    I have a good friend who I went to school with and he drives the 11 Western for May. I talk to him daily.. He averages 2500 plus miles a week and just had a 3300 mile week. This is a new guy right out of truck school last winter and is making the system work and he doesnt kiss ###. He does run alot and gets his loads done on time! Just feedback from the trenches. I drive local in the PDX market and we are on the headset all day killing time as we drive our hours. May seems to be decent. I dont like how they send you guys for 50 gallons of fuel at one station then 100 at another to save a penny? What kind of crap is that? Other then that the truck is nice and gets down the road.... Heck the other day at LAYTON they fed everyone a buffet and let my buddy use the van to drive around town while the fixed a few things on his truck. Said it was a really nice terminal!

    yeah the buffet thing was may days, each week different terminals take turns having bbq's or buying food for the drivers (in may). I went on hometime wednesday when denver was having it, i went back to the terminal on thursday for lunch lol... no life I guess haha. layton does have a van we can use, but not all terminals do.

    Can you believe some nasty ### driver already smoked on the replacement van in layton. That is so disgusting and disrespectful to our employees. I bet his truck is wonderful. Btw, I know a well seasoned driver on western 11, been with may over 10 years. He averages 2500 at best.
