    Depends on the truck you have. They have mostly all internationals. 9400i's, but most of them are in the process of being replaced w/ prostars w/ the maxxforce or whatever it is. They are governed at about 64/65mph.

    (I'm still in my training also, just finished my second week. It's going great. This should be my last week since I'm a student.)

    Its going great just got done with the over the road training.. Get to start testing out to get into a truck on Monday. I only have the labtop for a couple days after the weekend my wife will go back to Indiana..But if you don't want to work hard and honest this won't be the place to work. Thats what I learn from my OTR trainer.. If you don't work hard you won't make the cash...

    Hi guys and gals, I just applied to PGT and hopeful for some good news this week. I live in Binghamton, NY and the recruiter was telling me about the wallboard division which would get me home quite a bit. He also told me about a hazmat division which is with there sister company, and I'm spacing on the name right now. It pays pretty decent a mile.

    I've always driven either a dry van or reefer and I don't want to deal with that anymore. Especially the grocery warehouses. One of my concerns with the wallboard division is to be stuck running up and down the eastern US, I'm worried I'd get sick of it. I like running west and have friends and family out in California that I like to visit. I also have a passport and like the idea of making more money for running up there. Would I be better off running the OTR division if I want to run Canada and out west?
