Just wonderin'....
As a company driver, if said company "guarantees" X amount of miles, how do they actually back up that guarantee e.g. if they don't give you the opportunity for the miles, do they still pay you? I can put poo in a box and slap a guarantee on it, but it is still just poo in a box.
If you had to choose.....

it's a way of keeping up driver retention and insuring that you're not just sitting in the a box with another guy to find out how it feels to be in a north Vietcong prison campEdinKansas Thanks this. -

Will never ever ever ever ever drive team again in my lifetime. *shudder*
I'm not condoning your first option either, in fact I'd probably run from it. Just sharing my experience. Best of luck. -
I hear a lot of guys on here, A LOT, speaking about how awful it is having an emissions controlled engine and it drives me nuts. These guys are throwing DEF in their fuel, and fuel in their def, completely ignoring maintenance intervals and think of the thing as a wrench free stand alone system. It's not.
I will agree with them on one thing: `09-`11 engines suck ###. I've had a few, they're awful. '12-'13 seems to have most of the bugs ironed out of them.
(This huge battle against EGR is getting old. And it, as well as DPF systems, are necessary to reduce the emissions of heavy vehicles. Sorry guys, party's over.)Last edited: Apr 11, 2014

Thanks for all the replies you guys. We ended up going with US X press. They are treating us pretty good here. Got in a dedicated run and their new push/mottoafter expanding so quickly after the pay few years is that"drivers are not a number. "
Getting the miles and the treatment we lime but hell its only been since 4/16 so I will keep you guys updated
