    I got a buddy that has been considering Heyl. He's burnt-out on the 3-4 week out thing. I'm still trying to steer him to Heyl since they get drivers back to Florida quickly and are liberal on home time. I told him to negotiate this new truck I'm driving into the deal. He'd prefer something home every day but that seems to be rare around Daytona. If anyone knows of something let me know and I'll pass it along.

    Parked next to a casino in Northern Kansas on US 75. 373. 5 today. 2.5 hrs to get offloaded. Sent MT call and heard nothing from Heyl for 2.5 hrs. I finally sent a message "what's up?" Then they promptly sent a message having me head up to the Akron Terminal to pickup a load there that goes to San Antonio.

    Pretty sure with NFI you'll see all east coast and alot of NE. Any West freight will be railed . Have you thought about Lessors?

    You know I wonder if your big stall out last week with no freight was more about your "complaining"
    about miles ... Think someone in the office might be slowing you down ? Should be hard to figure out who / truck you are by reading this thread...

    also do you think 4.5 months is enough time to really know how they fit?
    im sure crete's .43 is appealing ... The grass being greener & all

    Only Heyl knows why they ran me weakly the first 2 months and then again now. I made it crystal clear that I must be run hard to leave Crete and they still wanted me to come here. If anyone doubts it call the head of safety and ask him yourself. I don't desire to put names on here. I didn't choose to negotiate with him that is who They chose to negotiate. Should have been the head of operations. Why would they then run me good when I was ready to walk at the end of the first 50 days? Shouldn't they have let me walk then? Some companies appreciate driver's pushing for productivity. Crete did. Knight did. Conway didn't. Heyl I don't know. You'll have to ask them.

    I believe I have been quite accurate and fair with Heyl on this thread. They are a good company. I have not worked for a bad one.

    I Think alot is Elogs & HOS rules.. Conway dispatches at 45 mph ... A good 20 mph under our max 65 mph travel ... Few loads like ups & CWF are @ 51

    I like Abiline express ... YardDart & Johnboy are having success with them ... That said you probably should stick with Crete ... Your going on fifth job change in 3 years ...( I believe) anymore Job hopping and I would think employers might start to take issues with it

    ^^ just my 2 cents
