    And take care of those new trailers so that they don't end up looking like Hollands!

    You'll like it here I'm keeping busy they leave you alone, just make sure if you're not free sign that you email or call on the dispatches and let them know that you're ready rock 'n' roll. Good luck to you, Iinemesis.

    I think I will be very happy here. Every driver that I have talked to said "You will like it here"

    Well, after orientation, got my truck and had to spend the night at the Freightliner dealer. I got that mess straight and ran to Pelican Rapids, Mn and grabbed a load of turkey. Now on my way to Ontario, Ca.

    Do you guys have the ability to move truck before it kicks you to driving ? I've read all of this forum and Hollands and can't make up my mind wich is the better company

    I'd prefer gpt. There's some growing pains here and there since the split from holland but it's a good company, a bit smaller, they leave the drivers alone to do their jobs, and the maintenance dept. is a lot better to deal with.

    As for the e-log, it kicks to driving after a minute or so, you can crawl around the lot below 5mph without in changing so long as you stop after a short distance. Once it goes to driving it'll go back to when you started moving.
