    Well I got off the phone with Dean a little while ago and he offered me the job. So now I just need to decide to put in my notice and head on up and make it official.

    As of yesterday afternoon I am no longer employed at Caledonia Haulers...my choice

    I'm not going to dish any dirt on the company or say anything bad about them lets just say they didn't turn out to be who or what I thought they were...If running from WI/MN to the northeast is your thing they will run the wheels off you....I didn't hire on to turn laps in that freight lane and when it became apparent thats what I would be doing the most I said "no thanks"....I don't feel mislead in any way I just don't think recruiting and dispatch are quite on the same page lets leave it at that..

    Again, this was my choice I have no desire to run the northeast on a regular basis other than to take a load to get me home..

    If any of you are considering employment with them I wish you all the best....

    Mike

    C-13 435hp in the older trucks with 13's no idea on the rears.....New trucks have a PACCAR in them I thought I heard 485hp not for sure on the exact hp number, 13's also as far as I know..

    They are not left lane trucks by any means, governed at 72mph..
