    Can anyone explain their dispatch procedures? Your out 5.5 days so do you have to return to your D.C. for your 34 or for those that live a number of miles out can they the reset at a D.C. A little closer to home?

    The truck comes back to the DC. You leave the truck there. There is different programs that they have. There is the regular 5/2 that is 5 days out and two days home. This what most drivers start on. Then the 5/2-5/3 that is 5 days out 2 home then 5 days out 3 days home this program has 3 drivers and 2 trucks. Then there is a 6/3 6 days out 3 days off this also has 3 drivers and 2 trucks. There are meny more but this is the basic programs.

    Not hard to get in with them anymore. Their website used to say 10yrs experience, last time I saw a position open up near me it said 1yr. Since the Tracey Morgan thing I guess they've become so bad to work for they can't keep people.
