Don't Know if you made any decisions about the company your going to run with, but I sure in the heck wouldn't go with J.B. Otr with them i was only getting about 1800 miles weekly. ran more of a regional route than any long haul. Would set two days or more between loads.
i know nothing of knight so I cant say anything there. Good luck

You might want to try Roehl because, i think, they hire students and newer drivers:

I will let you know what they say. I did check the new century site and they want 2 years exp. Hope Western will consider my 6 months.

1) Yes, please refer to the "who you drive for and why" thread. You will notice that i don't post between the hours of say 10pm to 9am which is when i usually am "on duty." You'll also notice that i didn't post all weekend until now because i worked all this weekend which is something that i, have reluctantly, begun to accept as "the way it's going to be." At least for a while.
2) We are talking about Western Freightways not western distribution. Although i would like to hear more about them as well.
