    Allow me to revise and extend my remarks:

    You can also listen to @TROOPER to TRUCKER. He usually agrees with china anyway. Lol

    I do not want to deal with the product much.. What is everyone's thoughts on Schneider and Roehl? I want to get a yr+ in my first company.. then go to Smith (in PA) if all works out

    JB Hunt won't hire anyone with less than three months' experience. Schneider will hire new trucking school grads.

    Huh?

    I run 3200-3400 on a regular basis. Scanned in 3900 last week, 8 days driving. Elogs, no violations

    JB WILL give a experienced driver and especially teams a golden ticket. I ran with them three weeks until I hung up the keys on OTR to medical wear and tear. They gave me everything I asked for except that I got a cabover. Oh joy. And I promptly took out a vehicle with it. I warned them.... They never listen. That is one reason I got out of cabovers in the first place decades ago. To their credit they called me every 3 months for years asking me back but I told em that blindness in one eye is kaput to DOT stuff. So that's that.

    Regarding KMac's Miles, that's really premium dispatching. Outstanding!

    The reason I snarked about 1500 miles or whatever it is was some months ago these forums filled with newbies thinking they can do half the miles each week accepting poverty in exchange for never running out of hours. Sorry Friends that does not fly.
