My old man ran for George Transfer for years and said he loved running for them. I guess I would choose them just so I could have run for them now that I run steel.
Another is Eastern Livestock. I know some people feel otherwise, but I always got my money on his loads and they ran us well and paid well.
Anyone got companies they are glad they went under? Mine is Cold River Cattle Co. in Bryan, Tx. Bunch of theiving beep* beep* beep* people.

Anyone remember when Kimberly-Clark had their own trucks? My dad worked for them until they contracted it out to Schneider. I remember as a kid going to the company picnics and truck rodeos. From what I've heard, they really took care of their drivers.

I drove for them from 1985 until 1991. Worked out of Paramus, Nj, then transferred to Fontana, California. It was a great company to work for back in the eighties. The cheap freight companies helped put Carretta out of business.
