    We are actually not forced dispatch..usually we are offered several loads to choose from but sometimes our dm comes up with a special load that he knows we will want and grabs it off the board for us...pretty cool

    We have loads going through there weekly but they would want you to stay out 3 to 4 weeks before hometime since you live so far away from tennessee. Most loads going in and out of socal are time sensitive.

    SEC has a lot of freight going into South California
    Then backhaul back to Tennessee. I would guess
    You can get by 2 or 3 times a month. Thats one of
    there main routes.You probably get by your home
    But wont sit long. This company is very generous
    with giving you time off when you request it.

    I did notice that in Oregon SEC gets a close
    check up by DOT when you go thru a weigh
    station. I got pulled in for a level #3 at the
    Scale in Umitilla. They told me it was a random
    check. I always got a red light on my prepass
    I dont know if they give you a green light in Oregon or not, I havent run out there for awhile

    in Kennewick WA, Then I deadheaded back over to
    Portland and picked up a load that goes to Commerce GA, I am taking my break now in Ogden UT. Thats just since April 17 th. You
    will get the miles with this company if you
    like to keep rolling.

    I feel like SEC is one of those hidden jewels that we just happened to discover...

    I know I am sitting at home right now heavily medicated but can't wait to get back at it..

    have fun airbreeze... and be safe..

    you know the company does have a picnic this summer where they give away all kinds of things to the drivers... I heard that one person may get a new car this year... last year it was an atv with trailer
