has anyone heard of a company out of Iowa called Foodliner? They pull tankers and pneumatic trailers?

I worked for them for 1 day. was going to be local in cleveland oh, but didn't want to wrk 14 hrs a day 6 days a week paid by the load hauling dry bulk, flour, and work every sat and sun. plus two days a week work 11 pm to 1 pm. went flying back to my old job and happy as a clam.

Thanks for the info on foodliner. I was told that based on my location in Wisconsin that my hometime would be every 2 to 3 days maybe more depending on my load and having every other weekend off. I would also have to be available for dispatch the other weekend but if not called I would have that weekend off also. My pay is .36 cpm. Also, drivers in my area gross 900-1100 per week and aggressive drivers would make more. I was told their is not much down time.

You learn anything more about them? I spoke to a recruiter today and got much the same from him. Not much info on their web site?

Anyone know anything about these folks? Come to think of it there isn't much on any bulk outfits on these boards.

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

I worked for foodliner out of the dayton terminal.they are not a good company to work for...

THANKS FOR THE INFO ILL GIVE IT A TRY.BUT KNOWING FOODLINER THEY WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO KEEP F_ING YOU ANTWAY.ALLSO THEY TURNED DOWN MY UNEMPLOMENT FOR FOODLINER SAYING ITS MY FAULT AND I CANT DISPUTE IT.THEY DO EVERYTHING IN THERE POWER TO MAKE SHURE YOU CANT GET UNEMPLOMENT WHEN LET GO,BEWERE OF THIS COMPANY.

Been with Foodliner's chemical division (Questliner) for almost a year now and couldn't be happier. Will make in the mid 70's and hometime has been great. My weekend to work is usually optional and the extra pay to work it makes it very worthwhile.
