After a little over 2 years with Trans Am, my first OTR job, I turned in my truck on Sept.8. Trans Am IMO is one of the better OTR companies for newbies,if I had to go back OTR I would go back to them in an instant. My dispatcher knew my name, what makes me happy, and how I like to run. Granted it wasn't all peaches and cream but what job is? In the 2 years I worked for them I got home the day and time I requested except for twice. The mileage I ran everyweek varied from 2200 to 3200 miles a week. It seemed like after a good week I would have a slow one,mostly from waiting at the meat plant. I really enjoyed the running lanes, Denver is as far west as we would go with the exception of Los Angeles, so no we don't even carry chains on the truck at all! The most important thing to me was when I was in Effingham,IL, I got a call from my father, my mother had collapsed at school (school teacher) and was rushed to the hospital. After the tests came back they informed her she had cancer and needed surgery immediately. It took one phone call to my dispatcher before they had me a plane ticket back to North Carolina, but on top of that, they had a coach/student team bring my truck to me in North Carolina and had flowers in my mom's hospital room before I got there. I can't say what happened to other people at Trans Am but I tend to think they bring alot of it on theirself, and I'm not gonna get in pizzing match with someone who had a bad experience with Trans Am, I can just say what I experienced. They do have things about them I didn't like, as any company does, but the list is short. Night-Weekend dispatch is horrible to deal with, meat plants and grocery warehouses are slow. As far as anything else I absolutley loved working with Trans Am and like I said if I ever had to go back OTR it would be with them.

All companies pull some kinda crap you just have to find ways around it, its like the Government they really do not know what they are doing so you find the way to do it. But beware of certain companies were the order of the day is push the driver and fake lease purchase scams.
