    The people in Owensboro are great people to work for . They care about the drivers' families and will get you home ASAP in an emergency . The dispatcher also works with drivers the best she can.
    There is no pressure on runs . You are told to stop if you are fatigued no matter how many hours you have left. Just notify them so they can notify the customer . They have had the same shippers for over 15 years and work well with them .
    Loads out of Owensboro are dedicated . Get empty and come home .

    Went on my first load with trainer, it was a pump off. Things went pretty well for the most part. The pump broke at the very end but we were able to get the rest off in buckets. leave out monday with someone else not sure who.

    Was that a terminal 861 load ? I haven't used my pump on a 732 load in 2 years . It's good you're getting that experience though . I'm leaving for Pasadena , TX today . Will be home Wednesday afternoon and loading for Bradford , Ontario early Thursday . Will be home around noon Saturday with about 65 hours in . I preloaded this trailer Friday since the shipper doesn't load weekends . They give me an extra $115 to sit home and restart on early preloads .

    I think it was a calvert load, when i'm done with training i will be back with 732 term. with dena. you are correct are term. don't pump or air, but they wanted me to get the experience so that if i ever had to do it i would know how. I will go out this week and be finished with training. That's cool they gave you extra. I'll tell ya everyone seems to be very helpful around there.
