From Day One - Abilene Motor Express (Richmond, Wytheville, VA)

You office slacky! Seriously, good luck! I couldn't stand to deal with a bunch of whiny truck drivers all day.

I think runningman has been gone for a while. John Boy is still there and might help.

 

You may wanna come over to our main thread, Johnboy is a trainer that could answer

I tried to get on there a couple years ago and they told me they didn't have a Trainer in my area even thou trucks run by here everyday (us 35)Gallipolis, OH would love to go thru there training sound like a Good company even told them I would drive to Va and park my personal truck there

 

OK I am not a job hopper by no mean. And with the understanding freight is typically slow this time of year, my current company is starving me to death and I just started with them in November. Last week 1600 miles week B4 just a grunt over 2100.I am on a 697 paid mile run picked up B4 daylight Monday can't deliver till noon Wed. sitting on it now as a matter of fact only 111 miles away.and it's just Monday evening. And its been like that for past 4 weeks with every load . ANYWAY....what is
Pay per mile $
Average miles per week $
Hometime policy
Do I have to beg for my earned Hometime
Cost of health insurance $
Any kind of retirement match $
Average age of equipment
Respect their drivers or just another company that say they do.

Autos/manual transmission or
both.
Major running lanes
how often can I expect to get west coast runs.
Elogs or paper prefer Elog

Just when you think you finally found a really good company,turns out not so good.
Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
