My wife and I came over 3 months ago from a large package company based in the South that decided to buy up a family owned LTL company about 5 years ago.

We love it here. The grass has actually been greener for us. We get to run team and they leave us alone. Every driver we've met here has been friendly. Central Dispatch has been easy to deal with compared to what we are used to. Sure there have been some things we've had to figure out. But all in all we like it here and we like all of you that we have met.
 
Good to hear you're settled in Silly Sam + Mrs. Silly Sam.. You guys may not run East or Midwest much but if you do maybe this will help. Indy has moved + St.Louis is about to. Any future problems or questions just ask. Nice to have a team on here.
 
Yeah we found out about terminal moving our first weekend here. Since then we have stayed on top of it.

Thanks for the heads up. Friendly people here.
 
I ran team for big E once. I found out that it's not the right choice for an alcoholic but it's good for someone trying to get on the wagon. Our truck didn't do real well for a light sleeping kind of person. I remember going airborne a few times in Louisville.

That is a nice terminal. I use to run a turn bid into it. That Road Ranger truck stop right off the exit is a nice place to stop and get a coffee as your leaving that yard. People are super and nice in there.

never been there yet, ya , anything I think would be better than that piece of crap on broadway, really nice motel, close by from what they say
 
I went to stl the first Monday they were open. Nice outfit. No onsite fuel. There's a pilot across the street for fuel.

The motel is just decent at best. It's the pear tree inn across the street. The old days inn was better.
 
Mildew, Stark, can you 2 use your contacts and see what my chances are of going on the road in Tulsa? IDK if you guys know anyone out of that barn but Sysco is getting set to put cameras in the truck, looking at the driver on a loop, this is where I draw the line! Any help or info is appreciated, both you guys know I think Estes is the best, I worked for Fredex Freight, I just want to be on line some how.
 
I'll help anyway I can. I wish you were on this side of the country because I know some some dudes with some brass :butt kiss:
