    I wouldn't recommend these jokers to my worst enemy. Their website claims 'modern satellite communications'- in reality they use a Garmin gps with text messaging that doesnt work half the time. It also shows a nice shiny new white truck and trailer- you will get a plain-Jane Penske rental. Google their address and their 'terminal' is a scrap yard- no driver facilities whatsoever. I was with them for two weeks and had a 'whopping' 2500 miles, and they suggested to me that I use sleeping pills and energy drinks. They will try to tell you how to do your logbook too. Also gave my ph # to brokers without my permission. No layover, no hotels either if you're on a load with extra time. No prepass either, so you will spend a lot of time in scales. And in the year they've been in business they've had 18 logbook violations for 11 trucks!

    With that many log book violations it sounds like they have a problem finding "competent" drivers.

    Whatever they can get (the cheap stuff that no one else wants), and they don't have any specific lanes. They're trying to cover the entire country with a dozen trucks. They have so many logbook violations due to the way they push their drivers. All they see is "there's a load to do and a truck in the area"- they don't pay attention to the driver's hours. I didn't quit- they told me I 'wasn't a good fit'. No ####- I wouldn't run HOT nor would I let them push me around, not for .31 per mile. They don't use DAC either

    Oh and their 'orientation' is a joke too- you're paid $25 to fill out paperwork and then you get a set of keys and tossed to the sharks

    Yep, toss me to the sharks anytime, I hate them videos lol. Havn't had to do that in a while thankfully. New drivers should have to go thru it no doubt though. Pay them dues!!

    And they don't use DAC!!!! Sign me up if my current company ever goes under lol. Few hour orientation and no DAC, heck yeah lol. And they run ya!! Although how did you get 2500 miles in 2 weeks AND they run you hot?? A paradox it would seem.
