    they will tell you u cant take it home just do it! you wont here a word if you do... take it home anyway.And DONT TELL OTHER DRIVERS! i got home today at 10am friday got to load in Indian town monday at 1pm with 9 loads to do b4 friday to lake wales 94.00 a load not to say that i wont be busting ##### but it is what it is.and i should be taking a few 10 hrs at home....if all goes well.


    You need to know this is a company with 500 trucks and something like 10 fm's very easy to slip away at home.

    If you park at winter haven yard for home time, if they need your truck they are using it, some guys choose to clean it out on hometime some say the hell with it.

    yea , I parked the truck at winter haven and flew home to NY for hometime. That was around 2 weeks ago. I dont really feel like going back and told them that. The unpaid hours sitting at customers wore me down. SO I am taking a couple more weeks and seeing what else is around. I guess its a short leave of absence or something.

    hope you all are well and stay safe

    Randy, I love it here!! But I am more busy driving than I am typing. This company will Feed you if you prove that you are a hussler. HOWEVER......I do not know what the future brings. There is like 5 trucks testing out e logs now. Rumors say e-logs for everyone 1st of next year. If that is the case then you can have fun driving a tank....but will be making no money, at .35/mile. If you have questions.....ASK, I will tell you anything I can.

    I don't complain to them unless I'm getting screwed over, I accept every load,never late I say the 7 months I been here 5 1/2 have been spent doing under 350mile loads in the north east.. Why am I being feed the scraps while others get the steak?

    When I left last wed I ran the port to johanna thurs n fri was told there was no other loads...bs, so when I ran into another driver in iona he said he loaded in fla delivered johanna, and reloaded fri for paw paw,mi. That's bs I'm a otr running local for 2 days and some guys are just in and out.
