    This is actually the largest company I've drove for. But we still run a lot of big hoods. Most of us have rookie sticks. I've got a bug catcher on mine, and I've never pulled a trailer with no bulk head and having a head board on the truck. The only draw back I see is e logs. But I'm learning I guess.

    You mean the 'no politics, no nonsense, no hand holding at all, orientation consists of a 5-15 minute conversation with the owner' way?

    When I called for this one it was, "Oh you drove for them, swing by Monday"

    MJ1657 you know much about a Kinzie 24 row? That's what if bought for this year, I've always run 16.

    You mean you didn't get a sunshine injection in the arse?

    Sounds like plain old school trucking. Boss doesn't sugar coat nothing. The bigger companies will have a a third hard charger, a third average driver, and a third slacker. A small company like that will probably have 60% hard charger, 35% average driver and the slackers will be related to the owners' wife somehow.

    No I don't. I've always pulled Deere planters until I started working for this guy. He had a Kinze 6 row with interplant for soybeans. He quit farming so I only planted with it 1 year. I milk at home some but don't get much time in the tractor anymore.
     
    TwinStickPeterbilt Thanks this.
