    And as far as the physical part of it I'm not too worried about, it'll keep me in shape lol

    it could. but soemthing could be worked out I think. Depends on the account? Maybe? Worth talking with someone. New driver the money is far and away better. As long as accessoral pay is part of the package.

    Plenty of dedicated accounts in Obetz. Dedicated is where the good money/home time is!

    On same account as Mickey. Day cab, home almost every night, off weekends unless you volunteer to work, and I make more than I ever did OTR and regional.

    That is something I will definitely look into. Is that something I ask about at orientation or do I need to contact a different recruiter or can my same recruiter help with that.

    If you are interested in dedicated, you need to do it before orientation. Once you sign up for a job, you are stuck in it for 6 months. Contact your recruiter and ask about dedicated positions. I know for a fact they are advertising on craigslist for our account. So they are looking for drivers.

    I would maybe call a O/O recruiter to find out from them. Tell them what your plan is and ask how to best proceed and go from there!

    Thanks I'll contact her tomorrow and hopefully it's not too late to get into one. If it is oh well no harm no foul. Do the dedicated run only day cabs or do they have other trucks they run as well?

    Our account runs both day cabs and condo's. Most of the accounts have condos, even accounts that are day cab accounts still have condos. Our account right now has 7 drivers, 3 have day cabs, 4 have condo's.

    both day and sleepers.Most by far are sleepers, some accounts are run the week out and then home for 34 hr reset or like ours and home daily. Sometimes we get stuck out on the road. Being in a daycab that means they have to put Jake and I up in a hotel when the need arises. Beats a truck anyday of the week!!
     
    jakecat22 Thanks this.

    Just wondering why would anyone move from beautiful San Diego to Ohio of all places? To each their own I guess.
