    I got fired during orentaion, so I can't help much

    they brag about being a family-ran and family orentated company....and they all thought I was a virgin, so I didn't quite fit their "mold"I guess

    they are also a 4-on-4-off carrier

    they fuel ONLY at Loves, unless you're in Florida, then you have to fuel at the Lake Wales terminal.
    you MUST drive the route they tell you


    there are good things too, they are very strict about clean, so if you're at the yard on certian days you'll get a truck wash. I also believe you get to use a Blue Beacon if you wish, please don't quote me on that directly.

    you have to have a TWIC card, if you don't have one they'll loan you the money to get it. they want you to have HazMat as well, but its not a requirement (no idea why people don't have it) they also want you to have your passport, but again not a requirement.

    all their trucks are Volvos, equipped with APU's, some even have automatic transmissions.

    they have a few team positions avalable, but they are very limited, but very dedicated

    have an inverter that has to be hardwired? the shop'll do it free.

    oh, and you're NOT allowed on any Toll roads

    the Owner seems to not mind spending a few bucks

    they seem very driver-centered, no wonder I didn't fit in there

    I am up here in upstate New York unloading and hopefully getting something going toward the house soon. Pay period ends tonight at midnight and this was another week with 3k miles.
