    Thanks for the info. My current boss was being a **** for several months but has since calmed down and even gave me a raise I didn't ask for, so I am staying put for now. Talked to Kurtis and everything seamed on the up and up just wanted to hear from someone else. He also told me he would keep my app. if anything changes to give him a call.

    Yeah I been shopping my CDL applied here...their website says sign on bonus -no more they offer all drivers a sales job with a referral payout lol too funny so that was disappointment #1 and they will not provide transpo to Richmond disappointment #2. They have a flexible pay scale so if ya want the high pay NE is where you run otherwise its a .10/mile difference .35 disappointment #3. The upside is 3k miles a week, faster trucks, more of a specialized freight than dropping crap off at WalMart, no touch even. Good home time, bennies, prepass ezpass Qualcomm no crazy dispatch and get fuel when and where you want in their fuel network. Anyone else that might already work there need help making a decision soon.

    Hey NN 38, just curious, do they take good care of their trucks. Reason I ask is I just bought 8 of their 2010's just curious about oil changes and such.
