    Honestly, I wouldn't go to them with a year's experience. Why are you leaving your current company?

    Reason I'm saying is I plan on getting on with PTL after a 7 year absence from driving to get my feet wet again. With my circumstances, I might stay with them as I'd have the setup to deal with them. When I drove for them back in 06-07, I left them for Ozark. I ran with Ozark until I couldn't stand being away from my family back then. Kids are adults now and wife is where she could go with me. I don't think PTL pays deadhead or bob tail miles. Also, expect long loading times that they normally don't pay for. Not all the time, mind you, but often enough if you don't have patience for things like that.

    Try Westside Transport out of Cedar Rapids IA. With a year of experience I think they can do a little better.
