    Check w/ PTL (Paschall Truck Lines).. I just started there and quite pleased so far.. From talking to other orientees, many had DAC issues.. Won't here to check.. If they give you a pre hire.. check my profile for my name, to supply for recruiting purposes.. I have a thread on my employment with them.. check it out.

    covenant has hired this new slick talking mentalist type dude named Ray. he calls former drivers to try to get them to come back. yes they do hire everybody, and also pay the least. 16 cents a mile if 1 of the 2 person team doesn't have haz-mat. if you both have it you get 19.5 cents. over all, it's not worth the gay teaming. and solo, for GP route will only pay you a quarter a mile. really gay.

    25 cents a mile? holy shart. the defective lights and tires wont matter but the other two will but they are both around 3 years old so thats a plus. issue is u havent been driving in the last year. Are u making decent money in ur non trucking gig? I know if i could find a job paying 1000 plus in NJ a week non trucking i would be on it.
