    I know a lot of people have questions about C1 and PAM, I had a lot myself when I started out here. So to give back to the community I'll answer any questions that I can. Just give me time, I'm OTR so I don't always have internet, but I will respond when I do.

    P.A.M. is short for the company founder's initials, Paul Allen Miestri

    There is a terminal in Atlanta, kinda.. It's really just a drop yard, I believe it belongs to Central Transport.

    And I hate it here.. I'm leaving at the first chance I get. Its not that bad if your single no bills and need the experience OTR for a better job. Teaming blows...

    Money sucks, .175 a mile team.. .24 a mile solo. There is companies out there that will take you with 3 to 6 months and paying .35 to .42 a mile.

    Don't get me wrong tho, the company is not bad, there is some great people in the Admin staff that will look out for you.

    Actually.. I should, might make some money that way. Because I have to support a family back home, I go 2 to 3 days without eating some weeks.

    I once had a PAM driver approach me at the j in Russellville, AR and try to sell me some of his clothes to get something to eat.

    Do you mean to say you didn't know the pay sucked BEFORE you agreed to work there?
