    Need to learn to stay away from DOT Foods!! Our is at least an 8 hr wait to get loaded every time. Waste of time coming to these places.

    They do keep me rolling. The company trucks are governed at 65. I have not went any farther west than I-35. I have heard we have some loads going farther west, but not that often. I've seen a driver going to Denver, and we do have loads going to NE. I have picked up more preloads than live loads in the time i've been here.

    ACT is a very up front company. Have been a driver for over 10 years now, and so far, this has been the best driving job i've ever had.
