    Lol no more company truck, as long as you have a good idea what you are doing you should be fine, just remember you cannot think like are ack like a company guy any more, no more chilling at the truck stop, don’t try to have your truck look like tmc, yes keep it clean But don’t do like some on all they do is park on put on a light show, then when it gets repo they blame the carrier for not having any loads for them, I have been out year going on almost 28 years, I don’t know everything but I know a few things, anytime I can help I will, one thing about me I don’t want nothing in return, my grammar is not perfect but as long as you can understand what I am saying to you we good, be safe and good luck with your truck, please if you can make sure you get one with warranty on it, even the npl are what ever you can get, no paccar are max force engine, if you get one of them be ready to spend some cash really really quick,

    So we are allowed to book off of DAT or Truckstop.com or just Greatwide’s board?

    Any load broad that you can get setup, know with dat you will have to set it up in your name are a different name great wide will not let you use there mc, so if you go with dat they tell you up front about it, I have dat and some free ones, truckstop the same, also you can book jbhunt loads from there 360 broad, Uber also, ask your dm for the mc number also ask for the agent list. And pass word for there broad is your driver I’d and your truck number,

    Yeah I checked it out this afternoon after the Orientation. Not really liking what I’m seeing. Only two loads in my area both going to Florida. So how did you get DAT then if you need a MC number?

    They will setup you up with out on mc as you, you only need the mc when you call to book your load from the broker like tql are coyote, are which ever one you choose to work with, are you under Atf are Dallas all of them use a different mc, your dm will give you the right one but we can use all of them,

    So what’s stopping agents you call to set the load up from snatching it from under you?

    You’re fine mine is Atf, mavis is good that side most of those agents have better loads than Atf, my agent I use most of the time is mavis, I gross over 285,000 last year on most of that is with her, she is not the best but she is good when the good is good,
