    I’ve noticed that they are removing all the stickers off of the old Holman trailers? And the trucks don’t say Holman anymore either.

    They do have some drivers that run to California and back to NY.

    Be prepared to go straight to the clinic in the morning. They do that first. Should do PTI and driving test first morning also.

    Pretty much smooth sailing after that.

    Bev and Mike run a good orientation.

    Any tips for starting out here that drivers need to know? I have 28 years experience just wondering about company peeves, stuff like that?

    I'm hooked to my first Holman trailer now. I've had it for a month or so. It's been alright. My load coming out of home time Wednesday is Lk Wales, FL to Clackamas, OR.

    They're not uptight at all. They do have driver facing cameras so you'll need to get a cell phone holder. The trucks speakers can be used for your phone. But I still just use my trusty old Blue Parrot.

    We have a pretty good deal with Loves. I think I get around 6 points per gallon.

    We use Qualcomm. Very simple after a few trips. Governed at 68 on cruise and 67 on pedal.
