I start at sammons on Monday 4/16/12
i will update this at least every couple days since there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on here about them.
So far everyone i have talked to their has been great and answered all my questions and got me the info i was looking for and recent settlement copies and such.
I really like the no negative settlements and salary built into the expenses. being able to pick your own loads and find your own customers is also a plus..
as for the Pete in my Sig 2 engines in a little over a year as put a hurting on me and really made it that i will never own a Detroit again, either way i am excited about this new venture

Day 1 of orientation went well. First thing this morning I picked out my truck, and took a road test, its a 08 Volvo 730 with a cummins 450 HP and 13 speed. Truck as a fridge freezer and set up for shore power and also as the ICON system. I don't know much about the ICON system but i will research it and learn.
They gave me and my wife a lunch voucher for the Forest Lounge that is across the street and the food was delicious. After lunch i watched 4 videos and did some paper work and that was it for the day. Tomorrow i am suppose to meet every department 1 on 1 and get an understanding for what they do in the company and when i need to call them for what.
They put me up in the Days Inn off of exit 96 nice clean hotel. so far all is goodAttached Files:

Day 2 i got to meet every department in a one on one setting and get all my questions answered, i also signed the contract on the truck as well as the authority contract. Got assigned a 2012 Fontane 53' step and all the securment equipment. Had to have a few things fixed on the trailer and i am already to roll in the morning,
They paid me $100 for orientation and my lunch, hotel cont. breakfast, and dinner is on me. they also give a sign on bonus depending on your psp and mvr.
Also today i got to download thier load board software so i can see what loads are availible and also got an account for internet truck stop.
