Yeah, I don't think I could do team driving for a year. I was going to have to suck it up to share a sleeper berth with someone for 6 weeks...maybe even 10 with Wiley Sanders.
I've considered Stevens Transport. OTR reefer is at the opposite end of the spectrum for what I wanted to do, but they do have regional, dedicated accounts in Florida I could get after 60 to 90 days OTR. The 16 year Stevens driver I talked to seem to be a straight shooter, and one of my TDI instructors was with them for 15 years and had good things to say about them.
As always, we appreciate your help Chinatown.

TransAm doesn't have the best reputation, but training period is only 10 days. Can keep a trainer longer if you want, but 10 days is the policy. Can try it and not mention Cypress. If it does come up, say you didn't realize you were an employee because you were only there a few hours. Sometime, in trucking, have to withhold information to survive.

"Blue Eyed Indian" is Navajo Express. Probably worth a phone call.

Maybe had a stop in Pensacola. They do multiple stops on the way to California; that's why the paychecks are good; get paid extra for each stop.MericanMade and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
