    LMAO Daniel "Put down the Bottle" Wow, you almost owed me a new keyboard! I feel the same way Holycow, I wish it was like the good ole days when we all looked out for each other like brothers. I dont know if their are any companies left like the group and talent we had. It's sad indeed. Miles seem to be low. One of my highlights was 3 days for 500 miles on a broker load. Brokers will make you broke! I was hoping for a productive and profitable year. It didnt mean that the brokers can work us into waiting for product over and over than the scheduled appt.

    I never had to worry about miles at fre.only trlrs.if u arnt getting miles then that might be a chicken way to get u to leave.some of these companies are to chicken to call u in and tell u of their disappointments so they cut ur miles.just the way some leaders handle problems or disagreements with drivers.i never had a problem with miles anywhere but if it isn't managed right I will take my skills and go where I don't have to deal with the craziness.if u run with the band of brothers beware u are in the cross hairs

    I feel for ya buddy, but, ya know what? I checked in at the same place you loaded at there in Lake Park, at 1030 on a Thursday morning, one of our other drivers was already there, James in truck 255, we didn't get loaded till 1430 and 1530 FRIDAY afternoon... Then we had to haul butt to make it to Plover, WI... 1210 miles away... We both delivered at the same place...

    I just had a really "fun" load to "Get Me Home"... I went to Tyson in Olathe, KS... Got there at 1130 on Saturday morning, I didn't get loaded till 0230 on Sunday morning... Then had to run down to Oklahoma City, OK and sit around there twiddling my thumbs till 2100 Sunday night to deliver it...

    im in orientation.wow they have people here that are working together and we actually have a drivers manual.no body walks around acting like they are better than the other person,not even the owner.and u actually learn the way things are done and they do have a plan for the future.

    Ozark motor lines...I've worked here before and left because my grandkids were out west.now they live in Nashville and with Ozark I will see them all the time.ozark has a 1000.00 sign on bonas and paid orientation.i averaged 2800 miles per week last time and they are very driver friendly.950 drivers and a lot of them have been here 10 years or longer.they have great terminals with nice showers and free laundry facilities that are real nice.
    they get u home and their shops are the best.they changed a gasket that was leaking oil on the motor and fixed a broken head lite in a total of 1/2 hr after I reported it.when u are in the yard they fuel the truck for u in Memphis and they do ainspection while u are wathing tv.love this place...40 cent a mile and 40 dollars on each additional drop
