    Yes. I went back to Davis after five months and am still with them.

    250 truck company that has improved drivers pay, working hard to improve overall scores. which are pretty good now. Finally said enough is enough and pushing/enforcing higher standards..

    starting pay is .36cpm with decent benefits.

    Trucks are Cascadia with epu's and bunk heaters. ten speed dd15's. governed at 63 right now. raising speed to 67. Putting cameras in the trucks. Qualcom, e-logs.

    Has three terminals: Carnesville,ga Valdosta,Ga and Lakeland,Fl. Are looking for drivers in Jacksonville,Fl for a new account.

    Usual trucking company complaints, but a small company that you know the office and they know you.

    Biggest complaint? Hauls a ton for publixs.....lol

    Really? What terminal? Leaving something out?

    Strange I've NEVER heard Manni yell/cuss and trust me I've given him reason to.

    My husband works for Davis going on 6 yrs. they treat him good and he gets anywhere from 1500 miles to 3000 miles in a week. Electronic logs, decent benefits and good people. No job is perfect and there are bound to be flaws anywhere. There are a lot of drivers that don't take good care of the equipment but they have started cracking down on clean tractors. It's the trailers some don't care about and just drop,them without putting a repair order on it. It just takes a minute to do and no reason not to. They need to think about how they would feel if they were picking up the trailers that they drop with repairs needed. Davis has been good to us!

    Lmaooo. I worked for them from 2009 to 2014and yes Manni is a grade A A- hole. He is part of the reason, so many good drivers quit. He told me he knows more than me because he has been in the business 40 years. I asked him if he drove a truck for that long, he said no I said we'll if you have never been in a truck, shut the ##.....up and get off my phone. I never accepted calls from him again. Walt used to call me if they needed anything.

    As with anything in life, there will be good and bad things. Trucking companies are no different. You've got your bottom feeders out there. Do your research when scouting trucking companies. They do their research when hiring drivers, so you've got to be as diligent as they are.
