    IMHO, Celadon relies on gimmicks to cover some of their shortcomings. Just my .02

    Well, that's certainly one way to look at it...their CPM has always been low. I feel that's offset by the free clinic, low cost cafeteria, free dorm, low cost benefits, etc.

    But it all depends on your priorities. Not that long ago I couldn't have cared less about benefits/clinic; I wanted a good paycheck.

    Something the Hot Chick brought up in one of our conversations re going back is that they're now guaranteeing $900/week minimum for when freight and miles are lousy. I acknowledged and prepared to counter, when she beech slapped me with facts and hard data--the whole time I was there I only made less than $900 5 times (she had pay stubs and I think she would have busted out a Power Point if I hadn't quit arguing).

    Hot Chick wants to leave.

    Zoomy, let me give you some "hints"

    BIG G- TN based, APU/inverter, .40/mile with monthly bonuses.

    HOLLAND- APU/inverter. Satellite tv/radio, coast to coast, call for pay rate

    Lessors-APU/ inverter, coast to coast.

    There's also several other mid sized to smaller carriers that will take care of you. Don't sell yourself short with Megas. There's a lot of better options out there. Much better. Better pay, better equipment, better treatment.

    Why am I hearing the theme from "The Six Million Dollar Man?"

    There's a couple companies up in Michigan with absolutely BEAUTIFUL loaded equipment that'll run you too. Heartless' assumption that "OTR is going the way of the dinosaur" is way wrong.

    No augment. I ran coast to coast with Celadon and they're bigger than Heartland/Gordon and they do a lot of intermodal too.

    Now I gotta get moving--I'll make some calls today I promise, just let go of my leg.

    Ever Fresh is now called Split Rock. May as well add Van Eerden to those. I know all of these haul office furniture out and reefer stuff back. Seems to me there are others, but the names escape me right now.
