TransAm Trucking, Inc. - Olathe, Ks.?

Drove local and that doesn't count for much, looking to get experience as a newbie ,but don't know which company is selling the least amount of crap. I know I have to pay my dues, just like everybody else and I have no problem with that......it's the lying with a smile that annoys me. Not looking for heaven on earth....just a job.

 

Just A update about Trans Am Trucking. I posted on here a while back, Well so far so good, Still getting Approx. 3000 miles a week unless I go home. One thing I will now due as a lease oparator is run 55mph before I go home. Last week I went home for 3 days, Started in NJ Friday to Indy and then Tulsa by Tues Morning, I got about 1500 Miles for the week and I thought to my self why not save my fuel due to my low amount of miles for the week. Well I ran 55 for the duration of the 1500 and got a avarage of 8.7 MPG, Well simple cause I did this, The next Friday my settlement was $378.01. With the great MPG's and fuel discount paid off. Lease Payment, Fuel and all other fee's paid off and I still got a check.

 

What if you did that every week? If you run smart enough, you likely will get the same miles. Maybe a little less, but the added savings from fuel will more than make up the difference. Try it, I'll bet you will clear more money overall.

 

Heading to Rockwell on the 24. Besides the usual DO NOT LEASE any other heads up some drivers can give me?

 

I didn/t know that Kevin at Rockwall quit/when did this happen

 

Kevin the trainer? He was a recruiter when I first met him.

 

can anyone tell me if transam is a good starter company

 

There as good a starter company as any, I guess. Really wouldn't recommend tho and this is the reason why. They drive automatics. TA was my starter and after almost 3 years, I moved on. Picking up on a manual again, for me anyway, was kind of rocky. Still, the company I'm with now was willing to give me a chance.

Try Watkins Shepard or Scheinder or some of the other companies out there instead. JMHO

 

I can get 8.7. Empty running 70 in a 389

 

most of my experience is in a day cab running local i'm having a hard time finding an otr job becauseof it..i've also thought about star up there in ill.
