    If I were to team I would not go anywhere but OD if I had a choice. I had family work for them and they still to this day recommend them.

    ODFL - only becuse of the ridiculously high pay. It's disgustingly high. Every mile that my cruddy little Cascadia rolls down the road, 68.5 cents is offered up to the government to have their share before I get the leftovers.

    Then I go to sleep and my wife does the same thing. At the end of the day, we sit for a minute and refect on the day, knowing some other poor team just did it for half the pay.

    I love my dog enough to have somebody else take care of it while earning twice the pay of other companies.

    I'm really torn between Conway TL and Covenant...
    Kinda tossed UsX because they are basically now all auto's ..

    Covenant would train us together -My wife likes that idea.. Me not so much

    Conway is closer to home and seems to have less negative comments.. I like their vacation policy ..

    Both have standards trans, both pet friendly, both allow inverters.. pay and benefits I'm still a bit confused on between the two..


    We want a company that will try to take care of us and train us well We want to try and stay out about 8 weeks at a time and then a week off.. We would like to run mostly terminal to terminal so a company with lots of terminals and are all over the country and Canada would be interesting to start ..

    My Dog and inverter to run a fridge and a manual transmission are pretty non negotiable to start ..

    I'm going to say this nicely with out getting banned. You are very weird and creepy. Not joking about the word creepy.

    Been here 2.5 years and still haven't figured it out? Does your dog dictate what TV shows you watch?
