    I put in my application today. I did a lot of research on them and overall I personally feel they are legit. I saw a complaint about unspecified trailer rental fees but when I questioned them they said they do not have any trailer rental fees. If they approve me I'm going to give it a go. They really sound and look like a very good solid company. They pay their O/O drivers better than most O/Os out there are making. They also have a great lease to own programs better than I've ever seen. Nothing down and pay off as little as 13 months if you want. You will make enough to really get ahead with this company by the way it looks. They have no problem giving you the amount of miles you want either. 3000, 3500, 4000 whatever you want. Paper logs and no governors on the trucks. Go the speed limit on every road in the country without problem. Isn't i10 85mph through New Mexico and Arizona? well if you are governed at 65 you will be losing 20 miles every hour off your 70hr rule on that interstate. I have been searching for a company like this for a couple years now. So glad I found them on Craigs List. I hope I get approved!

    Hey, just wanted to know how things are working out for you at Mgr I am planning to work with them as a lease purchase/operator. I think the lease purchase program is great, being able to own the truck in a year.

    In a year, really? I think you forget about maintenance and repairs, it will come out of your pocket all that time. Plus if something happens after a year and you wont be able to keep making payments - you loose all the money you already paid for the truck.

    Just thought I would ask you how you like the company. No I didn't forget about maintaining the truck. After reviewing the trip sheets they sent me, the math made sense, however your reaction is making me think that someone may be blowing smoke. I wish I could show you the numbers for the trips..

    I'm a driver at mgr. First I will tell you I have Conley heard one bad thing from on driver. He was a co. Driver and from what it sounded like he did not want to run. So he was from complaining about not making $. But he also said he shut it down whenever it snowed. ... that being said. I work for them driving an o/os truck. I get more miles than I could want. Treated with more respect than I deserve. And I make more $ than I have ever made driving truck. I'm no saying they are the best co out there. But they are hard to beat. I'm from tx. Born and raised. Most the people in the co are European. So there can be a language barrier some times. But all in all they are the best I've ever worked for. BTW all the l/os I have met have nothing bad to say. They claim they make good $

    Hi Jonathan,

    thank you for the input, it's good to hear that you are happy with the company. I have been very impressed with the staff thus far and looking forward to starting this week. I believe that you get out of a situation what you put into it, I have no problem with working and I love what I do, every day will not be gravy but you have to keep a positive mental attitude. You sound like your happy there and I wish you much success! Thanks again and be safe out there
