    My solo career at Abilene lasted all of six weeks but I trained (more like teamed) for nearly four months. The miles are very good. Should average 3000 miles or more like 6000 every two weeks since youll get paid every two weeks. The freight is very good and fairly light. They do a lot of Hill Phoenix, makers of refrigerator cases that go to the supermarkets and Walmarts. They truly go all 48 so your miles will be there. I could go home every two weeks. They were good about getting you home too. Real good company. Just make sure you got your A game because the safety director doesn't put up with a lot of "rookieness". Talk to Sally Arndt or Sean Moriarty in recruiting. I am shaking off my rookieness at Trans Am. Good luck to you Ftothek!! Check out the Abilene thread headed by Johnboy and Scooterdog. Both great dudes!!

    Just thought I would give a little update. Southern Ag is probably the best company I have ever driven for. I had to leave on Jan 8 I had some health issues come up and was lucky enough to get the truck back to their yard and a bus home before going into the hospital. I had to have a couple kinda minor surgeries and I am doing much better now.
    All that being said the head of the company Hugh Nall is a very good man that cares about drivers. I had got a 600 buck sign on bonus when I started and they tell you up front if you quit before 90 days they will take it back. I was over 60 days but under 90 days but they did not take it because they said they knew that I would need it during the illness I was going thru and even got everything owed to me and sent it to me immediately.
    They are good people to work for. I always got plenty of miles and NEVER sat waiting on a load.
    I would love to go back there but I am sure they look at me as a risk after getting sick and I understand.

    Yeah I have emailed Dexter a couple times about coming back and haven't got a response.

    I have Crohns Disease I was upfront when I started it's on my physical. It's okay some places are not okay with that. It's my fault really I got a little issue and didn't deal with it like I should have. Now I have and I am good. I learned a lesson.

    Going to drive for Southeast Carriers. I have heard they are a good company. They have some big shoes to fill because Southern Ag was a terrific company. I am looking forward to E Logs at southeast carriers though, I really don't like paper logs and I can get miles on e logs.
