    All the ACT threads appear to be by L/Os. I'm interested to hear from the company driver perspective. Anyone? I have enough experience in trucking to know a company thats good to it's L/Os can be horrible to it's company drivers. We tend to get all the loads the lease drivers don't want.

    They call it their reACTivate program. It is where they hire a driver that has been off the road for a bit and put them out with a trainer for a week or two. After that they run as a company driver for 60 or 90 days then they have the option to lease a truck or stay company. I do know they are picky about where you live at for company driver positions.

Another 40K + load still at 7.3 mpg..Just delivered waiting for another adventure.They warned me it was gonna b slow till after the 1st. so iI knew this slow time was coming..I like the fact they were honest with me up front. Keeping my fingers crossed.........
