    Just looked over some notes. They call it 3states cause most of the runs are OK-TX-CO but that lane also include KS-LA-MO-AR.
    They also have I40 and below. You primary stay south of I40.

    I heard this from the third party recruiter. I think I'm going to just go with reefers. This is all I've ever hauled and because I have kin folk all over, I like the accessibility of being able to truck to them. Some are older folk now and cannot travel easy as they once did.

    Keep us all posted on how it is going. Thanks for the reply and happy Thanksgiving

    Lease drivers have a starting pay depending on what fleer ur going to be in and ur experience for example flatbed starts at 1.17 Iam at 1.24 with out even turning a mile cuz of my experience. Another thing I would warn is the third party recruiter should be not completely trusted. Reason being it seemed they did a lot of empty promises and the “ya I don’t see why that would be a problem “ with several of the people in my orientation class. Their is no southeast regional FYI that was specificities stated to a driver out of Georgia that was promised that. The wfx direct recruiters seem to be the most direct with accurate info. I think some of these third party recruiters are getting companies mixed up

    3600 miles is what I’ve ran my first week here for thanksgiving week. Don’t think this is the perfect holy grail company but they seem pretty good to me so far. Like another driver said let’s see in 3-6 months but I think it’s gonna be the same

    I have to ask, with the rates being so low, why this company?

    That's pretty darn good miles. And it's reefer miles?

    How long are the runs on average?
