    I was just contacted by a recruiter today and talked to hom a bit. SO Iwhile he is doing his backround/DAC check and stuff thought I would check and see if anybody would have any info on them. I know that they have terminals in Florida and ROsemount, MN which is where I would go for orientation, if accepted. No traing they would just put me in a truck and off into the wild blue yonder. Thanks. SHriner:biggrin_25514:

    You will work alot less than at most companies.

    Hauling reefer, cheese, and such.

    Low pay , low miles. If that's OK with you, you'll like it there !!!!
     
    kickin chicken and shriner75 Thank this.
  4. Up to $0.40 cpm and quarterly bonuses wouldn't be considered "low pay". To be honest with you a lot has changed since that time. Turnover is at an all-time low, haven't lost a driver in 5 weeks, all the trucks are full and miles are averaging 11,000 per month per truck. I have been here 4 + months and haven't had a single complaint on miles, pay or home-time.

    Walbon slip seats drivers. Main Florida load is Plants double decked for Walmart 100% driver unload. Dirty and messy. You drive everywhere, worst loads out of Alabama Wayne Farms. Florida yard is dirty for drivers lounge area. The operations in Rose mount is unsteady, they changed about 4 times.
