As far as equipment, everything I've seen, except ONE truck, was par with my truck - '99 International Day Cab. Mine just has nothing "air" about it.
Thanx again. I'll be giving them a call to touch base. -
That sounds like a good gig. Wish I could "help ya out" by helpin myself out heh.
cheers -

That helps a ton. Unfortunately, big cities don't accept it. When I started the hiring process for Asheville, I had to forget my ff 1/2 and go through THEIR academy. It was the same for Charlotte. It's ignorant, but unfortunately true.

Monday: Holiday. The company asked for volunteers for Monday "in case" work came in. I volunteered. No work Monday.
Tuesday: ON CALL
Wednesday: Load out to LI NY
Thursday (today): ON CALL
Friday: Who knows - hopefully a load so I get at least TWO loads out this week.
*sarcasm* - at this rate I'll be paying THEM to let ME work, in 2 weeks.
SO, I called Venezia today. I'm ineligible. Not enough experience and the DUI isn't 5 yrs old yet.
I also called my dist. manager and told him I'll be looking for part time work for Tues. and Thur.
At least he was cool with that and stated they would work around my schedule for the other company. Now, FINDING another company, that's the hard part. He also told me that in the 1st week of June they "have been told" several big jobs are opening up and it WILL pick up.
grr -
I've been pretty negative about things thus far, in regards to pay scale.
Well, THIS WEEK, has been completely opposite.
Been runnin the wheels off. lol
Better money too. Hopefully the weather will play along now and we can make that money! -
Good deal 2 more days left, get going, We're buzy !

T'was a very good week. CHEERS! to hoping many more to come.
Of course, the wife is pouting about not seeing me much this week!
It's good to be loved -
Gotta update, keep it fair.
I've been workin like crazy. Things have picked up. I'm respected and treated kindly by the other drivers.
Have "upgraded" (sic) to two different trucks lately. Found out today that it's lookin like I'll be upgrading to one of the NEW Volvo's. I originally hated this idea, but, upon finding out that the best Internationals are still garbage, I'll take the Volvo because I'm gettin beat to death daily and it's startin to catch up to me and I'm losing an hour or two per day by driving the slower trucks.
*ETA*
I was against going into the Volvo because I'm new at driving and didn't want to get into the Automatic truck already.
IF I get into it I'll replace the pic I have now in my sig line.
*ETA,again*
Looks like this one:
