    At WFX you're not just a number. They know your name...sort of.

    Well Bolt got rid of his unicorn, and I have moved on from TNI.
    We've only been with this for 2 weeks counting orientation which started October 31 with night in cedar springs Dallas motel and heading to medical clinic to get drug test first thing Tuesday morning.
    The motel was very nice, the drug testing was snafu because the clinic wasn't expecting us on Tuesday. It took 5 hours to get in and out just to pee in a cup.

    From there, drove to okc which is their headquarters for van and refrigerated division. They have an oil field division in midlothian Texas too.

    They offered a rental car which would have had to be turned in as soon as we arrived at hotel in okc but I chose to have my daughter drive me because I have learned to value my freedom and the ability to say, "dueces" and spin gravel if a situation is too awful.

    The okc hotel was so-so and the food was an insult but I'm not sure the staff at WFX knew how bad.

    That's enough for now. I just wanted to get the thread started. More to come.

    Did Bolt change her name to Volt?

    Don’t rain on her parade, man. We all need a little positivity in this industry, especially starting with a new company.

    Well it's going to take a minute for me to give y'all the scoop on WFX because I've been busy and it has been fubar from the git. So I will do it in installments.

    1st. Pay. 63 otr. 60 texas/I 40 and below team. They offered me 63 but I asked for texas I 40 so I had to straighten that out up front. So I got a load to Cali and back... yay. Then I got a load to SLC and I thought okaaay struggling for miles, but I was sucking cotton through Price canyon this morning. Next load the pre-planned was to Kentucky from SLC.

    Instant gratification. Manager calls with apology and "they" must have forgotten to change my team. Not buying it, but replaced KY load with AZ. My theory is they were testing to see how much crap I would tske.
