Any new info on anderson trucking service out of Minnesota? Scheduled to goto orientation on Feb 25th. I've been following pathfinder and I'm glad he started his post.

I could give you lots of stories about Anderson and there not all good! If I start I would probably be banned lol. I read Pathfinders post which prompted me to join and all I can say is hmm happy for him still new. . . and he needs to really watch what they are doing to him he may be a bit oblivious to it right now or he could be one of the 1 out of 10 drivers thats doing extremely good with Anderson... NAH! unlikely lol!
My husband is not doing good! It was a fight and struggle all the way his first 6 months was the worst at ATS because he was on mileage and it was terrible with them or as he call it terror stricken lol! Now he's been there for another year and still no progress. If you become a lease driver stay on percentage you make no money on mileage and very few runs are low miles to make the money. But they know how to count your money they only give you enough to barely make it. This is what know as a lease driver's wife at ATS.

I am not going to agree nor disagree to work for ATS . My husband might get a good check once a month which when you average it out he would do better doing local and with much less stress for him (and me!).

Like someone else said ATS is just another big time company and you are just a number and you might get lucky like Pathfinder and possibly get treated differently.

Hope this helps

I had talked to them because they have a specific turbine division hauling the big wind turbines and that's what I want to do (ya so, I'm a tree hugger traped in a truckers body.lol)
They wouldn't hire me though. wanted specific turbine experience or flat bed which I don't get because if you see those huge blades coming down the road they aren't on flatbeds. Nothing to do with a flatbed in my book. I didn't want to run there otr regular fleet, to many bad stories.

Thanks for the info.It seems most lease drivers dont do well anywhere. Pathfinder is a company driver and thats what I'm looking into. I didnt go to the school another job wanted me to goto sso I need atleast a years experience to get on with then. Thanks What does your hubby say about the comoany drivers? Hows it working for them?

Most of the bad stories are from lease(flease) operators.I'm trying to get more info on the company drivers. Who do you work for now? Thanks

are those things like 100ft long or more? ive seen alot of them staging at rest areas, i thought they were airplane wings

and far as ATS , im not sure, i put an app. in few weeks ago, havent herd anything...i want to do heavy haul somewhere

I had been pulling mobile medical scanners for the last 7 years. I recently moved and bought a truck. I'm currently not driving. I've been enjoying being with my son while working on this truck and looking for a company to put it on with.

Them are the ones. They also transport the tower in sections and the body of the turbine which is huge in itself. Best part of it is that you know you will never be hauling into downtown chicago or NY!

i thought they were airplane wings

they are huge! i dont imagine they weigh anything though

I have seen these also. I did not know what they were.
