    I'd stay away from greater 0 if I were you .
    If not for the old money and the pack plant around since the 1930s the trucking side wouldn't even exist .
    At least half of what goes out of the plant goes on commen carriers not they're own trucks .
    Once out all they have is broker freight .
    They once left me sitting in Chicago so long they forgot I was there.

    Wow. That's definitely something I would never be able to deal with. I don't blame you for leaving

    As a friend of @bzinger .. and 'knowing' (sorda..) the J'arsk up yonder, I'd agree to the NOPE.

    As a Buckeye, delivering on the borders of Michigan as well, I've seen a few Zeitner guys, and was impressed. I've been doing this as long as B'man... .and .. yep, I'd trust him.

    Tomcat~!

    In that case you can look into WFX out of OK City OK, they run all 48, new equipment, a lot of W9's with 565 Cummins, 18 speed, big sleepers, and all on a no money down, no credit check lease. But from what I hear a lot of guys turn in their trucks after about 6 months, not making enough money. I ran a 9 with a studio sleeper, that thing cost me over $1K in fuel a week. My Volvo 780 gets 7.5 mpg, much better.

    Do they have company driver's? Definitely not looking for a lease purchase.

    I see the JBS plant in CO has shut down due to cleaning, and they suspect that 3-400 works may be infected.

    Different Strokes for different folks. Here is my last 6 months at Greater Omaha Express. I'm no millionaire, but they keep me moving and paid pretty consistently. Plus, they pay for my health insurance, so I'm not paying out the wazoo for garbage coverage.

    March looks slower, but that is because that last week I was doing some charity work. Delivering cases of hand sanitizer from Patriot Distillery (normally, they just make whiskey/bourbon) to all of the smaller truck stops around here and handing out "goodie bags" with heavy-duty disposable gloves and bottles of sanitizer to our fellow drivers as well.
