    Thanks for the info. I have narrowed it down to Swift, Knight, Gordon Trucking and now Prime. Are the owners of Swift and Knight brothers? Also I heard that Knight bought out Central Refrig. Is that true? I have been reading this on the threads.

    So they don't pay for you to have electronic passes thru tolls and scales?

    Been here over 5 years, and never fingerprinted a load. Never will. Been there, done that, back when I first started trucking, but that's all over now. :yes2557:

    (Well, I guess I should never say "never." )

    What is fingerpointing a load? Getting up to date on all terms so when I get ready to assume a driving job I know what I am looking at instead of standing in front of other drivers with the deer in the headlights look.

    fingerprinting a load = driver unload via hand(pump) jack, or just physically hand unloading each box, tire, or whatever else is on the trailer.

    Thanks. Is there a post somewhere in here that has all the terms/slang that all you drivers use or is OJT.

    There is a site with all the jargon explained, but it is secret.
