looks like they may be hiring to get their unsafe driving percentage down. If you want the job, better act fast. Once they get enough drivers to go from 66% to 65% they may not hire any more.
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
Never seen or heard of them, but it shows they only started a little over a year ago.
Shows starting with 5 power units, then dropped to 2 power units exactly 1 year ago, then 4 trucks in May 2014, then 8 trucks in Oct 2014, and 10 trucks total as of the new year.
Gonna be hard to get any kind of insight, unless you get hold of a past/present driver for them, as they don't have much track record.
The fluctuation in power units, in the short 1.2 years of the company's existence, is... 'interesting'.TruckDuo, dannythetrucker and 77smartin Thank this. -
It's also interesting they offer a bonus "if you can start this week". That may mean they have a new contract opportunity they are trying to get trucks on or something. I would at some point pose the question, "Why are you hiring drivers at this time ?". If it is for a new contract or something, ask about it as far as routes, loading and unloading. If it sounds like something you'd like go for it.

BTW, I guess this (below) is possibly their 'sister' company:
The one phone contact number comes back to: 911 Van and Party Bus Transportation, Chicago

I'm not interested in working for these guys. Archer Cargo is the latest and greatest Chicago trucking company advertising on Craigslist so I thought I'd start a thread about them and get everyone's thoughts. That way anybody that might be looking into this company will at least find a thread that might have some info for them. We've all probably encountered an instance where you're trying to research a company and there's just nothing out there on TTR. :smt117
