    Why hijack my thread to post this?
    I never gave details as to what I bring home. So , what is the source of these facts?
    So the guy has a teamster like job, great.
    I take 2 weeks off for the holidays and 2 weeks in summer to camp. I'm happy with it.
    Go sell your wares elsewhere.
    I don't get why people feel the need to stir up crap.

    My apologies. I was reading your thread from the beginning. Just was looking for a company as a new driver who is getting my cdl in January. Not selling anything, was just looking for a good company to start with. Hope your blood pressure is back to normal.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    It kind of depends where you live and how hard you are willing to drive/be away.
    By all means, ask drivers you see how it is where they work, they may even be honest, but many will tell you it's amazing so they have someone to share their misery with.
    Your list is unfortunately more limited because you will be a new driver. You will need to go out with a trainer, almost where ever you sign up. Once you get that experience in, you'll get a wider pick of the litter .
    Keep your record intact, I hear Walmart fleet is really nice.
     
    Kenai Thanks this.

    I'm parked at Iowa 80. I'll call dispatch in the morning about any loads going to Michigan . If not, I'm told I'll be authorized to dead head back to GR. (Paid)
    We'll see.
