    Think it's owned by mr Watkins ? Heck of a nice guy! Was a big FedEx contractor and FedEx bought him out . Toke a load of pine shavings out to his race house stable in tenn. Huge beautiful place. After meeting him I would imagine working for him would not be bad. Just gut talking .

    Not sure about the money aspect but they do alot of dedicated tropicana out of sarasota area, I believe they were "forced" into eobr for all now because of log issues. If you do trop you will be dispatched to them then they pretty much do what they want with you, home time is about 7-10 give or take. The guy I know is trop and he does Fl.-Il-Ga-Fl runs almost always. Everyone I have passed always seems happy enough, I almost bought a truck to put there myself but economics aside I would prefer to stay away from EOBR's!! Good luck with your search.
     
    LMB Thanks this.

    Hope it's nothing serious LMB. Been thinking of doing the owner thing again since so many of these driver companies are treating people pretty bad it seems... They would be in a good area for me depending on what is available when I decide to jump in!
