Starke! I had a braincramp. I see their white reefers all of the time and have been by their yard a bunch. Just couldnt think of the place. The equipment looks good, though.

Talked to their recruiter last week and Yes they are currently hiring OTR southeast regional drivers. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks
I just see their equipment in truckstops and it looks pretty new and well maintained. I'll talk to some of the drivers for you and let you know next week what they say.

On Davis, if I remember correctly they only run 3 states or so (FL, GA, SC I think). Equipment looks sharp. Heard a couple of their drivers chatting on the CB for an hour or so, and seemed pretty happy.

Also, saw Ruan had an ad in the Lake City classifieds last week (they have a terminal there). Advertising home every day if you're looking for something like that. They have a decent website you can check out.

Hey Jon P and Rumrunner thanks for the Info on Davis.. Hey Jon P thanks alot for trying to get some information from drivers for me. I appreciate that. Yea from what I have heard the Davis drivers are home every other weekend and do mostly run NC, SC, GA, FL. There equipment does look pretty nice.. I hear they are getting Kenworth T660's as well as a few Pete's in there. Right now I am sitting and waiting to hear back from them.. I ran into alittle glich with my experience. Davis is looking for 2 years OTR and I have close to 2.5 years regional/OTR. My former employer reported my experience as local due to the fact that most of the drivers were home every night. However, to be considered local you have to remain 100 miles or within that techniquelly. I was running about a 400-500 mile radius of Indy with trips out to KC and the East Coast occasionally. So I definitely wasn't local and when someone sees local they think your driving in the city. So I am trying to get this issue resolved. My recruiter from Davis was really nice and the guy he forwarded my stuff onto to be processed is suppose to get back to me with a final answer on all this if he can get it resolved. Either way I have to get back with my former employer and resolve this issue immediately. I have a few other offers out there so we shall see.. Thanks alot guys and I will keep yall posted as to what happens. Drive safe out on them big roads!!!
