#1 Carrier in Chicagoland

Nice....name-calling. Pecker. Wow....your cleverness astounds me. I'm in absolute awe. I mean...I'm so impressed.

Sorry (you have the name Christ in your name? OK....), but I've seen enough of these crummy Chicago-based outfits to warrant my opinion. Sorry if it ruffles your feathers CrapDiver.

Oh, and if you search the forums enough, you'll quickly find out who I drive for. But I'll save you the time....Crete is the company I drive for.

And your point is well taken as to a few drivers ruining it for the company in terms of stats. No argument. But I stand by my opinion of the majority of Chicago area companies. They're crap.

 

Ahh yes. Another Chicago 1099 carrier, running hot I bet. All Volvo fleet too, lol. It's only a matter of time till the DOT catches up.

 

I'm actually looking for work right now but with a respected national carrier. Even though it would be easier to get hired on with any one of the Chicago fly by night outfits I am not interested. First off I need to be paid like an employee on W-2. If I wanted to be 1099ed I'd buy my own truck, which I have have no interest in doing right now. Yes I agree the drivers pay a huge part in a company's CSA score BUT the company contributes just as much. Especially in the area of vehicle maintenance and hours of service compliance. If they don't keep up with the upkeep of equipment no amount of PTIs the driver does will help anything. In regards to HOS compliance these companies are known to push drivers to run hard, very hard. They often book team freight for solo drivers. Many of these guys are recent immigrants so they are fearful of losing their job so they run 1,000 miles a day.

I'm surprised you took such offense to me stating the obvious when you yourself were burned by this fine outfit from Alsip:

This is an open forum. One where we all participate and voice our opinions. Whether you agree with them or not, we will all continue to voice them. There's a good reason why these companies in Chicagoland have a bad rap. They've earned it.

 

What's the deal with Multi-Group? Are they really getting their act together?

 

They had to. The DOT was ready to shut them down.
