    Anyone ever heard about this company before? Based out of New York, it advertises a regional gig out of my immediate area (Salina, KS). Looked up the company on the FMSCA site and they seem to have decent safety ratings. Looked at their website and it's supposedly a union gig, but that could mean anything. Kinda vague anyways about what they actually haul.

    Be careful with advertisements, as many companies target certain areas with claims of “your area”. But, in reality, there are no operations in your area. It’s just a ploy.

    Because I live just outside a capital city, I’m continuously bombarded with these adverts.

    Thanks for the info..i haven't seen their trucks around but I've only driven by the Exide plant maybe a few times and I grew up in this town. It's out there in the boonies. I'll have to take a closer look at their facility.

    Years ago it was a good job. Not so much anymore. They haul batteries for what used to be exide. Hope you like loading and unloading batteries and running New York city.

    Nah I think I'll pass. The whole point of me wanting to go regional is to avoid the Northeast as much as possible. Just not many options in this town. The guys at Triangle Trucking are a nice bunch and I've known them for years. I was curious about what their pay package was and almost laughed in their faces when they told me. And Doug Bradley pays by the load. Which in today's economy..just no. I've started to look in neighboring states and saw Midwest Express out of Grand Island, but I need to do more research on them.

    But hardly any other options in town besides for those two.
