    I haven’t yet. I’m still waiting to find out about a sleeper position with Gemini. Those long-nose Pete’s at Dynamic look inviting though.

    I live across the street from their facility, so I looked into them, their pay is absolutely horrible.

    Yes they have taken the mantal away from Swift ... Swift is a high quality company next to the disaster known as Prime

    Prime has nicer looking trucks though.

    Prime is definitely the living in the truck lifestyle. By the time you pay for over inflated truck flease payments you will be eating taders and wearing old clothes. But you will have a truck to live in until you miss a payment.

    Must be tired of the micro managing at Loves or first choice allocation or too many cam incidents..Gemini isn’t perfect but it’s solid ..think about it before you jump ..oh and one more think you do realize they have a no rehire policy in their fine print.

    Holland Enterprises- Mapleton ND.
    You could live comfortably out of their trucks. Fridge, inverter, TV, Direct TV, Siriusxm, APU. 68mph trucks with smart pass. Can fuel at loves now, used to be pilot/fj only. I think their base pay is at .57cpm right now.
    Maintenence is AMAZING. Fresh Michelins on truck/trailer, no recap/cheap tires.
    Long coast to coast loads, no forced chaining, 0 micro managing.
    Don't work there now lol but it sounds nicer than when I was.

    You can also look into Van Kampen out of Michigan, 75mph trucks, as well as another one that Starts with a K, out of Michigan also.

    Coldliner out of Ohio sounds good too. Nice volvos.

    My 2cents. I'm on the lookout for somewhere I can go over 100k a year without trying very hard...

    Exact opposite for me.
    I did m-f 6 am to 3 pm home every night driving job home every weekend.
    I did not care for it as much as OTR driving , it was just like a regular job. I got into trucking so I did not have to work at a regular job. The happiest time in my working life is when I owned absolutely nothing but would fit into my truck and living %100 in my truck. What does that mean ? Absolutely nothing to worry about free as the wind plus saving %80 of my income long enough to where now I don’t need to work for $$$ any longer.
    Someone once said you should live like no one else so some day you get to live like no one else.
