    That sounds like a pretty good gig you got. Honestly I'd stay put.

    I would stay put as well. If you live below Roanoke odds are you'll be running the Midwest which means you wont make it home everyweek & you dang on sure wont be grossing 1400 a week. Van Wyk is a great co with flaws & all but it sounds like you got a better gig at the moment.

    I agree, hawk summed it up pretty well. Remember reefer means weird delivery times and hostile shippers/receivers.
     
    hawkjr Thanks this.

    May through October, over the age of 12 I believe. Insurance doesn't allow passengers during the winter.

    Still in the POS Volvo #880, although when I was in the shop earlier this week a little birdie tipped me off we have 15 KW T680's coming in. I made sure to march my happy ### into Tim's office to throw my name in the hat for one. I really wish we could have even just a little dog or something, gets kinda lonesome after awhile, heck I'd be willing to fork over a deposit. I get Dave's point of view though, we've got some guys that can barely keep their truck clean so I would hate to see it with a pooch in the mix.

    Them T680 should be a pretty sharp in VW'S paint scheme.

    Will they have Cummins or Paccar power? Still Auto's as well?
