    Great trucks great trailers that's about it. Running legal is not an option . the only option is to make sure that your truck makes money. The owner of preferred is only concerned with the bottom line. I worked for this company for a couple years and ran with there program . that is my fault and choice. Please don't make the same mistake. Just a friendly warning

    Running legal is the ONLY option. You are the captain of that ship. Remember that.

    I stand corrected. Thinking of red trucks out of Atlanta.

    I use these guys for hopper washouts in Greeley CO. Pretty good prices. I haven't heard about their driving side before. Doesn't sound pleasant.

    It wasn't pleasant. Your ten hours breaks are getting woke up every 2 hours.....they will call until you wake up. If not they will call where ever your at to wake you up. Just to ask you if your going to make it. I documented everything and called FMCSA. Dispatch will give you a 4 hour run to only sit for 30 hours with no pay. Brett the owner is a "bible fearing snake in the grass". Terrible place.

    They have really nice trucks. That's the first thing they say is hey let's go pick YOUR truck out. Jim the ops manager can suck a fatty. Todd Stephens in Dispatch is a fat lazy pos. He will tell you how to drive the truck but has never ever touched one. Honestly, you'd be better off driving for Stevens. They only pay drivers .40 cents and they top out at. 43
