    Well I started with Knight's orientation Tuesday. Finished up today. Of course corporate was moving at one keystroke per hour, so I have the weekend off at home, get a truck on Monday.

    Congrats and good luck. Don't turn down loads and keep a good attitude! What terminal are you running out of?

    I'm out of Tulare, CA terminal. Ran 2900 miles first week, had the weekend off at home. Now I'm sitting in the terminal waiting for an A service.

    Good deal! I run out of the Katy TX terminal and on a dedicated account. I have been here for 3 plus years and they have been good to me. If you have any questions let me know

    Good on you.

    Yeah, corporate can be a pain, and it's also a pain to be in the shop, but that's only a day or two every couple of months. And you got to take care of your tools (the truck), and they will take care of you.

    Tulare, at the time I was there, was one of the best Terminals! Ihe mechanics were nice, there were clean bathrooms and a wash bay and always alot of freight moving. In Winters I would run I5 and let them dispatch me and only deal with Salt lake city once in a while when I would come home
