    Yes sir lol I’ve been waiting for this chance. Plus being able to get right into a linehaul position with Dayton has me pretty stoked!

    No, I’ll be on a bid run. Going to Toledo and who knows from there. The TM was pretty upfront and said a lot of guys don’t like the run do to there is a possibility of sitting there for awhile or getting there and heading straight back rather than to another terminal. I told him as long as I’m allowed to work while I’m waiting on the dock or whatever so I’m making money, I don’t mind and realize I’m on the bottom of the board and have to put my time in. Also the district manager was really cool and let me know if I come right back to the terminals, he can set me up on a couple loads when I get back also so I can keep the wheels turning.

    i think either would be a good choice. i haven’t spoken personally with any R&L drivers. i have spoken personally with several dayton drivers. dayton appears to be very legit. i run linehaul for pitt ohio out of indy. i love it here.

    That’s cool, I about applied there earlier this year do to that’s where I currently drive for work. Moving about 30 minutes more north and it would put my drive at about 1hr 35 minutes to work, and I just don’t want any part of that lol

    I’ve pulled enough pups through snow storms to be able to slightly disagree with that. ;)

    If that’s the best tanker outfit there is, I think I’d hate to see the worst.
