comtrack logistics

any body? no news could be good news

 

I had never even heard of them until today. I saw 2 of their rigs going east on 40, and while they did outrun me (not saying much when i am governed at 62 and pulling 79 up a hill) they didn't appear to be the best equipment I have seen out here.

 

Think they are strictly O/O out of Memphis.

 

They have been really Sloooow. I know a couple of guys that have quit them because of lack of work, low miles. They dont pay the greatest either, think its like 1.00 loaded and .85 empty for owner-ops. .34 cpm for company drivers. Owner-ops have to furnish their own plates. They have a pretty weak fuel surcharge too, So i am told. I know they have on-board recorders,(paperless logs)and when your time is up, you gotta shut her down then and there.

Hope this helps.

 

Volsfan, They have company trucks too. Lots of them

 

i asked because they are looking for o/ops out of the scranton pa area just wanted feedback

 

Does Mike Smith still own them, or did he sell out and just run things now.

 

Hey there 112racing I know a bit about them. I have never worked for comtrack but I have run loads in and out of their depots and have talked to their drivers and o/o's. They are a good company to work for not the best pay in the industry but overall good company. Let me also say that now is NOT the time to get into the intermodal side of trucking you will not do good. I left back in Oct 08 for a better job and still stay in contact with friends I made while hauling containers and its really bad slow right now. I would tell you in a second to work for comtrack when things pick-up

 

Thanks but it's the same story everywhere with low freight volumes just looking for a place for my truck close to home if i have to sit at least i can sit at home they had an add on craigslist the guy told me it was all local out of harrisburg to scranton area which places me kinda in the middle

 

yeah mann you are right ,you will be home. that was the best part of doing intermodal work. just know that when i say its slow im not just talking. just be ready to sit no joke.
