Pigbacon's Pig Pen: Magnum Ltd, Fargo, ND

Been working for Magnum for several months.

First and foremost I want to give a special thank you to the person that started my career at Magnum. He was the Driver liason/recruiter. He was an honest and great man. Everything he told me was true about Magnum. His life was ended suddenly, unexpectedly, and way too early. Paul you are greatly missed!

There's another thread on here that I have been participating in for a while about Magnum.

Magnum is a solid company. They may not be the company for everyone, but they are still a company that cares.

My experience may not be the same experience you may have but a lot of other drivers agree with me that they have a great place to work here at Magnum.

I came here after being laid off in the oil field in Arkansas. I was laid off due to the downturn in oil prices.

I had been doing research for a company to work for because we all kind of felt a lay off was coming. I did several months of research and talked to several of Magnums drivers through this forum.

I believe Magnum will tell you your mileage will average around 2500 per week. My experience has been more miles than that. My average is over 3000 a week.

Magnum takes drivers with all levels of experience. I came in with several years of experience and went straight into my tractor after orientation. I also got a new 2016 Pete 579 that had barely been broken in.

I was really impressed with the quality of the equipment here. They are phasing them out at this time but our oldest tractors and trailers are 2014's. Magnum takes responsibility for maintaining their equipment also. Tractors and trailers are maintained regularly.

 

I enjoy food, apparent by my name, so I will discuss food, fun, and Magnum on this thread.

Have fun and be respectable, even if you have a dissenting opinion.

 

One of the nicer things about being a smaller company and having contact on the forum we can actually build friendships and have comradery that we might not necessarily find in our daily routine of being alone in a truck.

I have met a lot of fine caring people here at Magnum and enjoy the friends I have made and the support given by my coworkers!

 

I still have not been by there to sample the pies.
