    All e-logs.

    Freight wouldn't be a problem in ATL. We have a terminal over in Conyers. We haul alot of freight in and out of ATL. The trucks are in decent shape. Our maintenance shop is doing a good job at getting everything fixed.

    Time management is big with these e-logs. Like I can get up early and roll tomorrow to deliver load, but it's a live unload for 1500. So that means if I want more than 260 miles for the day, I need to leave later and get there just in time. That is the hardest to adjust to.

    Picked up in Graniteville. Had one hr left so I parked in little truck stop for the night. Going to roll about 0900 to 1000. Deliver in Jacksonville. Going through the woods so I need some time for that, but still not too much time or I lose money making time. I'm all about the money. Lol.

    I guess just about everyone will be on elogs pretty soon from what I hear. Does link America set drivers coming to orientation in a nice hotel, do we have to shack up with another driver-ugh?

    I can't answer that one. I live 45 min away and have some friends that are 20 min away. I stayed with friends and ate their food while using their bed. Lol. Lunches sucked for my food tastes, but I eat healthy. There was no option for my palette so I had to make do. Everyone else enjoyed the food. My diet just didn't allow it.

    The hotel u get set up is nice is la quinta inn west in lakeland and have continental bfast even in orientation u will get ask how they treat u there. LinkA is very concern for the drivers and want that even the hotel expirience is remarkable i believe is one per rm. orientation gives pizza and theres a soda machine so bring some poket change. As Shaggy said bring some coffe ad well.
