    Good deal. Don’t know about Houston, I deal with them quite a bit. Next Mon will be taking them some freight. Easy to deal with. I’d defiantly work for them. Most seem happy there

    Wow, holy crap. Guy sure is asking a lot, but paying only half of what qualifications justify.

    About par for the course

    Can't go wrong with the big E. Is it city or linehaul? Usually Estes linehaul drivers stay at the hootel for their 10 hours off. Just so you know

    You gotta love it!!! Guy gets laid off, only worries for a day. Gets a job similar to same. That’s what made Me decide to drive. Watched my Dad do that back in 1980 while everyone else couldn’t find a Job. He pulled doubles for Trans- Con. AKA Trash Can Lol

    @Fuelinmyveins I have an interview tomorrow to meet up with the terminal manager at Estes. @KaoMinerva how long is the process once you meet with the terminal manager. I hope everything goes thru fine so I can star working.

    ehh p&d is a water of your time. I consider that slave wage, but it's better than nothing. Here's my question about OD. Since you were laid off, if you go back, does your seniority stay or does it reset? I'd recommend you go extra board with Estes. You're where I like to go... Texas. All the money is in Texas.

    WE ARE VERY LIGHT WITH FREIGHT RIGHT NOW THO
