    594.2 today. Picked up a preloaded in Auburndale, Florida. Made it up to the Kangaroo at exit 345 in Ringgold, Georgia. The Aunt M 's here has some fine chicken tenders at a good price. Anyway, scheduled to deliver at 07:00 Sunday at Bridgeton, Missouri aka St. Louis. Got about 480 left to run tomorrow.

    In the last 3 years I was with them, the only west coast load I got was after I had been through Poly's hiring interview and drug test and was waiting for the drug test results before officially being hired and give Crete 2 weeks notice....the next load Crete gave me was a 2 stop that ended in Seattle

    Most companies save all their long hauls for the guys putting In notices so they can try and impress them. Put in a 2 week notice and watch how fast there is an abundance of good loads for a few weeks.

    I submitted my notice today. This Reefer experiment will be over soon for me. Most likely head back to dry van with Crete.

    I never do this, but since I've been following along on your adventure, I will give you a suggestion, call Abilene. We have 3 current up to date threads going that have about 15 drivers here that post on a regular basis. If you read anyone of them, mine included, you will be able to gleam a good education about how we run. We are about 70/30 dry van to reefer. If you want any questions answered just ask or PM me. I don't want your name, I am not doing this for a recruiting bonus, I'd rather see a safe driver come onboard. I enjoy working here and make no bones about it.
     
    paul_4lp, Dinomite, 123456 and 2 others Thank this.
