So I finished training a week before Christmas and after upgrading to solo, I had a choice of pulling dry van for Tennant or reefer for Prime. I chose Tennant. I liked the areas they cover. Although they say they drive all 48 states, most of their business is southeast and Midwest. 1st week 500 miles, 2nd week 1400 miles, after I deliver this next load on Monday 2986 miles. I hope for more weeks like this past week.smile.gif

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.

Reefer:

A refrigerated trailer.

That is cool, congrats. I thought Tennant was mainly a flatbed carrier. So, do you drive for Tennant, or Trekker Logistics? You mentioned the choice of Prime, too. Or did you mean Henderson? I know that Henderson has a deal with Prime, or is owned by Prime, or, I have no clue, actually. lol.

My main choice is TMC, but Tennant is still on the radar, too, so I have questions about the Trekker, thing, and how that is going to work out, wth their partner, Henderson, being part of, or working with, Prime. I hope I didn't confuse you, because I have sure confused myself.

And again, congrats on starting your new career, and I hope you have many many many safe miles ahead of you.

Thanks. Yes, meant Henderson. I work for Henderson, went through their school and did my training pulling Prime loads (reefer). Henderson bought Tennant last year and announced it when I was going through their academy, but at the time they weren't sure how they would work them in as it was still new. Even 3 weeks before I finished training, I inquired about Tennant and they were still unsure. They said I might have to start on the Prime side before I could go to the Tennant side. But 3 weeks later, they were putting just about everyone with Tennant. Tennant won't let us do flatbed until we get 1 year experience pulling dry van or reefer first, but they will train us for load securement once we do. But, I like pulling Tennant so far
