    That sounds like a sweet gig T_Trucker but I will have to pass for now. I actually had 5 job offers but narrowed it down to 2. Im kind of ready to pull the trigger on 1 of them but was just a little indecisive. Thanks anyways and keep on trucking!

    Just an update to anyone reading this: I have now talked to "Tow614" from the old SouthEast Carriers threads and he has helped me out tremendously with all of his knowledge about SEC and his now current job with Big G Express.
    After carefully doing my homework of the 2 companies, I've decided to scratch FreyMiller out of the equation and have now narrowed my choices down to either SEC or Big G Express. But TBO, I pretty much know Im going to go with Big G Express. The insurance options and Tow614 info has helped me to make my decision. I also like the fact that the company also still operate manual transmissions and not the automatics like the prostars that SEC is switching over to. Any Big G Express drivers out there?

    I drive for Big G and know Tow, I have been here almost a year and love it. I live close to Shelbyville,Tn. So hometime would not be a problem, I know we have freight to South Georgia, We do run a lot of Northeast but not really the bad places, A lot of Harrisburg/Allentown area and Central Jersey.Almost all the places we go are in industrial parks.What Tow told you is probally correct. In addition we are probally going to be 80% KW T680's by next year,these are awesome trucks,IF you have any questions PM me or Tow and we can answer them

    Thanks for the input Tenn I See Trucker...I have actually been following the thread that you started about BGE and the only reason I started this one was to compare BGE with SEC. I filled out an application for BGE last night and hopefully I will hear something from them within the next couple of days. My ONLY question that I could think of asking (that Tow hasn't already answered) would be "what kind of truck would I MOST LIKELY end up starting with there"? It really doesn't matter with me I guess but like you and Tow614 mentioned, those T680's are nice!

    UPDATE: Just got off the phone with a lady by the name of "Casey". She seemed very nice and helpful with any questions I had (in which I really didn't have any at the moment). I Emailed her my medical card information and my long form. She told me she should have an answer for me by this afternoon but the ONLY thing Im worried about is if they (BGE) don't count the last 6yrs of my driving time (which was in the 7 states of new England) as OTR time. The other companies I've applied at, didn't make a big stink over this but Casey did indeed ask me if I only ran the New England area (in which I did for the last 6yrs). Im not going to stress myself out about it but I mainly just don't want them to start me lower than .40 per mile because of it.....Guess we'll wait and see

    I would agree with you 100% but I guess some companies "claim" that its considered regional (driving the New England states)....

    That's just a scam to be able to pay you lower...claiming less experienced..

    I feel the same way tbo. Depends on what they come back with after they check my background and everything what I'll REALLY decide to do (BGE or SEC). I do have OTR experience but that's well over 8yrs ago (drove for M.S.Carriers for a couple of yrs before Swift bought them out)...
