    Still want to apply?

    I remember when I walked in there office some years ago to apply...the roof was leaking the carpet was soaked and the walls were stained. The outside looked abandoned and weeds growing everywhere. Their trucks look like gonnorrhea

    I worked for PJAX/Vitran for over 7 years and I left in 2012. I still keep in touch with a couple drivers and they say that it has went downhill since Central has taken over. People quitting and the equipment is junk. Said some got pay cuts. These drivers are out of Charleston WV and Roanoke Va.

    I did talk to a driver out of Cleveland and he said that they are getting a bunch of new trucks in and that he loves it.

    I worked for Central back in the 80's, when they still had Teamsters. They were bad then, I can't imagine it's gotten any better.....
