    Thanks Steven, sounds like Cummins account is a very good one. Recruiter told me at this point they are only adding drivers to that account that live in the upper Midwest, like MN, IA, IL, WI, IN and MO. These drivers all run OTR (everything east of I-35). Do they go to NYC and vicinities too?

    They do have a location there in Ardmore, OK but that location is just for the Best Buy dedicated drivers.
    Would like to get some info about that Best Buy account... Such as, can a new hirers with experience get that account right after orientation? And are most of those loads type of high security loads? Where do they go? Thanks and be safe!

    Hey Steven, just got a response from recruiter... I would qualify for the BB account but that is full at this point. I don't really have a home anywhere and I'm considering changing my physical residency according to my next company. So, I am just gathering info at this point from Koch and a couple other companies.

    i'm quitting koch after being there a year and half.if you go to koch as a driver on the otr board i hope you can live on 1500 miles a week.i'm going 14 out of 19 days sitting because i'm not a brown noser or a yes boy.and i was leasing a truck which is killing me.the load planners at koch are the WORST i've ever seen.my dispatcher is a joke.if your not one of ''his boys'' by that i mean brown noser your pretty much screwed.if you question him on ANYTHING 1st he'll hang up on you then pull the load then you'll sit for 2 days.i was NEVER late on a pick-up or delivery.i did my job like i have for 11 years but nowhere does it say i have to kiss ANYBODIES ### to make a living. sat 2 days in texas,2.5 days in pa and here's the clincher i sat for 5 DAYS in stony ridge,oh.so if your a yes boy or a brown noser koch is for you,if not i wouldn't even think about it but that's a decision you have to make for yourself.
