    Just had some questions I have 1 year 8 months driving but none otr all local oilfield companies was leaning toward this due to the fact of all the features of the truck and seems like a descent place for starters in otr with that being said my question is how many miles these guys avg and what is the trucks governed out and do they have cameras in the truck also don't know anything about reefer and I know that's the main thing they do so just any info would be great about this company and no I'm not going to lease a truck I'm not that's stupid haha

    I was under the impression that trans am was lease only. Maybe I read it wrong. From what I've seen they have decent equipment and well equipped trucks

    Trucks governed at 62, and they do have cameras. Been to long since I've been there, to answer the mileage question.

    From what I understand, Trans Am trucks are all automatic transmissions. This may or may not be an influencing factor in your decision to work for the company.

    Good luck to you!
    God bless you and your family! God bless the U.S.A.!
     
    Dh46 Thanks this.

    i just left transam and can answer your questions. Have both company and lease drivers. Company drivers start out at 30CPM. Trucks are governed at 62 and do have cameras. I avg 2400 miles per week.
