I Have worked for Celadon for 10 years and 8 of them as an owner operator. I Dont remember a thing from orentation because frankly i didnt care then and it was long ago. After the first two years running my own truck i went to Landstar thinking the grass was greener. I couldnt afford to put tires on my truck with Landstar. So back to Celadon!! They say the average length of haul is 1000 miles and i agree! I may even average 1200 not incuding the ones to get me home. I often go a week running my own schedule with open drop and hooks and no appts. Super chill. In response to getting paid back for my repairs.......if i got paid back for them that would be AWSOME! I own my truck and i reccomend anybody who is considering being an owner opp keep at least $10,000 at all times to cover some expenses. Im not getting rich driving a truck but with Celadon I do just fine. I couldnt imagine running over the road with a better company! I have never had a problem the driver managers couldnt handle.
