    Yes. We have a few W900's but they are being lease purchased by the drivers in them.

    We bought a flatbed company 2 years ago. The drivers that were with that company are still here. They all are on a dedicated contract and have been doing the same thing for years. We see them in Pittston twice a year for their truck inspections.

    It was nice working with you guys. Good luck in your new jobs. I'm glad to see you all leave with a positive outlook. It says alot about you as a driver and the company as a whole. Good Luck!

    Hey Johnboy,

    Thanks for that info, looks like a few of the flatbed drivers are quitting. Thats where I am going, I start Monday with the flatbed side. Like I said before , this is a great blog and I want to thank yiou again for starting it. Even though you said that the refferal is more of a pain to get, I am still going to let Mort and anyone else that ask what a great guy you are. I will be looking forward to meeting you, dont know when it will be, but hopefully I will see you somewhere soon.
     
    The Challenger and JohnBoy Thank this.

    Thanks for the kind words. I really don't have any real insight to the flatbed side of Calex, all I know is they seemed to be pretty happy there. Good luck, and if you need any help about anything just ask.

    Well here is the reason I've been home for a week. They finally came to the house today and I went and took my physical. I passed every part of it without a problem. The nurse told me to read line 3 on the eye chart, then she told me I got them all wrong, until I told her I was reading the bottom line. I feel as though I am in a whole different world with my new glasses.

    I got my reload info this afternoon. I have to pick up one of our drivers in Bradenton Fl to bring up to Greenville SC to get his truck out of the shop up there. I'll pick him up then go up to Reddick Fl and load late tomorrow for a Monday delivery in DuBois Pa. I'm home a week and a day and have this incredible urge to go trucking. What do you think is wrong with me?

    JohnBoy There's nothing wrong with you, you just enjoy what you do for a living. Not to many people can say that!!!!!


    You know the saying (To much of anything is not good for you)
    Thats why i like being home weekly,after being on the road a week i'm ready to get out of the truck. But then after a couple days off i'm ready to get back at it.
