    No he doesn't.

    The thing you have to remember about DM's is that they have a job to do too and regardless of what you may believe, they are not the ones who choose your loads for you. The load planners do. That's not to say that they don't have some influence, but largely they don't control your loads. Many of them have their favorite drivers which they may work a little harder to keep moving, but mostly they can't play favorites. The main thing is.......Don't be an A-hole, because it will not serve you we'll.

    if you are just out of your evo's they won't run you hard. My first "non trainee" check was for 800 miles, then went up from there as they got more comfortable with me.

    Do you still have to fax in your paper work at Roehl or have they upgraded that now?
