    Anyone driving or System? I live in Western MT. about 80 east of Spokane. I am currently about to finish up my deployment in Afghanistan and am thinking of trying it out. Here are some of my concerns:
    I have 3 years of experience....but none over the road. All construction and oil fields
    I have read that they provide some training....to what extent?
    They say home most weekends. I do not have to be home every weekend but I do HAVE to be home some weekends....i.e. Drill Weekend.
    Will they get me there with enough notice. I usually know Drill weekends several months in advance
    I would like to stay Northwest and seems like having Spokane close by would definitely help this out.
    I currently do not have passport for Canada runs but am able to get one.
    How much is border crossing pay?
    And if anyone driving for them has any other info that would be pertinent to a newbie it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    There's a thread right now on System in the good trucking companies section. You may want to check that out.
