    Well I applied for DSV last night, for whatever reason they sent me copies of my DAC, PSP, etc over driver pulse (all that was on any of that is the overweight citation) and that was really making me sweat so I called DSV; after being forwarded im guessing I got in contact with the lease purchase guy and out of all the recruiters I talked to this guy emphasized “paying off the truck”, “my goal isn’t to make you rich”, etc and he definitely seemed interested in me working there most of all :D I told him about that overweight citation because I didn’t see where to list it on the application and he said that didn’t do anything to my score, so... @D.Tibbitt why’d you quit man lmao it took me like 2 years but I’m trying to get there now

    I know it’s quite a lot of responsibility, but I’m pretty excited of the thought of getting to choose what loads I haul and where I go, makes me feel a lot more comfortable lol I can’t wait to drive to California again through Texas on I-10, or or the mountains of Utah and Colorado

    Rigs were heading past the shop all day today. Just looked at the rig count. 85 in May, 117 in June. Bet July will be even higher.

    Hoping we've got another oil boom. I love seeing all the big bed trucks and winch trucks out and about.

    Enjoy the journey and the ride buddy. Take it all in. Enjoy the sights. Take pictures. The road is a beautiful thing. It takes you places that you have never been and allows you to see so many wonderful things.

    Good luck with the new gig and let us know how it goes!

    Haha thanks; I’ve been everywhere in the United States except for a few small states in the northeast and states in between Oregon and Colorado such as the Dakotas and Idaho; DSV asks the question “Are you willing to drive to Canada” and I was like hells yeah! Ooo that would be one hell of a ride picking something up in somewhere like Texas and going that far north

    I hope we do too. It's definitely been busier than the last few years these past few months. I wouldn't mind working right in my back yard. Susquehanna county is one of the biggest producers in pa. Still got the lift axle and wet kit for the 99. That could be pretty versatile.

    2009-2013/2014 it definitely brought some new life to the area

    Haha yeah man. Texas to Canada is a fun ride. I've done quite a few trips from the Port in Houston to Alberta, Montreal and Toronto.

    How soon will it be for you to get your first truck?
