    Do you have to give them so many hours before your detention time starts? And is it still 30 per hour?

    Well I never ended up going last year I didn't get the financing on the truck I was trying to purchase at the time so I had to back out. . I did decide to get a truck with chucks LP through HEC leasing company. Put my deposit down a week ago and they are getting the truck ready. They say it will be another 2 weeks or so before it's ready then I'll be coming over. I'll keep you all updated!

    I.ve bought four trucks through hec ....inspevt everything very carefully and make sure the apu works in every day before you leave (they are expensive to fix) ....issues I've had early more then one unit was turbo's ...apu issues and roof/winshoeld leaks ....they do fix it when you find it early they are expensive when trucks are cheap and fair when truck prices are high

    Well there is no APU on the truck unfortunately but they are offering a 250k mile factory warranty on these 2016 Pete's so I figured I would jump on that. Hope it was a good decision and I'm going with the right company. I've been a little worried I'm not going to be able to make enough money here after reading some reviews but I went ahead and pulled the trigger anyway. Are your drivers still getting plenty of miles and cash here?

    Well I've been here for 4 months now I've given it time but you can't make much money here in currently looking for something else. Unfortunately I wish I had listened to the previous guy that left he was right. You will sit for hours and even days waiting on loads. The pay is good if you could get the miles but I just can't get the miles. Like today for example I unload at 0700 am and they send my next load to pick up 30 minutes away but the appt is for midnight to pick up. Wtf I think it's just poor planning so I lost the ENTIRE day for running and no detention because it has an appointment for midnight. I've been averaging 15 to 1800 miles per week. Like I said the money would be great if you could get the miles but not everybody gets them so I'm looking for a new job. Who's hiring? Lol

    Troy is my dispatch. I've tried everything in 4 months trust me I've stayed out for 2 to 3 I've stayed out 2 . Now I just go home on the weekends because when I stay out they will leave me sitting most of the weekend so what's the point. Even when I stay out I get maybe 1800 miles. I'm sorry to vent on here but I'm kind of over it. I'm going to start looking elsewhere

    I don't know maybe I'll give it 2 more months . He just sent me my next load today 500 miles to deliver on Friday. 2 days 500 miles. I'll finish the week at about 1900 this week. Like I said I'll give it 2 more months then I'm out.
