Can I get some honest mileage from some current drivers?

    I was excited about Transam, but lately I have heard too many stories of mileage being cut and then pushing their lease program to the point of being a pain in the butt. It makes me question how finacially secure they are.

    I think you have to drive team for at least 6 months. After spending 3 weeks with some of the guys in school, I would leave them at a truckstop if I had to team with them.

    Fresh out of school, a newbee, a rookie, a fng.:biggrin_25519: I really don't want to make a mistake about which company to go with. I've recieved a pre-hire from Roehl, Transam and Werner. Right now the plains are to leave on Friday for WI for Roehl's orientation.

    I applied with Windy Hill, I guess they don't care much for Roadmaster. They hire grads, unless they're from Roadmaster, then they need 6 months of otr exp. Looks like a good choice though.
