    I have nothing really bad to say about Butler, runs were good, pay was good, equipment was top notch, just stupid ideas on the part of management. gotta love the guys coming out of orientation too, they tell ya Gary told them they have no empty trucks but he'll find them one somehow, then i go to the yard and there are 15 sitting empty, turn over rate there is way to high, should have paid more attention to the facts on paper before i made the decision to go there.

    I had a very nice truck. It was comfortable and ran good. I really hated to leave, but the money was not cutting it...

    Gary had someone in my truck before I left for the bus station LOL

    Yes, they treat you very well. Now if they would just come up with a real pay package, I would consider going back to work for them...

    Tell me about it, he loaded me up for the weekend, deadhead from Henderson, CO to Tyson in Holcomb, KS and off to Conyers, GA for tomorrow at 1100. I'm sitting in the Pilot on I-20 in Temple, GA with exactly 7 minutes left on my 70 and only picking up 2:48 at Midnight. Just enough time to deliver and take the rest of the day off, lol.
