    I didnt find TOO much information or experiences for system when i was researching them. so i figured id start a thread from day one and hopefully it continues on. i fly up to spokane for orientation this sunday the 28 and start orientation the following monday. so far, i know ill be on a dedicated account from las vegas to so cal with a random nw/canada run thrown in. im very excited for my new journey. hope to hear others experiences as well. until then, keep the rubber side down!

    I worked for them years ago on the pole fleet. I liked them and they were a good company back then (late 90s). I hear they have or are going to e-logs and have talked to a couple of drivers recently that weren't as happy, but you know how drivers can be.

    Well, day #1 in the books. Stacks and stacks of paperwork just like anywhere else. Everyone is very straight forward andddoesn't bs you. My pay is actually .12 MORE than they said it'd be with a weekly guarantee. Insurance is s bit pricey.. drive test is pretty simple, around the block. Straight 10 speeds in everything I believe. Dblr can give anyone an idea what the reefer (TWT) side is like. Oh after orientation day one they send you to do physical abilities test off site, basically lift this, move it there yada yada. Well time to watch some tv and kill a few hours.

    Been really busy the past few days! Orientation is like any other orientation. Lots of paperwork, and lots of information on everything. I got flown from Spokane to their bloomington yard (Fontana,ca) to grab a 2013 t660.. truck 2923, say hi if ya see me. From there, grabbed an empty and deadheaded home to Vegas for the weekend. Met my dispatcher Kathy, real straight shooter. So far everything seems great, I'm hoping that feeling doesn't go away. I can definitely see myself staying here for a long time. I'll try to figure out how to post a picture of my truck from my phone. Once I start running yall will get more updates!
