I miss having the nice truck a whole hell of alot, but I surely like having the big paychecks more...
Airborne Thanks this. -
Just got my call from Phil at PGT...they had a cancellation for Monday so I get to start Monday, rather than a week from Monday....gotta cancel with Watkins and Shepard, KLLM and Falcon....
-
Grats man. Good stuff.
HAMADOWN Thanks this. -
Not sure if you got it figured out or not, but you should be able to get home no problem. They have a detroit terminal right off of I75 I believe.
-
yeah, they don't promise every weekend but most drivers are home every weekend with a load onboard to be delivered on monday.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of flatbeding.
HAMADOWN Thanks this. -
Go with the flatbed. Remember W/S ditched me THREE days b4 orientation! The old 'no trucks' excuse. Good luck.
Airborne Thanks this. -
I've been hauling boats out of florida, mid-atlantic and gulf coast, pretty much jersey to texas. I've had a cdl (b) for 10 years, former crane operator/rigger, but only 6 months in the tractor. I have an apartment in northern Virginia just west of DC and planning to move up there. Do you guys think PGT will take a look at me or do I need more semi time? I would like to stick with the oversize or specialized end of the biz.
Airborne Thanks this. -
If you're a gambler: As you have an A now; don't mention the other experience was B. It may slip through, it may not. Is this dishonest? Yes. But you have to look out for yourself. HOWEVER; The best course is to get two years in with the outfit you're with now. THEN you can pick and choose. The economy should be a great deal better by then.
