No lumber tarps for me. I am on a dedicated account and the only reason I have tarps at all i s to pick up a coil and bring it back to SC so I can get more custom chassis from Freightliner to haul back to IN/MI.

Got two brand new steel tarps!!! So excited to replace my old ugly ones. Pay no attention to the disheveled state of my catwalk. The truck is in the shop and I am rearranging ;).

We need TT stickers for our trucks
I've been saying forever that I would get hats, T-shirts, and all that kind of stuff made up but I never seem to get to it.
Darn life just gets in the way sometimes, don't it? Hahaha. Some swag would be sweet though.

Every terminal I have been in has driver parking and I drove my POV to training. The companies do not mind. We, my company, has terminals in Albuquerque and Denver and we train.

Brett has the tracker app under the menu tab. If we update that when we park for a break one can see who is nearby. The stickers would be cool too, though.

With Swift I tell them the zipcode I want to be in and the day I want to be there and they have got me there everytime and on time. The general rule of thumb is to request to be home a day or two before a date you MUST be home by, at least for Swifties. You never know how the load is gonna play out.

The Diaries of Randy @ Prime, Inc.
Thank you Allan and best wishes to you. Glad to hear things worked out for you in the long run. I am considering going tanker division but have questions about it before I go that route. I have heard that being tanker reduces the ability of the dispatcher to match the driver up to requested destinations, i.e. when I want to take days off in a particular city and need a load to take me there. Also I have heard that there can be more deadheading and more chances of there being gaps in getting loads compared to reefer. But I want to talk to someone here at Prime that is in it and can give me firsthand information.
Be blessed and be safe!
I see a ton of Prime tankers in the Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan part of my route. If I remember correctly, the tanker specific training is in the Chicago area. I have not seen a Prime tanker in the southeast. Does not mean they are not here of course. Schnieder has a huge tanker fleet and I see those guys everywhere. The nice thing about Prime tanker is that it is all food grade though. Oh, have you been to the Millenium Building yet? I do miss that terminal. There is not a nicer one in the nation for any company.

You are so right about not being folded correctly. I had just got these from the shop, they are now done right ;)
