    I deliver to the one in OKC off council Rd all the time....in fact will be pulling in there tomorrow morning.

    It's a good place for us, bc it's drop and hook. But, yeah, lots of Great Wide trucks just sitting around in there.

    It's also illegal. The fmcsa clearly spells out the minimum a carrier must do to qualify a new hire. No matter what he says, Im betting he runs a dmv cheek or outsources the vetting process to another company.

    Not sure how he has passed a safety audit if not doing driver qualifications. Something is up with this guy. I'd avoid.

    Sounds like the contractor I worked for at sparten Nash for a VERY brief period of time .
    Farmer pretending to be a trucking co....soon you'll be working 20 hr days for some one who ignores what he don't like hearing , driving junk and chasing down your paycheck.
    As for awg facilities and most employees see the ####roach thread recently posted lol.
     
    Crusader66, spyder7723 and Mpeng98 Thank this.

    We do a lot of work for them. They aren't easy loads and they expect better than good service but they pay well and consider them a great customer. A lot of times you just need to figure out their (or any other company's) system. Plenty of work and like I said they pay well and pay on time. No complaints from us.
     
    Crusader66 Thanks this.

    Glad to see your still at it, I've followed your story elsewhere and it looks as though as they say.....the struggles are real.

    Good luck!
