    Hello!
    The recruiter was very vague about this position. Main customers are a forklift company and Lowes, I think. Anyone here know more about it? Any info about System is welcome as I have read a lot of threads( the big one too) and still don't even know how fast their trucks go!
    Thanks!

    I'm in the Kansas City Regional division. the truck I have goes 62 on the throttle, 65 on cruise..T660, 10sp, 72" sleeper (i think). Don't know anything about the Texas division though. I had a different recruiter, but hear Brenna is the go to person for that.

    I run texas regional. Yes we do mostly Lowe's here. Also a lot of interceramic, and they are slooooow. I'm fairly new, been at it a couple of months. My Avg miles are around 2200, avg cpm of .46 with 34s at home every week. I'm on a KW 660, it does 65 either with cruise or on the floor. My trainers truck did 63 on the floor and 65 with cruise. Apu, 1500wt inverter, 48' FB, we have some 53' stepdecks but I haven't use one yet. The lowes loads are preloaded, pretarped, I'd guess ballpark that I tarp a little over half of my loads. The pay is sliding scale, so cpm varies based on length of dispatch. I run a lot between ennis and El paso so the miles can be good if things go right. The company seems alright to me. They don't bug me. I go days without even talking to my DM. They take care of issues right away and keep me moving. Not too much bad to say about them honestly. I thought it was cool that they fly you to orientation and give you your own hotel room in spokane. They seem to treat us well here. Also, to have an option of regional or otr is nice too if home time is important. I am probably moving to otr. I'd like to make a bit more money than I do currently. My Avg net is 830 a week so gross is around 1000. Anything else, feel free to ask. I'll answer as best I can. The running area is primarily Texas and Oklahoma. We go to NM for some lowes stores,and sometimes up to Kansas city area too. But yea, mostly TX and OK

    Yea they could be better now but slow loading and unloading usually gets in the way. It happens.

    Boss hawg, your truck isn't 2978 is it? My old truck did 65 on the foot too and there aren't too many that do.
    That Interceramic in Santa Teresa, NM is awful, just awful. I feel your pain.
