i started driving OTR in 1990 and haven't ever stopped. I've worked for
Monfort Trucking 1990 -1991
Southwest Motor freight 1991-1996
Harold Ives TRucking : 3 months in 1996 .23 cents per mile.. wtf was i thinking

US Xpress :1996 - 1998
Roadway Express 1999 - whenever i retire... hopefully
OTR driving is alot of fun if you keep a good outlook, alot of drivers have negative attitudes and are generally just whiny and mouthy little twerps
just remember to always to be safe and pay attention to what you are doing.
