    Well, I made it back for my Upgrade!! Took the Smith System Class, took my Driving Test ( 92 in 14 minutes) and have finished most all of the Computer Based Training Modules, All that's left is Don Lacy's Safety Class, Meet my FM and get my Truck Assignment....OH WAIT!!! There are no Trucks!!!

    I've heard all kinds of stories floating around, but the most common one is....We have 40+ Drivers here waiting....Company and Lease and No Trucks!!!

    Anyone hear the same thing?

    Yep. It came down as a threat to Company Drivers who don't make MPG, not on time, preventable accidents and citations.

    It stated that there are 43 people this week waiting to take a truck from a Company Driver that can't do their job properly

    No trucks? How is that possible? Everytime i drive by there there appears to be hundreds of them setting on the yard.

    You leasing or going company? Im kinda thinking about leasing a truck through them but not too sure now, if im leasing want a brand new or less then 30,000 miles on it and it ain't new ain't paying full price.

    Why are there late loads, are they scheduling them too tight, solo drivers, the weather?

    When they tell you to come back the next day show up early. Don't wait for them to call you, show them you are ready for a truck. :)
