They have been good to me. They are understanding about my home time needs. They know my name and not just my truck number. I am a million miler with them and have been on the driver's advisory committee. I can say from first hand experience that mgmt. takes drivers into account when making decisions.

Pros

Safety and shop are both good and take equipment safety seriously and address issues promptly.

Calark Anyone there recently

Calark was a great company, i left for a local gig. The only bad thing was no apus so during the summer when you were idling especially down in laredo tx the air didnt feel cool. Id go back if i wasnt wanting more hometime. Most paychecks were around $1,000. Good miles.

Calark just my .02 cents

I have been with Calark for over 2 years. I enjoy my job here, everyone from dispatch to safety treats the drivers well. Communication is good throughout the company. Trips overall are planned with enough time to legally do them, if not appointments are changed or loads are swapped. We are all on elogs for better or worse if you work here you will run legal. We do a lot of long trips to Laredo its not unusual to get 1200 to 1400 mile trips. I think they claim 2800 miles per week average, which in my experience is about the norm. For quite a while I have been reading threads on other companies and shake my head at what some drivers go through. I think that is what has compelled me to write a little in regard to Calark. looking through the threads I didn't find any real useful info in regards to the company. I will be keeping an eye on this thread and would be glad to answer any questions about the company. Maybe some other drivers will join in. Happy Posting

any info about calark

I drive for calark and it's went downhill in the last 6 months. The shop is staffed with trainees and miles are dropping, they are complaining about idle time and most of the aux air conditioners don't work. I'd stay away from them.

Does any one work for calark now.
