Spirit Trucking 5400 w 47th Street Forestview, IL
At one time this was one of the best companies out there. Now the owners are about to retire and the guy they hired to run it is a moron. The last time they bought a new truck was in 2007, they treat their drivers badly, they haven't had a pay raise in 5 years. Driver bonuses have been cancelled. Im not sure why they keep hiring people since they seem to want to go out of business.

Alot of companies that hire someone to run it turns bad for the drivers.Far as last time buying a trk was in 2007 that's only 5 yrs ago.With the way the economy is,I don't blame any company for not wanting to get new trks every yr.Trks and trls can last yrs and yrs as long as they're maintained..I spoke to drivers thats been at my company for 10 yrs or better and never got a raise.Companies don't give raises like they should to the drivers,they save raises for the big boys.
