    I've been looking at TWT for awhile.Whats the starting pay their? Does everyone start at the same pay or does it depend on experience?Been thinking of moving back to the area "Tri Cities" and don't want to drive system for Big Orange.Been their and done that and didn't like it so I went dedicated in 95 and moved away to Ky.Also wondering what kind of home time a driver gets with TWT, equipment,areas they run ect. out of their Kingsport term.Thank in advance and stay safe.:biggrin_25520:P.S. TWT sounds like a professional company and their trucks and equip look it.Thx agian."

    I am looking at a Volvo 630 that was formerly owned by Tidewater. My question to you Tidewater guys is, how well are they maintained? The truck has 478K on it and is a typical trade cycle truck. It's a nice clean truck with a Volvo engine and a 10 speed. I pull flatbed and I am wondering if there was any tanker equipment removed from the truck that might cause a problem later. Thanks.

    Hey dawg, I just started with them this week. So far I like the company. Training has been good and I'm going to the three day class next week. All I can tell you now, I make $100 a day while training. I can let you know more on down the road...
