    3100 miles for the week. Glad to have my truck back with all the things I need. Iowa to Arizona then back up to Michigan. Then back home to North Carolina for a few days off. And to see if anything's left of my house after this hurricane.

    So, been following you on this thread since the beginning and have even asked a few questions. The question I have now is, do you still think this is a good company to work for and are they still treating you good??

    It's the best company I've ever worked for. Sure you will have those days. But overall I am very happy here.
    If you ask for something, They will make it happen. Car blew an engine? Need a down payment for another one? ASK! Very good chance if you've been there any length of time you will get it. Driver's mom died. SAV PAID for the funeral and takes $75 per week until it's paid back. That's some of the things they do for drivers. If you pick up a trailer with a bad tire or 2. Just stop in Love's or TA and have it replaced. No questions asked.
    Very easy to work for as long as you don't do stupid stuff.

    Oh no.
    I personally don't care for the west coast. But we move quite a bit of freight to Washington and Oregon as well as some California. Quite a bit of Phoenix where I just came from. We do almost no Northeast. We have an occasional load that goes to Jersey. But they are few and far between. In almost 2 years I've never had an Northeast run. Lots of Texas lots of Arizona lots of Wisconsin and Minnesota some Georgia. A little Tennessee and Kentucky. Think Interstate 35. You'll run that quite frequently.
     
    Vic Firth, Lonesome, POS#2 and 2 others Thank this.
