<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Young_Gun, post: 4877062, member: 75519&quot;]Still with barr Nunn, and still think they&#039;re the best otr company I&#039;ve worked it.&nbsp; Are they perfect? Hell no, but they aren&#039;t a mega carrier and that counts for alot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now on to your questions!</p><p><br /></p><p>The current speed is a whooping 64 mph. It was raised recently from 61. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a message from the CEO a couple weeks back telling us new equipment is on the way. Pro stars with Cummins isx and condo Cascadias with dd 12 automatic transmissions. Not real sure how I feel about that one. </p><p><br /></p><p>However each are coming with inventors and battery powered apu. As of now only team trucks have built in inventors. And no eta on the new equipment. However.... Brand new drivers are getting new trucks outta orientation. Lucky ducks. One got a 2900 series. (Newest series of the fleet). Condo Cascadia. Tried to sweet talk myself into it. No luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>All 10 speeds for now but as fore mentioned above, autos are a coming. </p><p><br /></p><p>Idle is basic ambient temperature sensor governed. </p><p><br /></p><p>How hard is it to get into Florida? Not very. We have a crap ton of freight that comes down here. FedEx, DHL, whirlpool, and ups being the top. They let me BT from Jacksonville or Miami to go to Pasco.&nbsp; I have been late getting home a few times but not bad considering.</p><p><br /></p><p>I live unloaded for the first time the other day in what seems like 6 months. Seriously... Can&#039;t remember my last LUL.</p><p>Doesn&#039;t mean it won&#039;t happen or that it wouldn&#039;t happen a couple times in a row. Just saying it&#039;s been awhile. </p><p><br /></p><p>I stick to guns when they try to bull crap me into nights. For the example : had a load that finished at 13:00 they had a split that would meet me at 00:00 to run 591 miles. I did it. Miles were to good to say no. Next morning I delivered and waa going to shut down by noon. They had a pre plan that had a split set to meet me at 22:00 for 401 miles. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s when I said no, and my team leader knows me by now and didn&#039;t argue. Had a pre plan the next morning a 7:30am going 300 miles then had to run off 148 mile dh for next pu that goes 555 miles tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>So in short, yes you will run nights but if you want off them... Tell your team leader. They are good about switching you off for a week or so. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far general feelings of the company, they haven&#039;t changed from what I wrote. Months ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some days I&#039;m happy as hell. Others I&#039;m browsing Craigslist. But I&#039;ve happier here than anywhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
