Default My wish list:

OK, basically my wish list is as follows with higher priorities starting at 1 and lesser priorites going down the list as the numbers accend.

1. All the miles or more that i can legally and/or physically handle; I like to drive 11 hours a day.

2. No appointments or deliveries between the hours of 1a.m. and say 7:30ish-8am.
Mostly drop and hook if possible.

3. Preferred tractors in this order, KW, pete, western star, international, sterling, and frieghtliner last.

4. tractors should be governed to about 80.

5. No qualcomm.

6. trailers should have the air-slider system for the tandems.

7. on board APU (prefer webasto or electified system over generator system) OR hotel reimbursment.

Now, i know there probably wont be any one company that can satisfy all my requirments, but there must be a few that can satisfy some or most of my requirments. Do you know of any?

NOTES:
Also, please keep in mind that i am willing to:

1) Stay out for long spells; I don't want/ or need to go home too often---once or twice a month is good.

2) NYC or northeast not a problem if #1 and #2 can be met.

3) Don't mind unloading if #1, #3 and #4 can be met.

4) Willing to run refers(translation Marten or small fleet) if #1, #3, #4 and #5 can be met.

I'd say that you are a little late coming to the game with this "wish list"; Christmas was in December, and Santa Claus has returned to the North Pole!!

Better Luck next year!!

I didn't say i was expecting ALL my requirments. Realisticaly, i know most companies are going to be able to meet all the requirments but i know there's got to be companies that can meet some of them.

Remember 1 is my highest priority and then 5,6,7 are not as high.

In all seriousness here, if there is a job such as you described, and there is an opening for a driver, then you are not likely to find out about it here. Most any driver who knows of such a job would be applying for it, and it's highly unlikely that they would tell you about it!!

A rookie that wants to be breastfed and have his pick of the litter, and obviously doesn't believe in paying his dues to get where he wants to be, some time in the future. Next thing is this wish list won't come true, and it will be ALL the fault of a certain company. Let the company bashing begin. I'm sure even the dirtiest recruiter would be laughing his arse off if this guy gave him a call. This poster has to be trolling!

Actually, after I got through reading his post, I remembered another troll that we once had who went by the handle "Colonel Toon"; I called him "Col. LooneyToon"!! He showed up right about the time that idiot "Da Kine" graced us with his moronic presence!!

It was almost exactly the same load of cyber-manure, just with a different handle!!

In your list of preferred tractors you neglected to have VOLVO. As far as I'm concerned Volvo should be ranked in at least the top 2-3. Drive safe everyone.

P.S. This is my opinion of course.
