    I used to work for them from 1999-2003 before I went into the military.
    They are a very good outfit to run for, miles are not to bad and the people in the office...Nathan, Scott, all of them real good and they will get you home when you need to. Freight was not too bad they had a few places I care not to go back to, but I had a very good time working there.


    For the other drivers that asked if they hire out of NM and MA... They do have some freight that goes to those states but its rare. They used to run to the Wal-Mart DC south of Albuquerque and had freight going down I-40 to AZ or CA. That may of changed by now. MA They will run to Bosten at times, rare if they do. They stick around PA and NY and that as far north as they run on the NE coast. FL No freight that way at all...maybe once in a blue moon.

    I used to be a trainer with them so if you have any questions please ask.

    You must be flying a plane at 4g a week.
    I see other experienced drivers have been ignored when they apply.

    I think the point he's trying to make is that 4,000/mi week for a solo driver sounds a bit high for a 62 mph truck to run legally. Your own personal situation really isnt relative to the math.

    Am I speaking wrong Tao? If so, then my bad.

    If my math is correct LML is teaching students or solo drivers how to drive 4092 miles in 66 hours. How is it possible to deliver loads and do that many miles in a week without cheating on your logs? I am no truck driver but my math is based upon this format:

    mph * legal time * amount of days one can drive=

    62 * 11 * 6 = 4092.

    Is this realistic or am right when I say a solo needs to cheat on his logs in order to achieve this. I would think teams would do it but solos?

    Mathmatically, that is a correct figure, BUT, if a truck is governed at 62 mph, it cannot avg 62 mph. In order to do that, from a dead stop that truck would have to go from 0-62 mph as soon as you press down on the throttle...and as we all know, that dont happen. It would also have to maintain 62 mph up/down hills, mt/fully loaded, and we know that that sure as hell aint gonna happen either...well, downhill sure, but not up. If a truck is governed at 62, go ahead and run your miles then do the math, you're speed is gonna be averaging somewhere in the 50's.
    Not only that, if the good ol boys in the coop are checking your logs, and they wanna be ##### about it, they can check the miles between two stops on your log and average your speed. If your in a 55 state and your showing your averaging over that by the time you logged, they can site you for speeding.
