Orientation At New Legends Next Monday
Topic 31114 | Page 1
That's great to read, Steve.
Staying home gets boring real quick.
I wonder if not teaming will feel different.
Best of luck and keep us posted.
Well, I'm bored, and need to restock my retirement head start cash roll. So Friday I applied at Legends, where my last ex-co driver drives for locally, within So. Cali. Sent in all my needed doc's and pics of my FMSCA account.. Showing all 0's nothing on it. All set for 2 days orientation $250 paid, pee test 1st day, results by 2nd day then should be all good for a little drive/parking test, tractor assignment.
When asked what I was looking for, I said NO northern states, like to stay on the I-10 / I-40 route, so they have an open, Dedicated Home-Depot run from Cali to Texas and Oklahoma, great, sign me up! hahaha $0.59 cpm which is fine, 1 penny less than I was getting, I can live with that fine. Told him I can stay out 2-3 weeks at a time, after 3 ya need a lil break from the truck.....At least the sleeper/cab will be only me no teamin' stuff again ( he asked )
From what I KNOW, they do keep up on truck maintenance, Terminal is in Rancho Cucamonga, not far down the Cajon Pass from me. And I will bring tractor home with me as well....Can't wait to get back in the groove again, bankin' them "C" Notes
Hope you'll update . . ?!? Or???

Sounds like a good deal. I hope you will be happy with your new gig, Steveo! Best of luck this Winter avoiding the nasty weather in the mountains on i-40 through AZ and NM🤞

I can only imagine the horror of having to experience what happened on I-35 in Fort Worth on February 11th.
Found out in the "Welcome Email" things will go fast ! 2nd day after orientations done, will get a truck and DM , and paper work for 1st load ! wow in 2 days hahaha But I WILL need to divert by home to get my stuff to put in the truck. Already called recruiter about this, since am borrowing buds GMC Yukon for orientation, can't leave it parked there for 2-3 weeks !
Recruiters working on it, but should be no problem swinging past home to toss my stuff in and go. Can organize once my drive times done. Especially since I will be allowed to bring the truck home with me, on hometime, another +
