There is very good rea$on to be happy with $$$uperior. My first week out on my own with just under 2000 miles in 4 days, with sleeper pay, boarder pay, a couple of hrs. delay, and of course home on the weekend. When I was assigned my truck, they even paid me to bobtail it back to the terminal.

You meet with Frank correct? He's a good dude. Big Giants fan. He's a little wired but a good guy. I have met nothing but good people through out. I too was out of CDL school. As everyone has said, clean shaven, neatly dressed and want a career with the company, not just looking to get into it to see if you like it or not or use it as a stepping stone. As far as equipment, we use Internationals, I was assigned an 03 but it is on the trade list and I will be getting an 08 in May.

[PocketChange]

Thanks Cyanide. I'm certainly getting a look at the big picture now. The hook is definitely in my mouth. Who is going to complain about $11k after expenses and 33 days off in roughly 3 months?

I start on Jan. 28th in Archdale, NC. Due in Kingsport the following Mon., Feb. 4th. I hadn't considered O/O before, but perhaps after I build some reserves, do a little more research, and of course, get some time in, I'll put some "serious" thought into it.

Hey Rich

was you that called frank today around 12 noon? I was on the phone when he told me to hold on. he came back and said one of the other drivers was on the other line..I already been approved by NY state for hazmat and Tsa I'm just waiting on the criminal background check which I know is clear..he said driver license check was done and it OK so I'm guessing just a few more days..

Good Luck!

Yes i spoke with frank today .He told me to call at the end of the week he said he had to wait for the ok i guess from the higher ups weather he is able to hire.He said he might need 4 drivers. I don't even know what the job is offering , other than what i read from the guys on this site.I just got out of school in december so i have to get trained and go through the whole process also still waiting for hazmat check .nsxman you sound like your ready to go hope everything goes well ....keep in touch

[nsxman2001]

Hey Rich

Yes I am ready just waiting on frank. while I was there talking to him in person on jan 3 I was also able to talk to a female driver on the way out she has been there for 5 years and she said pretty much the same things about the company we been reading on this message board. I have to believe that all of it is true she also said quote " I will not leave superior until I die" for me those words are very strong I highly doubt someone that is unhappy would stay stay for 5 years. she also said that every company has there faults but she has been in trucking since 1985 and superior is the best in her opinion..So yes I am really looking forward to working there. I will keep everyone posted

thanks

I wasn't on a list. I just got lucky and came in at the right time. They wanted 2 more people at the Springfield terminal and I was still in school so was told when I got my Class A with the endorsements, to call them back. When I did which was around Nov. 5th, I was on the road with a trainer the 24 of Nov. and as of last week 03Jan08 I was assigned a truck and sent on my own.
