    Ask my fleet mgr. for a load coming to Atlanta, GA and what do u know im kicking back relaxing with the kids for a few days. Think im heading back out sunday. I think my only hang up so far is my co driver. he really sucks mopes and poutes all the time, complain about running too many miles but ready to get his own truck @ the same time... smh.. everything else is cool; hometime, miles, dispatcher. Hope it stays that way. Still working on my 40k miles so i'll keep you guys posted

    whats up. i work for Prime Inc, im only leaving because I'm looking for more home time. I have orientation on the 22nd. Can anyone give me a step by step on the 3 day orientation? What takes place on day 1, 2 & 3. And how are the trucks. Do u get to pick your own truck or do they do it for you. Do the truck radios he AUX holes? Lol. Please help a fellow driver out

    Still here @ ptl this phase 2 really is hell it takes forever to get 40k miles cause they really dont have team freight. Outside that it should be good going solo. Ive been told phase 2 takes 4 mos. Im on month 2 so just a matter of time. All else is well trucks routes company ect... dispatchers are what u make of them i would say. Im at 20 k wit 20k to go (smh) so im hanging in there. Ill keep u peps posted. Stay safe and safe trucking to yall

    If you are looking for more hometime PTL has it but if you want certain times then they seem to struggle on that. They can get you home but just not the time you may want.
