Going to Boyd Brothers

I'm thinking of going tmc just found out about boyd I'm trying to get info as well.

 

As far as health insurance I pay 89 bucks a week for myself, my wife and 2 kids. That includes dental, too. Most of the trucks they have are international 9400's and prostars. Being new you'll probably get a 9400, but who knows. About 2/3 of the trucks have apu's. For the most part the trucks are well maintained and in good shape mechanically, but that doesnt mean that the truck you're getting will be nice and clean and smell good. Miles, if you want to be home every weekend don't expect more than 2000-2200 miles a week. If you stay out longer you might get more. Hometime is really unpredictable. I'm usually home 2 full days every week. But a lot depends on where you live, who your dispatcher is, etc.

 

I can answer any question regardin boyd. just shoot.

 

Are they staying busy? If you stay out 2 or more weeks at a time how many miles can you expect to get? Thanks.

 

U ask if we r busy. We ain't missed a beat since fall hit. Flatbed tends to slow sown this time of year, yet boyd is still hitting hard. I work four n half days n ended up with just over 1600 miles, plus load I'm under rite now, which is almost another 800 total. Downfall is that I'm leaving sun mornin, yet I been home since Thursday nite. That should sum it up a lil. Anything else, lemme know.

 

Was just wonderin which way u went. Tmc or boyd?

 

I understand all to well hour 62, but when u get those extra checks it all goes away. If ur just starting out where did u do orientation n when u go through?

 

So Boyd is sounding pretty good, im not sure I mind the governor so keep my tickets down. Is the home time pretty consistent, how long is orientation and can you pull box with them. any help be great, thx. oh and do they have a pet program.
