    Yep, came over here about a month ago. Got burnt out with dry van, and the elogs weren't helping. ended up tapping a powerline in TN so I told Jerry and Adam I was done. Adam said if I quit I wouldn't be able to get unemployment and that if I wanted to, he could terminate me and not dac me. That way I could still do the unemployment and if anyone want to know anything, just have them call him and he'd explain. Sat on my butt cheeks for about three Weeks before coming over here to the river.

    Been driving for them for about three months. Dispatched out of Winter Haven.I ended up in Clovis my second week out.Had a hard time till I learned who to talk to meaning dispatch.Been averaging 2800 to3400 miles a week.Some days are better than others.When school comes back in they tell me that Clovis is where you can really make good money.Not looking to go anywhere else.In all they are better than most oter places I have driving for.

    Stopped in Clovis to try and get some DEF a couple of Weeks ago, couldn't find it so I drove off. Found out later that it's kept inside a service bay.

    Mitch. I had a pretty heated sitdown with Adam and my dispatcher Mike Tuesday when I got back from my 30 day tour of the West. I think we got alot of crap ironed out. Meeting finished alot cooler than it started.

    Yeah, since I left I wasn't going to stick around those forums like some people and jus bash the company. We parted on good terms and I left it at that.


    Yeah towards the end I was catching heck with dispatch, mostly because of the new system.

    Sittin at the port waiting on an mty right now.

    Mitch, you're a cool headed dude. I wasn't pleased with the way things ended for me at Pritchett, but rather than point the finger, I had to assume some responsibility for what happened and that's what I did here, I owned up to my mistake and moved on. Kudos to ya' man.....

    My wife always says the one thing I got mote then mouth is patience. Was told that I hook to trailers in a dangerous way. I say every driver is different and what works for one might not work for the other.
