    they used to hual alot out of your area, good paying contract, but they lost it (selco)
    you'll prolly get some loads out of northwest forest in tacoma, IF they still have that one
    moly outta butte (no-one else will hual it for what they do)
    loads outta towanda, pa goin back to the seattle area
    some steel loads, but mostly everything they offered me was cheap

    i quit last august, if i was making money there, i'd still be there
    most of the office people are great, some just plain lie thru thier teeth
    dunn is good outta the top 3, i never trusted the other 2

    good outfit if you dont like things like electricity or food
    you'll get plenty of sleep between loads though

    First off does anyone here really think they will get rich driving a truck? Please! These people are fair, keep me busy, don't hastle me, know me by my name, i can go in and talk to any one of the owners any time. no locked doors! My truck and trailer payments are half of primes, if you want a real eye opener, go there first, then go to davis. How many companies tell you the spill on the phone, and you show up and the story is different. mine was, it was a better deal then what they offered me on the phone. I got no complaints.

    Why bring back a 3 year old thread? Unless you're a recruiter, that is.

    Are you the board post police? I read some posts, and put in my 2 cents. if you don't like it, why are you reading it? There are plenty of other posts you can police here!

    Still there for 2 1/2 years, paid off old trailer, then traded it in for a new 2014 east flat. If your looking to get home every week, don't go there. This is long haul coast to coast. My avg length of haul is around 2000 miles a load. they are fair, you won't get rich, but you can earn a good living. Just make sure your overhead isn't huge.
     
    VLSanders2013 Thanks this.

    thanks for the post. I was hoping you were the one to reply! I tried to send a private message but I can't yet. what kind of weekly gross r u averaging? send me a private post if you want. I need some real numbers to base my decision on... the way I figure it my truck will need to be grossing 4000 weekly for me to have any real income.


    thanks for the input.
