    A couple of things I found out from the recruiter.

    Decker *does* do per diem pay, and they also do hair testing.

    Neither of which bother me too much. With the elimination of the per diem deduction, per diem pay *could* be advantageous, but possibly not. It sounds to me like it depends on an individuals circumstances.

    Decker Motor Freight, as in out of Baltimore with Flatbedding maybe?

    They are like older than dirt. Been in this industry since the great war it seems.

    Dunno about Baltimore but they have terminals in Iowa, Georgia and Missoula, Montana among others.

    The Missoula terminal is reefers.

    Ok, we are probably looking at two separate companies then.

    I thought I would ask. Thank you kindly for answering.

    Missoula is pretty god forsaken on my point of view. What is up there anyway other than a bunch of buildings and a rail yard?
     
    Odin's Rabid Dog Thanks this.

    Home. :)
    Well, the fact that it is god-foresaken, is kind of a plus.
    Although, home is actually 110 miles NW of Missoula, so if you think Missoula is a one horse town, you'd really dig Columbia Falls. :)
