    There isn't much information about this company so I thought I'd post what I know about the company for those interested in working for them.

    1. Quest pays 48 cpm without hazmat and 51 cpm with hazmat

    2. Company has unlimited hometime

    3. All their trucks are Freightliner Cascadias. Trucks come with no radio. You can buy one from them for $105. The radio the company sells is not XM ready. Company shop will install the radio for free. The 5th wheel is locked in a permanent position for fuel efficiency. Trucks are tag axle.

    4. It's not forced dispatch. During the winter time you can choose to stay down south. If you're open to going wherever then you can expect to see the northwest a lot during the winter. Those going to the northwest can expect getting a lot of miles.

    5. Quest is very pet friendly. They charge a one time fee of $500. You can have as many pets as you want.

    6. Company allows all their drivers to idle as much as they like.

    7. Orientation is 5 days. It's done at the Cartersville, Ga terminal. They use a clinic a few miles away for the drug test and physical. Quests Safety told the clinic to back off on insisting drivers doing Sleep Studies so those who are concerned about it.....fear not.

    8. The company does not hire in a lot of states so what a lot of people do that live in non-hiring states is drive down to Georgia and back. There are drivers from as far as North Carolina, Texas, Washington, etc.

    9. Those in hiring areas can take the truck home as long as its parked in a secure place.

    10. Quest is mostly a team company(lots of husband and wife teams) but they do have solo drivers who do most of the delivery for the teams on the east coast.

    11. Company does a lot of R&L Carriers hazmat loads to get them to the west coast then they'll bring back a reefer load back to the Cartersville terminal for a solo driver to deliver.

    12. Company uses Qualcomm e-log

    13. Quest has specific routes they have their drivers take and specific places to get fuel(i'll upload the list later)

    14. Drivers can send in their paperwork using Transflo

    15. Drivers can keep their Pilot points. Company changed their policy a few years ago.

    16. Quest only pays state income tax for Georgia. It's up to the driver to put money aside and pay state income tax for their home state.

    17. Company allows a 1,500 watt inverter. The driver must provide the shop with the wiring and will be installed for free.
