    Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help or advice I receive from you guys .
    I'm a student just finishing up cdl school . With all the recruiters coming threw I'm having a super tough time making up my mind on which company to start with .
    I keep coming back to falcon transport . I've read few bad things about them but everything i find is a little old . I've heard they doing a lot to change there reputation and update there equipment . They also offer nice benefits and pay by the day instead of the mile for otr . I think that would help out a lot considering I'm new and I'm sure I will be making plenty of mistakes that would normally cost me money until I get the hang of things .
    So I would love to hear from anyone that has any recent information on falcon or better yet someone who works for them but any and all info would help please .
    Thank you .

    Not a lot of response to this one bud. I can't say I've ever seen their trucks either.

    If you've just finished up CDL school, you have a ton of options - I'd keep researching.

    Just found them online - I see a bankruptcy tied to Youngstown,OH, and an old Rip off report from 2008.

    Need to find one of their drivers and drill him for details.

    Good luck.

    When I lived in Nashville, my neighbor worked for Falcon Transport flatbed division and he was very satisfied with the company. I tried to recruit him to the company I worked for and he said, no he's happy at Falcon.

    I live in Northern Ohio and see them a lot. They do have some older equipment. They bought some fleet trucks at auction it seems, old Heartland International 9400's. But I see a ton of them moving, so they should be able to keep you busy.

    I don't know specifically what their flatbed division hauls, but the dryvan division handles auto parts. I looked into them a while back and was considering doing dryvan on one of their dedicated auto parts hauls.

    I say stay the hell away from falcon junk trucks bad csa score and they don't care 1 bit about there drivers. they also don't pay well there trainers only have to have 6 months as a driver. low pay you wont make 700-1000 like they say you will. you will never be home not getting paid to sit and wait for loads, no tarp pay, o did I mention there junk equipment go anywhere but falcon you will regret it
