I just got home after spending my first two weeks on the road driving for Dana/Suttles. So far I think I am going to like it much better than Superior, but I wont know for sure till I see my first paystub :!:
Thanks Mike for posting about your experiences. I would not have gotten into Tanker at all without all of the good info you post. And yes folks, I did put Mike's name and truck number on my paperwork so he BETTER get a BIG Bonus. :lol: Why did I leave Superior? When I started with Superior they had about 10 drivers out of Atlanta and far more work than drivers. By the time I left they had over 30 drivers out of the Atlanta terminal and trying to keep them away from home because they didn't have room to park all the trucks or loads to get them back out. The Dana / Suttles terminal in Atlanta is only about 100 feet from the Superior terminal, but there are a bunch of differences. So far there seems to be more work per driver available then there was at Superior. |

I've been at your Charleston, WV terminal last week Mike, got my tank washed off by a very friendly dude who popped out out of that little house by the wash there when i asked for help. One with a mustache and he dried it out in 15 min. too.
Oh yeah, i've gotten me a gig with Pneumatics now after failing to get a eye to eye with your terminal menager here in Charlotte.. :cry: Am glad to see youre doing good, you and Maniac..Dana is a very nice pleace to be at, but i must say that i've never made the same money am making now being where i am.. :D good luck. |
