    haha, your so funny.

    But seriously, a laptop with thousands of songs with playlists for various genre's and moods of music is far more flexible, has no commercials, and has no worries of losing signal. Set it up to play for hours at a time and when you stop to take a break or fuel up, change the music if you want to.

    Looks like theres mixed feelings here. Trans am is a good company to get experience with as a starter company. Just don't go through their cdl training here on the yard take a course where you have to learn to shift gears first so if you ever want to work for another company that has a manual its like riding a bike you can never forget how to do it. The school here just has autos on the training course.

    Never heard of a regional account with TransAm. Their main business is taking loads out of the meat plants in the Midwest (Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa) and running them to the population centers in the East. Pick up what ever they can as back hauls. More to it than that, but it is it in a nutshell. Good luck.

    The only account they have regional is texas, Oklahoma. If your new to driving then they are good as long as you don't lease. I switched from them a month ago to navajo and am loving my new job. You will sit alot at trans am just to let you know. I hardly sit now and if I do I get paid after 2 hours shipper or receiver. No fighting for it required.
