    Whoa, Roehl is hands down kickin' #####. I can't wait to see what happens when Schneider, Stevens, et al, are added to the poll.

    You can leave Stevens out. They rate right there with CR England.

    Yeah, but wouldn't it be fun to trash 'em with a poll. I might even send the poll results to them to let them know just how bad they are being dogged by the folks that really matter, i.e., the drivers!!!!

    There is no "other" selection. So I will pass on voting. Also the poll doesnt state anything about if you could only chose of these what would it be...... This is also as to why I didnt respond.

    Sorry to burst your bubble.

    LOL no CR England? no listings of other wannabe carriers?

    Prime would be the one I would choose .As I have talked with some of there driver's and haven't come across any that had anything to say bad about them.?Are you going for a employee or Owner Operator.

    If you take all the Companies listed and put down EACH of the FIRST letters you get :

    R : uthless

    S : ad

    P : erpertrating

    W: renching

    J : acka****

    Why do i say that? I have NO idea OTHER than experience dealing with the misfortunate persons' that either have worked there or on a constant basis email myself concerning HOW in the world did they get "duped" when the advertising "SEEMED" so honest. I betcha I could sell them a car with no engine...ya think? I would much more be endowed with the funny papers....much more honest.

    Actually the Poll isnt a total lost. Ive been enjoying the nifty colors....sorta reminds me of when I went to see the group "Andy Acid and the Triptones" in concert.....dont remember too much of that concert. Cant wait for Poll Part II Colors:biggrin_2551:. Keep up the good work Oldnew...inquire...inquire...inquire. Heck, you'll get SO informed about every aspect of all the Companies, you'll end up being a member of the Forum Staff(if theyre really THAT hard up)

    Think hes shooting for Company Driver or Drive the Company nuts.

    **Fotnote**(NO, I didnt forget the other "o" in Foot, I gota toe missing). Itd ALSO be cool if the Poll was setup with the colors going in the NEGATIVE and POSITIVE direction concerning their popularity(Just shake your head R E A L fast from left to right and itd be "farout dude"

    I had to go with swift. I heard they had some content drivers in their flatbed division and that the division was kindof separate from the rest of the hoard.

    Don't know much about Roehl. Prime is a ripoff. Werner, meh. JB had some really nice flatbeds but they couldn't get in enough to undercut everyone so they let them sit. Talked to an O/O who was pulling a shiny new flatbed with JB mudflaps last month. He said they bought it brand new and just let it sit in the yard for 6 years. Then they sold it to him for 13k.

    I posted this just before I nodded off last night. Hope it explains a little.


    Thank you to every driver who has participated in this poll so far. If the interest continues I'll make some changes. I'll add some new companies to the poll and drop off the "losers". Problem here is I'll have to ask you to respond again as the new poll will only be valid if the new companies are are judged against the companies that have survived the first poll.
    I have time to do this and hope the end result gives good direction to the wannabes, newbies and experienced drivers out there.
    Again, thanks to all who have participated,
