    Thanks man... I sent Paul an email so we'll see the deal with sign on and payment deferment is if you get finished with orientation by the 25th or something like that..
    I run the speed limit or a little lower most of the time I'm all about variable costs and fuel is a big one... how long is orientation I forgot what he said..?? What truck do you run? And your fuel economy?

    I run a 2015 Cascadia...it'll be paid off late next year or early of the following year...speed all depends on how heavy my load is...I can get from 7.2-8.2...I usually slow my truck down anything over 35k...the load I'm on now from NC to NV is 25k+ so I just ran with the flow

    Cool, they only do refrigerated on the west coast....?? Orientation on Monday they seem like good people and the drivers I've talked to have had good things to say.
    Just want to go somewhere and stay and eventually own a truck.... What's the physical like? And I have all the endorsements plus TWIC... Four days isn't bad plus they pay all meals...

    Sorry for the late reply on the phone with dad....
    They make you lift weights at the physical and stress test kinda stuff??
    They still do a lot of ragu loads?
    How many people in orientation (average)?
    You happy with your take home pay and see yourself owning the truck.?
    They have a completion bonus?

    All good bro...no stress test just piss, vision and BP...I have done a few Ragu loads not a lot though just if I'm in the area coz I'm Dispatched out of KC. There was 5 of us in my orientation class...some I've heard had only 2 and one class had 17...oh yeah, I love it here and like I said this truck will be mine later next year or early the next...my balloon payment is $11k but there's a $10k completion bonus and the remaining $1k you can work off which is like 2 weeks

    That's awesome!!! I hope Paul isn't mad at me for not coming up last year.... but that commitment was not the best for me at the time. I have been doing mechanic work since February...and hopefully everything will work out for the best.
    You do the variable lease and that works good for you even if more is taken out every week??
    Payment a week for truck varies on year and mileage so most new trucks are four or five years??
