    SO I left Central Ref. Svc. No they were not a bad co. to work for. Just not what i needed anymore.
    I am now at Avondale trucking located in Sylacauga, Al. only 40 trucks. They give me a load and tell me when they would like it there. I take it from there. I fuel at the Flyin fish hook and that is it. I am off weekends and get between 2500 and 3000 miles a week. Started at .08 cents more than central going up two more after 60 days.

    Going to assume you have a typo there and meant the miles 2b by the week and not the month. :biggrin_25523:

    So its been awhile since I posted. I am still happy happy!! Found out that Avondale is just a name lol. I am employed by Mt.Vernon Mills out of s.c. Don't really care their checks are good and the time is great. I drive an 01 international 4900i with just over a million miles. I don't care lol. again the checks and home time make up for a slow truck. my smallest check here is bigger than the largest one I got from Central. Now not bad mouthing Central. I run out from Trion, GA to Uvalde, TX. From Laredo, Tx to Sylacauga AL or somewhere in Ga. Sometimes I run around Alabama all week lol. Come fri. I am home for the weekend. I leave out Sunday night or monday morning. :biggrin_2559: all the way to the bank!!!!

    Good for you on the small (40) truck company. The way you describe it sounds like the old Birmingham-Nashville Express when I drove for them. It was great! Good miles, good pay, and home EVERY weekend. Sadly, they went out of business.

    It's tough for a small company that treats its drivers like that to compete with the bigger, "stay out 2 weeks or more", outfits. BNE was the best driving job I ever had, for sure!

    Yes it used to be Avondale Mills, they filed bankruptcy and Mt. Vernon bought them out, they used to be a lot bigger, Most of my wifes family used to work there in Sylacagua but most have retired. I work for a private fleet and find they are much easier to work for good luck on your adventures...
