    #### what's up with that?? You getting layover for that? I sure hope. I know that feeling, I've had to wait for 2 days to deliver a load once.

    Not with Decker anymore...Start with Salem Carriers on Tuesday...Will be running out of Dallas, hauling windows...beats sitting at a shipper wasting so much time and gets me home most weekends...nothing against Decker...I knew what I was getting when I signed on with them...but I outgrew them faster than I had imagined...time to move on..PM me if you need specifics...

    yep, I will be running out of Dallas...I guess a lot of guys don't like the physical work of moving the windows to the back of trailer...I'm looking forward to getting my exercise while I am working...

    My brother in law had driven for them and reccomended the company...benefits look better than most, pay is almost twice what I was making, at least I will be paid if I have to sit and wait, birthday is considered a holiday, won't have to waste time fueling along the way, seems pretty good for now. will update after orientation, but I think this is gonna be a good decision to go with Salem...
