    No coast to coast, yet. It has been rumored, but most trucks are not California legal due to being glider kits with 01 detroits. Not to mention very few trailers are carb compliant either.

    You can have a rider at day one. Bring her to orientation!

    2.5 day orientation. Nothing special.

    Pet policy is a few hundred deposit. Don't recall exact amount.

    Trucks given out are what they have available at the time of orientation. Currently run Cascadia wih auto shift, 386 with 13 speed and Coronado with 10 speed.

    I have only once, out of a dozen or so times, been in and out of a Jbs swift plant. We cannot drop them fast enough. Come through on ConAgra and we can say goodbye to Jbs.

    The first of the BRAND NEW trailers are out on the road. Numbered 2300 and up.

    Already using the new trl's? Man that was faster then the used prime trl's. They must have prepared this time.

    Well that favor load I was asked to do went to crap. I wasn't given the right time to deliver. Ended up getting to AB in Lubbock 1 1/2 hours after they closed. Now I have to sit and wait until Monday before I can get unloaded. You think that someone would have known that if I couldn't get the load until 0400 this morning that I wouldn't be in Lubbock until 1330. Guess I got a fast one pulled on me. Lost 600 mile going to Denver because of this favor. Now I lost the 1400 miles to FL because of having to wait to unload. That's $760.00 not being made. Good news I get $65.00 for sitting for over 36 hours. Guess I need to learn the new math here....lol.

    They got pulled out of Indianapolis. Split evenly among two of the new ConAgra shippers from what I heard.

    Must have missed something, didn't know they ordered new Trailers.
    Just the other day I pulled the First Prime.

    I just left Greeley with a 3 stop load going to Tx.
