    they're a great company, if i had a truck and wanted to run OTR i would lease onto them. I met alot of O/O's while there and all of them had nothing but good things to say.

    Friday, started off bad, couldnt get in the truck thanks to the dirty man that stole the key, luckily i know how to get into and start a International with a international key (dont have to be the right one) lol then i had to put 3 gal of oil in it, then the front trailer jumped the fifth wheel..how i dont know i check the height and i was straight with it..i havent figured it out yet lol

    Anyway after all the cranking, i then got to fight a pos dolly, then finally i got to leave at 845am, got up there grabbed my set and came back. Knocket out both of my trailers with another driver in 1 hour and was out at 730pm
