Stay away from these thieves the dispatcher are young and the company is set up to steal your settlements.they will run you and you will not get paid

Pros

Lies that's what they offer they will use you and discard you in three weeks after they get at least 10,000 worth of free deliveries..then they will call you in and say the truck need servicing to let you go and you will not get paid for your hard work . a lot of cheap loads then say you didn't make any money. no pros

Cons

Cheap loads- no settlement, stay away from this company they will not pay you.and they will leave you at a hotel with no way to get home. Thieves

If you don't want to be robbed, stay away from this company. Don't worry, there are much better ones. They deduct money from you that you don't even know where it comes from. They charge you for new tires and give you the equipment with old tires. If you break down, they charge you for the hotel. They don't pay you for the time lost in the workshops. If you were there for 4 days, you lost that week. With these people, there isn't much profit. They exploit you with a lot of work and pay the minimum. Don't waste your time, it's very valuable.

Lawrence is a scammer, trailer tires with bad tires explode, they demand to replace them with new ones and they charge the driver, even if you let them know in advance, they never return the escrow money and chains, very bad experience with these scammers, I do not recommend this company, they rip you off on the toll money.
