    I'm a company driver. We do have a few O/O's and L/O's but after all these years I rather work for my home and family than a truck. You're right though, we are a name here and not a number and at least for me am treated very well.

    I've heard of Florida Mining, just not real familiar with where it's at, Reddick's just a hole in the wall kind of town south of Gainesville, north of Ocala. They have a really awesome motocross track there though so they've got something going for them.

    John,

    Yes it is. I've already spoke to them and they load up to 9pm at night. I told them I'll be there around 2pm and they said I would be loaded by 3.

    I was in OKC a week ago today and it was 68 degrees and beautiful sunshine. What a difference a week makes.

    Well, I shouted out "Johnboy" on the raido the other day, you were south bound on 95, I was north bound. If it was you, I heard you shout back. One day I will buy you a cup of coffee.
    Hope you have a good weekend.

    Yes calex is a great company.. been with them for almost a year in march... no complaints.. Me i am A Solo West coast driver for the company. i only had one breakdown in the summer time and it was hot in nevada LMAO. As Far as idle policy no they dont have one. The Newer Trucks Are very good to the fleet. Most of the older trucks they are selling or getting ride of so they can bring in more new 2011 trucks.. i think they will test the APU's out with those... Take care of the equipment And have good time management and you will make money with the company.. Don't believe me Call them and see for yourself
