    And the latest guy was told this + working ONLY local, NO INDY or anywhere more than 50 miles from downtown Chicago.....I just hope Kiswani doesn't take any of them back.....

    JJKid is right, it's a surge right now, in a month or two, see them flock out of JB Schneider.....truth is, rates are what they are everywhere....at least at Kiswani, I can check the actual rate confirm whenever I want....

    It's been my experience local trucking in Chicago is a dammed crooked business, the fact that I still feel I can trust the company I'm with 2.5 years later is worth more to me than EVER going back to a MEGA!!!!....

    Only two places I would go to other than Kiswani and both would mean no more box containers!!!.....If I ever make that move!....

    thing is they always go back on their word. one day its "we not taking anymore o/o" next day its "we just hired 10 o/o" going off topic. dec elogs. kiswani showed nothing. hiding under a rock.

    Or older O/O who like the easy crosstowns, and the 1800 a week is good enough till they retire in 5 years or less.....
