    I was wondering what the current drivers think of the miles are they fairly consistent. I understand that the first few months are always a learning fleet just wanting some insight

    My first few weeks solo. I got some good loads. If you can prove yourself of being on time starting out they will keep you moving. How long that last is anybody guess. I only lasted a month before switching to dedicated. My miles are more consistent now then they were before.

    If i can make on average 500 a week ill be happy. Id love to average closer to 750 a week but starting out im fine with 500 average. If all else ill get a few months experience and then check with the dedicated. Do you know anything about the other dedicated accounts, i know they have Tyson, Sanderson farms and basf as well as a few others

    I didn't go over the other accounts because they said getting home would be a problem. I do know tyson also starts at 39 a mile. But I think you have to be with the company for 6 months first.

    Today been a drag. Shutting down with an hour left on the clock. Was trying to do 600 miles today. But fell short by 30 miles. Could run that hour down but wouldn't make it to the next truckstop. Was running pretty smoothly until I got into GA. The rain just started to pour down. Truck got an free wash plus an extra rinse. At one point going through atlanta the highway slowed to 35mph. I wish they would use either yellow paint on the highway. Its hard to see that white line at night pouring rain. Somebody came on the cb talking about you know it's bad when the 4 wheelers start acting like a chicken lol.

    I believe you're in a good location to get on any of the dedicated accounts.
