    I am wondering the same. I would keep looking unless you have some reason you want to wait.

    OK, now we understand. I'm surprised you picked McElroy because you said you have no reason to stick around close to Athens and want to travel the USA. The guy at Melton won't remember, he talks to so many students every day. How many other flatbed companies did you talk to?

    that is true I do want to travel but in the long run it really comes down to whoever will hire me really for some reason don't want to go to new York city I know with McElroy I want have to go lol I also here if u prefer McElroy would keep you out longer then a week at time so I'm going to try for that and just because I choose McElroy don't mean I got to come back to Athens although I most likely will on some weekends get a room at the Hilton and live it up for 1 or 2 days lol I Heard melton was forced dispatch which if true would mean if they told me to go to new York city I would have too I have also talked to maverick and of course melton and McElroy and Ozark which just told me to call them back after a graduate out of all them McElroy pays more per mile 43 cents which includes tarp pay and I'm ok with that loaded and unloaded pay is the same
