    Them getting you a teammate out of Laredo shouldn't be a problem at all. We run a lot of freight in and out of there, makes it easier to get you home too!! Cant vouch for the team miles but they keep me running hard. Just have to keep your ETA/PTA updated and let your FM know about any delays as soon as possible. Im always down there so maybe we'll bump into each other one of these days.

    Anthony how's your time off? Are you often in Laredo or are you usually away? My husband just got he's CDL we are doing a deep search on this companies that provide the trainings. I am sort of scared he wont be home much or worst, not being worth the pay for the amount of time he'll be away.

    Dedicated: Service a particular customer. Go to the same locations for the most part.

    OTR: You service all of the customers USX has.

    Hometime: For OTR you get one day off for every week out. Dedicated depends on what they have worked out with the customer.

    Milage is better on dedicated.

    You can't route yourself.
