    A friend of mine runs regional for them and enjoys it. Don't know much else other than I live a block from one of their regular stops and see their day runners regularly. They also have an office in this town too.

    i know if we weren't planning on moving out of the area my bf would've tried to go with them.

    I'm not sure where all they are but I know they have a big presence around the Louisville, KY area.

    I ran for them for about 2 years and my mother in law ran for them about five years they are ok and keep you busy just have to watch that they don't get you runs you don't have hrs for. They was good at getting at getting you home on weekends. Just don't get hurt they try to get use doctors that's say your go to go when your not I won't go into details other than even after one of their doctors said surgery was needed they got a different one to say it was not.
    Almost all their trucks are up to date as they lease weekly from Penske and ryder you have to turn in your truck to whatever rental place your assigned to on most weekends you may end up changing trucks off and on but for the most part your in same every week suggest you keep things easy to take out especially valuables. As its serviced and sometimes has to be used during weekends or while extra days off such as vacations.

    All and all decent pay good at home time.
    Your assigned truck may be used as a slip seat when your not in it. got to keep records of state lines lots of paperwork but not more than other companies.

    Not a bad company to work for unless you get hurt.

    forgot a few of your questions if I remember right they used to pay a certain amount on the big holidays
    they pay a separate per deim was 30 every night out I think.
    they offered a few medical packages.
