    T600's and T660's. If you want to drive a nice one be prepared to bend over and get leasing.

    They have a 3 week training program. Some trainers are good and some ain't. I've been with TA now for # 14 mos. My miles are ranging from # 2700 to 3200 a week. I'm a company driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeepskate is correct about them being T600 and T660s. Most of the 600's should be phased out by the end of next year.
    I understand that they are pushing the lease option pretty hard. Have talked to a few guys that have waited upto 3 weeks to get a company truck. Would NOT recommend coming to this company and being talked into a fleece program or any other company for that matter, especially with being new and not having a clue as to whats going on yet.
    Hometime is supposed to be guaranteed and for the most part, I have not had any problems with it. Got home 12 hrs late one time and twice I've had to come in to swap my load with another driver.
    Can't give advice on FFE since I've never worked for them.
    Any other questions about TA and I'll try to answer them.

    Yes I'm still here and running for TA. Good luck with TX and your training. Hope you get a good one. If not, let me know and I'll PM you my phone # and try to help with any questions you might have. Don't be afraid to ask your trainer questions, that what he/she is there for. If they don't know the answer, they'll know who to call to get one.
    DevilDog, all I can say is to call recruiting. With the way they go thru people.......
