Help 2 Does Anyone Out There Work For Falcon or Know Anything About They're Record?

Hi, I'm just finishing school, will have my CDL Thursday. Have been looking really hard at going to Falcon. Been doing alot of research on this site and others about them, and have not been able to get any good or bad information at all! The only info I could find was their website and what the recruiter gave me. I have to let them know for sure by Thursday, so please if anyone out there works for them, has worked for them(no disgruntled employees please) or knows anything about their track record please tell me!!!!

I don't work for them or anything. But after reading your post, I went to search and typed Falcon and there are many things there.

You might like to give it a shot.

Sorry you should have looked at the SafeStat by the FMCSA. Falcon Transport has the worse ratings I ever seen in the Summary of Safety Evaluation Area's. Anything over 75 is bad very bad.

Hey all- Passed with great marks, got my CDL. Also last minute change of plans going with Falcon-not.
The company I wanted to go with in the first place called me at home Friday morning. I will be leaving Monday to go to TransAm in Missouri. Picked up the bus ticket today. Got all kinds of emotions from nervous, butterflies, concern for my wife , to total excitement of living my dream. My wife will keep you up to date on my progress as I dont know exactly when I'll get back home.

This is Eagle One's wife giving an update. After being bumped off 2 greyhound buses yesterday, he was finally able to get one # 8:55 a.m. this morning. Hopefully we pray no more problems. He should be in Kansas City @11:30 tonight. That will give him a little time to rest before TransAms shuttle picks him up 6:30 wednesday morning. Will keep everyone up to date on his progress. Pray he does well!!!

Eagle One Wife Update: He's done with his orientation and is now on the road with a driver trainer. Heading to PA with a load of meat. He's having some difficulty manuvering around truck stops and how to get what he needs(food, shower, washer. etc.) Any advice? Seems to have come across some that are really hateful. He wants to a good job, but doesnt want to cause trouble just getting a shower. Any help is appreciated. He calls me at least once a day so I'll be able to relay any messages tommorrow before his next stop.
