    Well, I certainly liked everything you've said, do you know if they reimburse for trucking school tuition? I understand they have APU's, do you know if they have inverters? Do they hire out of Florida, or have a rider or pet program?
    Lots of questions, I know, but I couldn't find the info on their website.
    Thanks!

    Trucks do not come with inverters, but if you buy one, our shop will install it for you. Riders are allowed, has to be a family member over 12(?) years old. No pets allowed. Also I do not believe we hire from Florida. You'll have to ask our recruiter about that and the tuition reimbursement. She's very upfront and will answer your ?s honestly.

    They could possibly hire you out of Florida because I know there is freight going down and out of Florida. Don't take my word for it. Only saying this because I've seen them hire out of Texas and it's not on the map in hiring blue so I guess is depends. Jacksonville is northern Florida so you would have a better chance I would think. I know they haul a lot of Florida orange juice out of Orlando was just down there 3 weeks ago.


    if they do I'm 110% you'll be reefer division no doubt about that!

    Well, I guess I need a atlas cause I follow their route to a T and dot my i's. Was charged $70 in unauthorized tolls that honestly I shouldn't have to pay for if they're routing me over them for delivery or pick ups. I learned my lesson this time.

    Idk I called somthing like up in NY by Syracuse and pembrok or somthing but I know when I was up there I was on their route. It even says, in the Manuel to not go out of route or there was just a message saying do not go out of route on Qualcomm. As well as I asked a night guy( this was a separate occasion) because I hate going through Indiana if I could stay on 70 and cut up through 65 and he said " I wouldn't, I would stay on route." Did it any way and didn't hear a word. I guess if I had one little wee complaint this would be it but I'll learn and move on. One was $47 the rest were little crap $4 here and like $5 there.

    Any ways, this Arizona shipper in Wharton is TIGHT if you have doors 6-8. I tried to sight side it but the electric pole, metal bump poles, and fence are all to close so you can't do that. Then I swung it around, did a blind side 90 for the first time ever, go out once then had to wiggle and turn and wiggle to just get it in. I'll get a picture while I'm sitting here. On my way home with this 105 mile load to CT to get me close and I'm sure I'll dead head the rest of the was. Did 6 weeks this time. Got a Keg and and pig roast with family on Saturday. CANT WAIT!

    I take 70 to 65 all the time when I run ikea furniture from Maryland to one of the Chicagoland stores, and no one has said anything to me. It's so much faster than 70-33-117-30-65, the way the Qualcomm GPS routes you. Those restricted toll roads are a pain in the derrière, especially when I do that run. But anyways, enjoy your home time with the fam!

    PS - I can tell by your truck number that they will be selling yours soon. My old truck was 15 numbers higher than yours and they sold it 2 weeks ago. They put me in yet another blue freightliner, a 2014 with only 127K on it. Nice!
