Western Flyer

And after 90 days, wife can ride with me. Taking the pet too.

 

Flew in to OKC yesterday. They put me up in a nice hotel. Had drug screen and physical this morning. Orientation tomorrow and then dispatched out.

 

A few questions if you don't mind???
Where do they run??
What's out/home time requirements??
Pay???
Thanks!!

 

They run I 40, I 20, I 10 mostly is what I was told. I live in Southern Oregon so they run all over. They advertise 10-14 days out but it will be more like 14-21 for me since I live outside their regular lanes, but at least they get me there. Pay might depend on experience. They are really busy and need drivers. Check out their website and give them a call. I'll post more as time goes on.

 

Spoke with Gail today, did app so now I wait and see!! Thanks for your info Scubaghost. BTW, what kind of truck did you get??? What's it governed at??
Maybe we'll meet soon! If you pm me your name I'll mention it to Gail tomorrow ok!

 

Trucks are governed at 68. I got an 06 Columbia double bunk. They have a variety of trucks. I heard a rumor that they are going with all T2000's eventually. They will keep you busy if you wanna run. Been there 7 days and have only run OK, LA, GA, MS, AR so far but they do go about anywhere. They are really busy with one account in particular. Logging is easy. I log it like I run it. That's what the safety man wants you to do. So far so good.

 

Went to NC and SC and back to OKC. Getting some home time next week. Picking up tonight and dropping in Salina KS, then picking up somewhere around there and delivering in Seattle, Then pickup again and home for two or three days. They are running me very solid. I run legal and still get great miles. So far so good. Really nice people. Heard I will be getting in a new T2000 in a couple of weeks and they've been really good about fixing this 06 Freightshaker.

 

"New" T2000? They have quite a few T2000s, but they're ex-Stevens trucks, mine was a 2006. As of 6 weeks ago, they didn't have a truck newer than an '08, so "new" may just be "new to you"... not that there's anything wrong with that, just saying.

 

Full moon in Libra today. Like the Twighlight Zone out here. Stopped for the night. A driver pulled out of the fuel island and ripped the front bumper off a Swift truck. He tried to drive off but too many witnesses. I am liking WFX. Might even be the best otr job I ever had. And yes ronin, I guess it won't be new new but new to them. Not sure yet. They are working on having all the same color and style of trucks which I'm sure could take quite a while.

 

Unless someone has a question, I won't post much unless things change. I like my DM, like the freedom to run the way I want(doesn't mean I can slack off, but I don't like sitting still). They really keep me running the way I like. It's a good fit for me, but no driving job fits everyone. If you like to run, bring it on. And yes, I do it by the book. That's the good thing. Get the green light 90% of the time. If I ever get pulled over, everything will match up. No fine for me or the Co. Still get the miles. 3000 plus every week running legal. What more could you ask for?.....Ok maybe hit the lotto, but seriously, this is a decent job.
