    I am done with orientation, going to get into a truck with trainer on Friday. Probably going to NJ
    So far I love this company, very good to drivers and very well maintained truck. Always getting a wash at the terminal.

    I'm surprised they're doing an orientation starting Monday since the 4th is on Wednesday. Who knows, you might get lucky and only be bored for two days. :biggrin_25518:

    Congrats and good luck. Things didn't work out when I was with them but that was due to my health at the time. They seemed like a good company.

    They have a handful of trucks for the oilfields. It's something they just started about 2-3 months ago. I can't remember what the pay was exactly, but I know it was way too low for the work, IMO at least.

    We got a new truck this weekend. 21 miles on it when we picked it up. Kind of mad it doesn't have the swivel seat for the driver though.
