Link America express

I guess if you are semi-retired and don't have any desire to see your home with only getting 2500 miles per week this may be the company for you. I understand that when you talk to these recruiters you should expect a little lying but these people blew enoungh smoke up my butt I think I now have colon cancer. They said .38 per mile for the first 2400 miles .50 per mile after that 3000 miles a week no problem. I just spent 5 weeks out trying to give them every oppurtunity to live up to their word but I guess their word is just that words. They now have three minute shutdowns on their trucks I was sitting waiting on a red light the other day just as it turned green the truck shut off what a way to operate. 1 truck wash every other month and when you need to get home for say a doctors appointment even though you give them five weeks notice that you need to be home on this day it becomes an event. Look I am not going to say this company is not for everyone but if you have a family to support it just doesn't fit the bill.

What type of driver stays and works for this company, which from personal experience with a friend who leased on as an O/O was lied to endlessly. He couldn't leave soon enough.

Everyday I thank God that the o/o opportunity did not work out with LinkAmerica!! Found a great company that after 3 weeks let him come home immediately for a serious health situation with me. They have been so wonderful so far. He went back to work today after 2 weeks and they have not wasted a minute getting him running.

I have called so many companies to lease on with. They agree to send a contract to me, and it never comes in the mail, or they failed to tell the complete truth of the contents of their contract. Either way when they cannot be up front from the beginning they are not a company I want to lease on with.
The good companies right now are either going out of business or not hiring because they are taking care of the drivers they have.
As soon as I can find a company that has not deceived me about their contract, or how many drivers quit each week I will put my truck on with them immediately.
I didn't say how long I have had my truck on with this company, and yes one week is much to long.
Everyone's circumstances are different we all do what we have to just to survive these hard times.
Stay safe and thanks for your comment.
