    they usually bus you or fly you. the 20 10 program is a team of 3 drivers where 2 are on the truck and you rotate out every 10 days or so.

    I have never heard of then flying anyone.... They will bus you or rent acar for you. 20/10 is their premiere load teams ... The truck never stops and every ten days another driver gets in... It is a 3 person team.. Not every terminal has them. you work 20 days every month. and you are driving....

    Has any one heard from Beans?

    Haven't heard anything from Beans. I was hoping to do the 20/10 but recruiter said it would depend on if 2 other drivers were available in my area.

    What do you want a degree in? You will probably find nothing else compares to trucking, lol.

    i just got back from training for 28
    days my trainer told me that 20/10 plan is not good,. you will not make any money. I am being paid beans as it is. I plan on leaving in a few months.
