    there have been a few new names I've noticed lately on the other end. didn't get the one Saturday I was in the middle of the call with the trainee doing the keyboard work getting talked through it so don't know who to watch out for yet lol

    this relatively new one dave is a little hard to talk to. not just from getting a guy on the other end which is odd enough but he's real quick on the gun with the questions and doesn't let me get a word in edgewise when I'm trying to tell him what he's asking about to start with. he's been there a couple months usually at night and I have a good rhythm on these calls when I call in and can usually get the information across to most of the girls in a manner that they need it without asking too many questions and he just screws up the whole tone of the call by asking things out of order as I'm trying to give it to him in order lol

    I think I have dealt with Dave, he says that he keeps a bag of chocolate candy in case things get a little tuff, being the only Guy up there, surrounded by women, says he hands it out like crazy sometimes, ---LOL If you know what I mean--LOL

    It works for him.

    Is the peoplenet route into moonachie a good truck route? Exit onto 3 to 120 to washington ave direct there? Looks easy enough considering where it's at. Saw a few trucks on the sat map on the lower end but not on the upper end closer in to the place. Anybody have anything better? Pickup the load home out of there in the morning. Thanks

    One carol place, moonachie.

    Close to to teterboro airport. After looking at it more don't like the peoplenet route. Found what I think is the path of least resistance. A few extra miles but I'll always run a few extra for less headache although that part of jersey that time of morning is going to be nothing but a headache. Snow supposed to start bout the time I get there too. I'll be glad to get the NE in the mirror headed home this week it's been a trying week.

    You are right fm. 3 to 120 which turns into 503/ washington ave. Turn right onto carrol place. Park on street and check in. If u have a 48 u might not have to unhook. Not a bad place to load picked up 2 times and both times took about hour n half.

    Ive gone there from the north side of jersey and ran 17 south to 80 east to 95 south to 3. Easier that way than trying to run city streets in from the north.

    I also do the few extra miles, just to make my life on the road a little easier, haven't been to that place, looked it up, so far my extension cord for this truck does not go that far--whew--

    Been working mainly out in the midwest this week----

    Hey guys, are there any drivers from Leesport on here? I wanted to know if there is any way of getting hired by Ashley fresh out of an accredited CDL program? I know the job postings say 1 year, but sometimes companies make exceptions...don't know if Ashley is one of them. I would be interested in the PTP routes...what is the current pay structure? Thanks!
