Steve Russell, founder of trucking company CELADON, dies at age 76.

Yes, GP does paper. Loads include big bales of cardboard, tissue & towels, and huge rolls of Kraft paper.

GP Crossett is one of my main hang outs. And my favorite Walmart.

I thought Georgia Pacific sounded familiar, picked up some tissue and took it to indianapolis a few days ago. Maybe we will cross paths down there one of these days.lol

Errol, would you happen to know if Swift offers any dedicated routes around Memphis? I'm originally from Byhalia, MS, and nearly my whole family lives there. I'd like to live in Desoto County, MS, but I'm not familiar with the options Swift has to offer around Memphis. I've heard about Walmart dedicated routes in Shelbyville, TN, but are there any routes closer to Memphis?

Thanks.

Currently I drive a dedicated Georgia Pacific account. I do business for GP as if I work for them. This account gets me home on weekends for at least 34 hours. I tried to get into this account right after my road/mentor training, but "they" wouldn't let me. Had to go OTR for a while.

Georgia Pacific, is that a paper company? If so, do you go to the Georgia Pacific down in crossett arkansas?

This is my favorite post, keep the posts coming!!

Congrats man, seems like yesterday you were talkin about that long dreaded bus ride to utah.lol

Santa fe springs isn't too bad, I just drove i70 east through Kansas and you are right about that dang wind!

Thanks. I have applied to Celadon. Unfortunately, Roehl isn't hiring in my area. But ty for the info.

Good luck, you can do it!

I would love to drive for CRST, but they are the only company to turn my wife down lol. A rolling stop got her a careless ticket four years ago. No one else has cared about it.

Celadon has great training and loves teams. You guys could try them out.

I'm not sure if this will help or not but I waited almost 2 years to get a job trucking after I got my cdl. As long as your company makes you go with a trainer over the road , you will be just fine. I don't think anyone is actually completely ready to go solo for the first time. Good luck!!
