    No as long as you get out here and run and show them that you care about getting the load on time they will run you. Now there are times when freight is slow in some areas and you won't get that 2500 but then the next week you can turn 3300. Take the good with the bad.

    It really depends on where your getting the load. You might get a 400 mile run but then they are just setting you up the next load that is a a 1700 run. I can say this freight is slow out of the meat patch and in NE, right now but it will pick up always does.

    Will you can say that 1700 + 400 = 2100 avg of 1050 so they missed it by 50 miles. They are good weeks and there are bad my lowest week was 2300 miles.

    You mean the 15th?? Or do you already have a CDL? The reason I ask is I was just on the phone with Mickey and now slated in for the 15th as my first day of schooling. I hope everything from now to then goes smooth because it sounds like one of better companies for sure. Sure not all roses, but no company in any industry is in my opinion.

    Wait except our government, they are grand. :) But most Texans probably have a similar viewpoint on that. Speaking of Texans I hope the instructors don't get angry when I show up with my Buckeyes hat on, I hear those Texans have a couple small time football teams in that high school league called the SCC or something like that. ;)

    Ok maybe it's just me, the fleet just got a message on the PEOPLENET saying that we are in the yellow on four catergories. Unsafe, fatigue, and drug and alchol ( really with this one??) and vehicle crash. Come on people. Please for the new student or recent grad take pride in what you do. I think it's time to clean house with these drivers that have constant points adding to their score. Especially DRUGS AND ALCHOL!!!! Come on!!!!!!!!!! It's not the company fault for any of these. Your on ELogs for God sake, plan your trip and stick to the plan. I am mad at this because it hurts me cause I run for the same company as them.
