Well, in that organization, when they told me that, help might be coming - and could be days from... Continue reading... TrooperRat "What a Trooper"

Looking for a good trucking company Posted 09.05.2008 at 09.39 AM by bassman69 I am currently in the process of completing a private CDL school in NY. I would like to know some good trucking companies to look at. There is a lot of positive and negative things written in the internet. So I could really use some help. I was looking into kreikland, wel, maverick, barr nunn, heartland and melton. Any information one these companies or other companies would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance Basman69 bassman69 Bobtail Member
