whatever I could've gotten, but I lucked out. You never hear from them on the Qualcomm about anything unless something is wrong or they have a question. I would say if you're the kind of driver that likes long hauls, does their job, and doesn't like to spend much time on channel 19, you'll do well here. The outgoing jabber jaw types are in short supply here, thank god. If good insurance is important to you, this is not the company for you.

    That fits ME to a "T". Unfortunately, I don't have a supportive OTR wife, so for now, I just keep plugging along with my local work...

    Is there a point where these trucks will idle without shutting off? It's 13 degrees where I am and this KW still won't idle, and the heater on the APU is a joke.
