    Hey Kabar! Same here... been busy, busy, busy! Left the house... went to Maryland and then out to Salt Lake City. Then went down to Phoenix from there and then to the Chicago area... Now I'm heading to Calgary.

    Canada again, I am still in school my 2nd week but I applied at Marten last friday waiting to see what happens. They just opened a terminal in Phoenix, so I am hoping I get a call next week. I have prehires with Swift and Prime, also CRST but not sure if I want to do tream. Marten seems to be a good company. Keep us posted on your miles. Also do you know anything about their training how long do they usually keep a recent grad with a trainer? Not a big concern to me just wondering.

    I used to like Canada, a lot of drivers don't want to go up there. I think they are missing out on good miles and its a great place to drive outside of winter. (Quebec is excluded from my comments:biggrin_25524:)

    Sorry AZ CAT, Marten doesn't do students. Unless they changed it you will need 6 mos OTR experience before they will talk with you.

    Understand Kabar, thanks for the reply I was hoping to get on with someone like yourself and learn the ropes. Hopefully you are still there and can take me on as a trainer. If you do that???

    I've done it at other companies and will do it here if they ever decide to do that again.

    Hey guys, hope all is well. I'm on home time right now. The miles are definitely good here. In fact I've had to tell them to take a break because it's been too many miles lately.

    LOL... nah Dryver, just saying that I have my limitations. I mean I like to run, but I don't feel any driver should have to run him or herself into the ground to make money either. I hit the road this morning, on my way to Philadelphia
