In the honeymoon phase everything is fabulous. This is a "Mom & Pop" type trucking company where everyone knows your name. The owner is a fairly jovial fella. There are 2 FULL facilities and maintenance facility all roughly 150 miles apart. The company unfortunately is growing faster than it can keep up and nobody knows how to handle the stress and the drivers are punished for it. The owner needs to take back control of his company before things get completely out of hand with the driver turnover rate. There's an open door policy, just not much of an open ear open mind policy.

Pros

You can make a 6 figure income as an OTR driver. If you're a kiss ### you'll be treated very well.

Cons

Dispatch/planning department just can't pay attention to driver logs/hours. Maintenance is hard to get done because of dispatch. Never get home when you're supposed to so you plan for a day later. Too many people telling driver about Federal regulations but don't actually know the regulations.

Looks like awesome equipment boys! But in my opinion 60-70k in this day isnt squat really. 80-90k is going to be new normal soon. Pay is from 1995 id say. If your the best why do you pay like swift??????

Pros

Sweet equipment.

Cons

Your pay doesnt say your a premium tanker company to my 20yrs experience..true

I've been 36 years in this business and I think this has to be one of the best outfits anybody could hope to run for. Good pay, good equipment (Petes & KW), well maintained, and very fair management. It's food grade tankers, so that might not be for everyone, but at this point, if I couldn't drive here, I'd just retire. Just saw my paycheck right before Christmas, here, and was surprised to see a $150 bonus I wasn't even expecting.

Pros

Pay, benefits, fair management, excellent safety record, home time, bonuses.

Cons

Work to do a good job for them and they work to do a good job for you. Seriously. The con is, this will spoil you for other companies.
