    I was going to lease it on with Knight but that didn't work out due to a couple things. I will be running for a carrier called DSI out of Arkansas instead. They pay 72% of the load and FSC on both empty and loaded miles. I go to orientation tomorrow.

    I'm confident in these guys. They have a good reputation around here. This my first night sleeping in this truck and using the APU. It is quieter than I thought it would be. I had it in on battery protect while I was gone seeing as it does have a refrigerator in it. I'm bored and ready to get back on the road.

    Got my first load. Pickup Saturday morning and go just north of NYC for Monday morning. My reload picks in NJ and comes back to AR.

    Fair view or Fairfield. They were going to send me my load info but they were unable to get my HUT sticker. Tomorrow they are going to get me on something else. I saw a two stop WI load I really liked so hopefully I can get on that one.

    Good luck M, I've seen a couple of DSI trucks around the NE.
    Do they have a load board where you can pick where you are going or do you have a dispatcher assigning loads?

    They assign the loads. For both the O/O and company guys you pick where you want to run. Seeing as I was unable to get my HUT sticker I chose a multi stop load to CO with a final near Salt Lake. It pays me 2100.00 all in or 1.54 on all miles including the deadhead from Harrison to Rogers. Not too bad.
