    This company of 40 company trucks has an incredible turn over rate. Since it is reefer freight, there is an incredible amount of waiting time in docks. 100% no touch freight but sitting ALL the time. Since they cant find any customers for back hauls it is mostly brokers coming back although you rarely come straight back to MN. Despite their claims, there is not great home time. you will be out long and they will try to keep you out in the system and do not honor your home time requests. Resets WILL NOT always be at home,usually on the road. The bonus program is a joke! Ask them how many drivers make fuel,mileage,and other bonuses. Even to get a paid vacation you have to jump through hoops to TRY and get it. Benefits are unaffordable and NO 401k contribution. The company is offering $2000 sign on bonus.....they will pay huge money to try to get people but cannot keep even a small fleet of drivers. Ads are always on Craigslist too. They are desperately trying to find drivers. There is a reason the bad companies always offer sign on bonuses and numerous Craigslist ads. Stay away!!! If there is a silver lining,you will get to drive a newer boring white fleet truck. Everyone has newer equipment so don't let that be a factor. I wish that nobody goes through what I did for years. Don't fall for huge sign on bonuses. Good companies don't have to bribe you to work there. Those are huge red flags!! Good luck in your search and I hope this will help some people from making a bad choice like I did.

    Yeah I called them a while back and had a lady that was real short and smartaleck. New trucks as a big come on and then they tell you it's whatever is available garbage. The conversation didn't last long to say the least. Big come on but no action or truth! Hasta La Veesta Twin Dummies!

    Heard they upped the bonus to 5,000 but it pays out 100 a month for 48 months. They give you 200 after your first month there according to the ad on Craigslist.

    No wonder they bomb the crap out of Craigslist with their ads for drivers in WI.
