Gee, hadn't thought about that ....How much are you all willing to pay for my queenly advice and research skills? .....Be nice!

Did you make it back to Omaha?

 

Can I ask why you are considering TransAm? I don't mean that in a derogatory way or anything .....I just noticed that you have 10 years experience. With that experience you would have to lease.

 

And for kf4omc..... New York City

Yes, I made it back to Omaha. From your advisory tho, I should've went further south, like Central America. Looks like I'll be running IA, tomorrow night. Oh joy.
And HTQ, you know that I'm always nice!!!! *snickers and falls over laughing*

 

I hope everyone has a happy New Years and everyone is safe tonight

 

I made it out of NYC. Sitting at a truck stop in central PA on I 80 for the night. Werner shuts down their whole fleet from 10pm to 4am on new years. There was no way I was going to be anywhere near NYC on new years eve.

 

no negative way taken....just got my a license, but have over 10 years with a b license including with jb hunt

 

Now I understand ....I might be wrong but I don't believe that you would have to lease under those circumstances. I know that you have been on here for awhile and read the posts. This thread is as close to the truth as it gets with TransAm. Everyone has shared their honest opinions and experiences. We have all had good times and bad working at TA ....not so different from any other mega carrier.
