    Any truck color other than green are L/P drivers. We have some black, white, yellow and even a green one or two that are all L/P.

    Are they O/O or are they L/P trucks? I ask because when I talked to someone in the office they brought up the lease deal and said that after so many months and you can show that you can handle the L/P then you would get to lease a truck that they are going to trade in. Thought all of them where green trucks?

    They are L/P trucks. And yes, they are green. I don't know the particulars on the other L/P color trucks. We do have a bunch of O/O's. Their trucks are all different types and colors.

    Great thread. I read every post. I did almost two years with Averitt and had just as positive an experience as you have Jon Boy. I left the road to start a new career at Carmax but if I ever go back to driving I will certainly check out Abiline. Good job.

    I was assigned a deadhead move from Reading back to the yard in Richmond. I have hometime scheduled from Friday through Monday, coming back out Tuesday. My truck is in the shop getting finished with an oil change and a couple write ups. All I want to do is go to bed. I've been up since 3am and am a little tired. I'll be headed home tomorrow, I hope.

    If it's been over 4 hours, you should've gone to the VIP for the night on the company. I didn't know that and sat around for 8 hours before Jonathan told me. Just remember to let Sarah know so she won't charge you for it.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    When I asked Bill about it once he said they had some black trucks that got rolled over to lease. They only use the green scheme now.

    The GREEN SCHEME , sounds like a good name for a lease program

    Yeah, "scheme" does sound very fitting.
