smokey point dist.

Haven't worked there but with the two cities listed it sounds like it aircraft components going between Spirit Aero Systems and Boeing - more than likely structural pieces for 737 and perhaps the ####pit section of the 787 I think is made there as well. Maybe that information will help you dig into it a little more. I think more info would be needed to determine if it is a "deal" or not. Hope this helps!

 

Catalinaflyer has been there a few years,i'm sure he can answer your questions.

 

I work for SPD and have never heard most of that. Yes we have new trucks, most are automatics and some of our drivers do oversize. But a new driver is not going to be hauling the loads that are paying $400 a day. You can make $400 on mileage but not every day, you'll run out of hours.

But what do I know, I haul mostly super loads for them.

 

Actually it's cowlings for 777 engines. I haul them almost every week, just unloaded a set of 14' wide 777 inlets in Everett this morning that I loaded in Wichita on Monday. Now I'm getting a 16' high load ready here in Arlington to take to North Charleston, SC

 

I'm at our office in Washington, just talked to the boss and that is not Smokey Point.

Edit - We would sure like a link to the ad your seeing. There have been several of us this evening trying to find this ad on CL and no luck. All the current postings we can find our from our two recruiters and they make no mention of any of the stuff listed.

FWIW, SPD does not do lease purchase stuff. We do get new trucks, I'm on my second one in 18 months and yes I do have a "not chromed out automatic transmission" truck.

 

I have been with SPD for nearly 10 years and have not heard a thing about that kind of offer & pay .. especially for a new hire.

There are only about a dozen company drivers who do the super loads. and $400 a day can be achieved ...HOWEVER... you will start out with the 9 & 10' ones and progress upwards as you build your "cred" without incidents or issues.

Currently I am under a "mini" super load (17'8" wide only) & 10k for weight with 6+ hours to pad and tarp. (4) 26' x 24' lumber tarps)
I drive an '12 Pete 386 with a Paccar engine coupled to a 13 sp.

 

Well whomever posted that is clearly using SPD's routes as that is what we run all the time. I just came from Wichita with a 14' wide and am leaving here going to Charleston with a 16' high load.

As Saddlesore has already said, there are only a few drivers in this company making that kind of money and there is no way a new driver is going to be put on multi-million dollar loads right off the bat unless they come with a lot of verifiable experience from a trusted partner carrier.

I hope I'm wrong but it sounds strangely like someone may be fishing for information and I would personally be very worried about identity theft and it would be a cold day in #### before I would send all that information to a blind e-mail. If the company/recruiter can't be up front with at the very minimum a phone number then I would never respond with anything more than my e-mail address and my phone number.

If your interested in doing flatbed work between Kansas and Washington and have at least a couple years flatbed experience then feel free to contact myself or Saddlesore and we can get you in touch with our HR people. I'll be more than happy to share my pay stubs with you but I can guarantee you that's not what you'll make your first year here. Yes we all make really good money but $400 a day is not going to happen on a regular basis.

 

Oh and there's good reason why I get new trucks and Saddlesore is stuck in a '12 Peterwrecker, he works all the time, I whine most of the time, just ask wichris
