    You can take off whenever you want or truthfully whenever you can afford to take off. We deliver quite a bit in Jackson and Lexington,Tn and pass thru pretty often.

    Now for things I don't like.

    Anybody hired now has to be on elogs. You can still get miles with them but I just have personal beliefs where I don't like it.

    We have a lot of drivers that don't want to run very hard so that kind of hurts the ones that are not like that because they schedule appts farther out than I would like. Also I don't like that they really only will dispatch you on loads during the day so if you can deliver at a customer early like the night before scheduled and it is after about 5 pm you are stuck until the next morning to get another load.

    Thanks for the reply. I live in jackson. Called today and Marsha told me they couldn't hire me because I live to far from nashville and Memphis. As a lease operator I don't understand why it would be a big deal. I'm 85 miles from Memphis 115 from nashville. Kinda odd.

    Are they ever going to update their trailers there? Seem to be a lot to be desired. Lol

    I have no idea what you are talking about. They pull freight and pass DOT inspections so I don't see what the problem is. Pulling one now that is less than 6 months old and pulled one a few days back that was about 7 years old and it worked just fine.
