    Is the northeast really that bad? I lived here my whole life so I guess I'm just used too it. Just don't make a wrong turn in Glen Falls NY.

    I actually liked going to the NE just for the challenge of it ( minus LI) but it is a time waster if your getting paid by the mile. Not to mention the sketchy neighborhoods many of my customers were in.
     
    Metallica88 Thanks this.

    They tell you when you are hired on that you don't have to go that much to the Northeast. But really, that's all they really have. Only certain drivers are priviledged to go west. If you don't like kissing butt, I would advise going elsewhere....

    You're only getting .45 cpm to go up there and all these other trucking companies are paying extra for that area. You get paid layover pay but it's not enough to cover the BS

    Grew up in CT and I know how trucker unfriendly this area is and the idiot drivers.

    Indian River actually works with you if you want to stay off the East coast. But the owner's sister is a real piece of work....

    I'll take the Northeast before Cali any day of the week. I can think of exactly two legit truck stops around L.A. and they were packed when I rolled through. I've never seen so many poor ######## parked on the side of the freeway for a 10. I ended up on a side street parked legally but nothing around for food or showers. I danced in my seat as I left the state and accelerated to 65.

    Don't really like California either but Northeast is the worse and when you just want a break and they tell you it is what it is, that's a bunch of crap

    I work for him at VTC and he's never been anything but nice to me and my family. I've talked with a few drivers from GTC and they seem to like it over there. I've never had to kiss anyone's butt over here to make an outstanding paycheck plus benefits. I realize they are 2 different animals. Here our freight lanes change sometimes...you gotta go where the work is. I go all over the North East. Not my favorite place to drive but they are all roads and I go where the money is. And as far as the article you posted that happened in '03 and everyone makes mistakes. That doesn't make him a bad person just human.
    Out of 500 drivers here and however many over there how much time did you actually spend talking to him to form that opinion of him?? You seem kind of bitter in your posts... you're not one of those guys that could get paid $10,000.00 a week to sit at home and complain your butt hurts are you??
