    By the sounds of it, this KAG outfit might be the next best bet if I want to move forward in the tanking game. I'll just have to really commit to the move. I guess if they want you right then and there, it'll be best to just leave the keys and fuel card with the friendlier dispatcher and tell them you got to ghost.

    At this point though, like other jobs I've seen, everything fuel hauling wise seems to be back up in the Denver metro. There's spots down here in NM with KAG. But it's all listed in their intelli-app as being regional/OTR. Decisions again.

    This milk thing and the six-night weeks are just getting tiring and mentally unbearable. Almost like nearing a repeat of that 2011 break-down I had.

    KAG is 5 -12's, will be weekends, and holidays, you can work a 6th if you want to make a little extra.
    Not hard, and they don't push.

    Pilot was offering Weds/Thurs nights off. Not sure how they'll do it. But anythings adjustable at this point.

    I'm off Tues/Weds. Other guys are off different days. I think Pilot would be pretty good, but they do have cameras in the trucks, KAG doesn't, YET.

    I kind of dropped the ball on Pilot due to unavailability of housing in the area and taking too long to get things in order. One thing I'm learning is while some companies want you to give a two-week to the place you're currently at, some, like Pilot, probably don't care at all.
    So, they told me to reapply in a few months and be dead serious about it. Guess that means "motel bumming" time again. Woo Hoo!!

    I heard KAG was getting driver facing cameras... If that happens they will probably lose half their fleet..

    Guess it's time to drop some bad habits then. Line in jack and some story compilations through the speakers.

    What fuel company doesn’t have cameras at this point? Mine doesn’t but we only have like 20 trucks.

    Northstar doesn’t. And there’s no plans as of now for it. Pretty sure most of the Sherwood guys would leave if they tried them
