Is this a good job?

They sad they had a lot more trucks prior to Covid, but a lot of their drivers got freaked out during Covid and quit the business. Then rates dropped and many small business are struggling since that. I know a lot of small trucking outfits are going out of business every month because of the low rates. I am just repeating what they said to me.

But now that I hear others mention it like you, you are right, something doesn’t sound right about all this. That’s kind of why I posted this. I needed to hear others thoughts on this.

Not sure why they would be willing to go out and buy new (used) trucks though if they weren’t committed. I did ask about the 2 drivers they do have and they have been with them a long time.

It’s kind of weird because my spidey sense goes off when people are blowing smoke up my butt pretty easily, but these guys actually seemed like decent folks. I am in my mid 50’s and can usually tell these things by now, but if someone believes their own nonsense and sells it as truth, and I don’t have enough experience on the subject like I do here, I could fall for it. I have fallen for enough BS in this industry so far to be honest, but most of it is lack of experience and ignorance on my part in the industry.

 

Thank you all for your input. Something didn’t feel right about it. I turned down the job this morning and I will keep looking.

 

No layover or anything of the like. It was just .52 cents a mile. They did mention vacation time and sick time, but I didn’t get that far in asking how much of each, but my guess is it was very minimal.

 

Just an FYI…all the centerline positions require 1 year.
