    I didn't get there until Wednesday night and left Friday around lunch. I am now sitting at home until tomorrow afternoon. I'm leaving here at 5 or so and heading for Harahan, LA. I got the pictures of the bridges I just have to upload them when I get back to the truck.

    I'm looking to get on with PGT, my school teacher recommended them also.
    I have my permit right now with hazmat, tankers, double/triples. Also got a TWIC card and pasport already.

    Does PGT ever get run up into canada? How is the 25% pay thing working out?

    Long as nothing prevents you from going into canada then you can go as much as you want. 25% works out pretty good. I had a load the other day that paid me .77 cents a mile.

    that's a pretty good pay right there.

    My entire background is clean, just seperated from the navy after 6 years. I got tired of sitting over in the middle east doing nothing but chasing waves.

    I know you haul mostly steel and parts, but do you ever get or scene hazmat?

    No we don't haul hazmat. Southern Pines another company also owned by Sudbury(PGT parent company) hauls the hazmat. Don't get me wrong about the pay every load doesn't pay that much. I had a load coming out of Laredo, TX that paid $1.04/mile to the truck and I only get 25.5% of that. I hopefully never get another load like that again the pay wasn't even worth tarping it.
