    I have them hanging inside my headache rack right now. I'm pretty sure I'll have to use them again tomorrow as I'm heading back to Reno. I kept the bags they came in but I'm thinking a couple of laundry bags might be a great idea.

    @earlybird1104 congrats man. Go to the lounge and introduce yourself. Tomorrow go get your tractor inspected (I know it's new but you would be surprised). You can probably sit in on the ELD class too. Meet your recruiter, they can help you speed things up. Talk to people in this orientation class and ask what they could have done to speed things up. You don't want to be sitting till next Friday trying to get out. Welcome aboard!

    That's because leasing on with a real company and doing it right takes time and patience. One more reason why rushing things lead to disaster.

    Texas can give you good direction on vans. I bought a flat 6 months or so ago and am thankful I did. I'm toting my van this week and next and I can say nothing has changed. That said, to me van here is a dead end but Texas does good at it and does long planning on his loads.

    As in ? The loads just aren't there, or the rates are low? Or both

    To me, the loads just aren't there. The rates may equate to the loads not being there because I always felt they were cheap. I've been spoiled on the flat side now. My biggest thing on vans was that I thought the deadhead was ridiculous. Toward the end my dh was just astronomical and the rates never could make it up. Now that was my experience but other guys claim better. Pulling the van this week and I can say sadly nothing has changed.
