    They offered me a hotel. Should I take it? I declined because I thought that they would pull a Stevens on me and make me pay for it and make me stay in a room with another man.

    Where did you expect to stay??? You won't have a truck yet because you have not been through orientation. They won't make you pay for the room, but you might share.

    Does anyone here still work for them? And do you have any thoughts on them? My boyfriend is considering working for them. So far they sound good, not perfect but good. There is no such thing as a perfect company.

    Congrats on your raise. Did you got to work for Bruce Oakley?

    Whomever it it is you will have to start a new thread so we can all live vicariously through you. Lol

    Yep, i'm running for Bruce out of Little Rock, Ar... it's really not a bad place to be honest.. the only bad part so far is when you switch products and have to sweep out the trailer.. some products aren't so bad.. ie dirt/clay to scrap metal.. but going from roofing granules to frac sand is a biotch.. othere then that it's pretty much like tanker.. arrive at customer, scale, spend about five minutes loading, scale out, driver some miles. then do the same thing at the opposite end..

    they'll install a weight guage on your truck, and all of the trailers have them, so i don't use cat scales too often unless i load somewhere and they beat the heck out of my truck and trailer while trying to pack the load..

    what i love the most is no drop n' hook.. i've had the same trailer since Oct/Nov...

    I'm not much for starting threads, but i'll add to one all day long.
