Anyone know anything about Steelman transportation in springfield Mo?

[shadowchasertransport]

I am going to orientation there 8/20/12. Just 2 people in the class should be good. This is a lease purchase deal with either a 2012 or 2013 389 pete. Will keep you guys informed on how long it takes me to go broke . All I know is they dont really advertise I think that is a good thing. Just 2 people in orientation makes me think they dont just run people thru all the time. Well wish me luck!!!!!!

They used to deliver aluminum extrusion to one of my customers, from Missouri, to Elkhart, IN. One driver in particular would throw any trash, dunnage, etc, right on the ground, instead of using the trash dumpster. They no longer deliver for that account. FWIW....

that sounds about right. #### truck drivers are becoming real pricks these days. I see them at the truckstops just put the trash bags on the ground then drive okk...Man I remember when truckers were MEN not punk ##### little kids.

Yes, please keep us informed on how it goes... and pics of the truck should suffice LOL

I see them all the time down that way and around memphis and little rock. Never asked them about their work tho, and I haven't seen any in a new truck. All the guys I see are in older late 90's trucks with that big old steelman sticker on the cab

Ok I am on that great greyhound ride right now. I will get to springfield mo aat 10 30 tonight ron the recruiter said he will pick me up at 8 30 in the morning. There is only me and one other guy in orientation so he said we will get loaded out wed instead of thur. We eill pick out ur trucks first thing tomorrow so I will take inside and outside pics and let you guys know whats up. Wish me luck.

I bought an '05 379 Pete they traded in and it was a great truck. I get thier e mail load list daily and the freight ain't very interesting. Good luck with the lease purchase program. You might have a chance since they don't advertise it. The more a company advertises the worse they are. Top tier companies rarely, if ever, advertise for trucks.

Ok guys made it thru the first day of orientation. gonna try to upload some picks of my new truck...well it has 19876 miles on it so the tires are dirty lol.

[shadowchasertransport]

[shadowchasertransport]

So far all the drivers I talked to are happy so I guess we will see. I am gonna post my paystubs and let everyone know what's going on.
