    I understand what your saying now, lol.

    Yes, this is a much better marketing tool than talking to a recruiter anyway. They dont even have recruiters, when you call you talk to safety. They are a small company with great word of mouth.

    I haven't started yet, scheduled to begin in 2 weeks.

    I'm not sure what their normal routine is on Regional but I'm guessing you would see the house quite often in Va. I'm going on their Coast fleet so I'll be out a couple of weeks at a time.

    I feel your pain.....try coming down Joe Palooka with 20 odd tons of vinyl film with no engine brake....and then having it pop out of 4th.....and then having to chase it three gears up to get back in control. Fortunately it was near the top of the hill.

    I would be careful about asking for a new one. You might wind up stuffing yourself into a tiny sleeper!

    Anyone have a pic of the new trucks with the small sleepers? I'd like to see what one looks like.

    Thought most of their trucks were 5 yrs old or newer. Are you guys local, do they use older trucks on local? Even then, ive driven old trucks and the jakes still worked. Wonder whats causing the problems with the jakes?

    It's referenced on Craigslist, on our company website, on twitter and on facebook, all because I answered an ad on craigslist in June of '09 for a job, then about the same time I found The Truckers Report to post my goings on here at Calex. I wonder if I can get any royalties from them using this blog? Probably not, but hopefully we can attract some good drivers.
