    Its been good, just drive and drive hard, there will be slow times so dont expect 6000 miles every week. Good luck with your training and try to stickout the 8 months.

    I would like to know about the PA training center this is the one I and my man are looking at. Also I am new (obviously) to the industry and would like any advice on how to make this an easier transition for me.

    miles as a trainer sucks you will get 1 maybe 2 descent weeks of miles and after that its a whole lot of sitting

    I've ran and ran since I've been wit this company. Just over 7 months. I'm on a tier 1 truck which means we've had no lates and are a team that runs fast and dependable. We did over 7000 miles last week and our first load.this week is 2000. Only thing that blows is missing my family.

    yea thats the hard part is being away from home, i was a tier 2 team, our dispatcher said the only reason we werent tier 1 was cause of our exp, we never had a late load, hell we rescued loads. But night dispatch or weekend dispatch would get us into bad freight areas.

    Yep only been there a month figured out real quick night and weekend dispatch is a joke only time we really had to use them is when are pre planed air fright loads got canned at the last minute. It's funny but my wife and I talk more now that I'm on the road. than we did when we were both home.
