    Hello and welcome!

    I guess the first thing to take with you is your laptop, so you can keep posting on this forum!
    Best of luck with Gordons, my hubby runs out of WA and so we see a lot of them around and they seem to be one of the companies that is actually expanding during this bad economy. I think they run all Freightliners, though I might be wrong on that, thats just what we see!
    Be sure to go read the questions forums, you can learn a lot there from the guys who have run OTR a long time. And keep posting!
     
    Mastertech Thanks this.

    Well i have been out here for 3 months now.......... I don't know what to say really. It overall is a good job decent money get to see things and go places i have never been. But some of the drivers out here are how should i say this???? Very rude and disgusting! Trashing the only places we have to park, urine bottles all over off ramps. Its no wonder why people don't want truckers in their town. When my grandpa did it there was a standard a code one would say. Now all you see is filth and rudeness everywhere! Maybe i am wrong but i thought there was a better breed of people out here. Hate me if you want for saying this but its my opinion.
