    Tell us about the KW you have. If it's road worthy you might want to find a good O/O and set up a business plan and go that way. It would be great if you got that tractor free and clear and it still has many miles left on it.

    well sometimes you cannot help getting sick, it'll happen. best to happen while at home/school then out on the road and not getting medical help.

    if it is going to be Prime as you say, best of luck to you. keep us up to date on your progress..

    You said something about three months. I wouldn't go anywhere without planning on staying a year. And I wouldn't leave even in a bad situation without six months.

    IMHO. more than four jobs in three years won't get you a second look from me if I am doing the hiring.

    Nick - I am not to sure I would go to covenant. 30 days or so training, then mandatory 6 months Team Driving at .14 cents a miles, you get .01 more if you have hazmat, and you get .01 cent more if you haul a hazmat load. Read the DAC report section too, not a lot of good there.
