    We are not owned by an investment group anymore. 3 guys that were big brass in other companies own us now and since then, they have been making alot of improvements that the others did not. Overall it is a good company to work for, we have problems just like in any other company but theres not a single company out there big or small that dont have them. Morris is the main terminal and always have work out of there.
    I myself work out of florence, sc terminal ( the best terminal imo lol ) ... cant complain overall, first year here will make about 60k .. as much time as I need for hometime with no questions why. So overall works for me :)

    Started orientation Monday, So far so good! Every one is very helpful and friendly so far. There is quite a bit to learn about these trailers, but i'm sure I will get the hang of it.

    Good to hear... A word of advise. Don't get overwhelmed with the loading aspect. Give it 6 months. Cause it really takes that long to get a good handle on how the different types of trailers and different products load. Best of luck and keep us posted :)
