it's getting to where million dollers aint much of a home in WI. and there isn't any truck drivers living in them. I've lived in WI my whole life up untill a year ago so you aren't telling me anything new

They hire students.I just left gunville this week. its not bad if you like low pay and 20 hr days. Hr/safety guy can be a jerk unless you kiss his backside. He told me that i should run out of fuel instead of buying fuel on the road. they will want you to sign a 1yr contract.
The owners son is the dispatcher right now because they cant find anyone willing to put up with the rest of the staff. thing is he is the best dispatcher i had but he always fills in while they search for a new one.
Oh yeah the equipment is old. they operate on the fix it only if it falls of philosophy. not to mention they are volvos so the electrical system burns everything you plug in up.
they will tell you they pay pcmiler practical miles but if they mistakenly give you their pay sheet it says pcmiler shortest miles. good luck getting paid for unloading trailers and extra stops. you may get paid for every other one. there are a lot of 3 and 4 stop pick ups in chicago. then there are the overweight loads of paper. they will put 47000lbs in a reefer, 48000lbs in a 53ft dry van then dispatch a drop and hook after hrs so you cant get a roll off the trailer. they will have you dodge the scale but complain about out of route miles and not pay you for the additional miles.
On the plus side they can get you good miles,but like i said 16-40 hr stretches of work. then sit for a day to rest. I just decided this week that i'm not going to prison for this company. I like money but i love my family more. I found a good local job. it doesn't pay as well but it is good to be home, driving my wife nuts! not used to having so much down time.

I worked for Roehl for 2 months also. They treat you really good, even if you start cussing because of lack of miles. I just couldn't feed my family on the 1500 miles a week that they were giving drivers at that time. Man i wish it would have worked out at roehl.

Try Veriha, last time i talked to their recruiter they had just hired a trainer.

I have lived here all my life too. But your point was that this area is a depressed area and your comment about a million dollors aint much of a home in WI kinda disproves your point about it being depressed. I bought my house in 2003 for 80,000 and at the time it appriased for 85,000.00. I had it appraised a year ago and it came in at 245,000.00 and I really did not do much too it. Things like that do not happen in depressed areas.

But anyways your leaving gunville trucking zeba town might be why my phone rang. Sounds like it is a good thing I said no.

You can go down to your local jail & get fingerprinted. Thats what I did. Theres a fee, but it wasn't too much.

Gunville trains students. I saw their ad within the past couple weeks. Guy who trains is named Reggie. I did some owner operator work for them years ago. Always paid on time and we were kept busy.

you can check with Tom Joy trucking they are right by Marinette WI. My husband works for them, but they may require 1 year.

I worked at Gunville too for the better part of 4 years running bark for them they always took good care of me but then things started going down with the mills shutting down and such, I was fired because I scheduled a vacation with them 4 months prior to the vacation and the night before I was supposed to leave they told me I had to cancel it and I refused when I got back they said they didnt have a job for me, currently I have a line on another job doing the same thing for a company that pays 20 dollars more per load for the exact same run.
