    The only thing that always bothered me about them is why do they think they are the elite fleet? Who the heck determines that?

    Well "fleet" rhymes with "elite", so it sounds cool.

    Well hello to all, had a busy paperwork day and road test, spoke with the leasing admin, and opr. dirctor.
    So far they seem busy as hell (they are owened by National Beef) so we haul almost 80% of there loads. Company driver are paid on a flex pay scale
    0-375=.36 cpm
    375-600=.34 cpm
    600+=.32 cpm
    all dead head is .32 cpm
    no orientation pay (and the guy doing the orientation is kinda an ###).
    Seems to be ok so far, but time will tell.
    the recruiters need to give more info but got that all strait today.
    90% of trucks to get now is a brand new kw t700, very nice trucks.
    They are gov. at 65 on both pedal and cruise. They dont have apu but they come with a 2500w inverter. and talks are going aroud about getting electric apu, in the future.
    They use the blue tree system dont know nothing bout it yet but they say its 10x better thatn qualcomm.
    so far so good will up date more tomorrow.
    good night God Bless and safe travels.

    3 weeks and no word??? Makes you wonder how good it is or if Nat'l is also trying to keep drivers from posting here, I've heard quite a few companies have warned drivers about what they say on here...
