Decided on Transport 21

Yes, their web site is vague. From what I know, they hire from the areas that they run. My pay was quoted at 34/mi. I know not great, but the majority of their trucks right now are averaginig around 4k per week so I can deal with the low pay. Their qualifications are about the same as just everybody else out their. They want me to call when I get back to the states. Still have not heard back from KLLM. Also now looking at JCT. Worked for them back in 2003 and from what I amn reading, seems like lots of improvement. Now it is between Van Kampen and JCT. It really burns me when companies can not even answer e-mails.

 

Yeah, that pay left a little to be desired, but if I can avg 3800 miles per week, I can deal with it. Just left my last co, .36/mi, and a avg of 2500 week. 2 cent cut but a increase in avg mile by 1300, I can deal with it. Waiting to see if you get a reply. Not even any replies on two of their topics. Guess that KLLM drivers are not checking lately, and for all that I know, that email address does not rezlly even work.

 

Well after reading all here, I finally made a decision. I am starting with Transport 21 on the 15th. We talked alot, and I like what I heard. I am going with the L/P. The owner has started his own company again, followinig in his fathers footsteps. Keeping it small. No more then 150 trucks, and he has the freight.

My truck will be a 2010 Cascadia. You can check on their web site and see the specs.

What sold me was that their payments are based on a 4 week month. I can chose to have an additional payment taken out on the months with 5 weeks. This will benefit me becuase of my travels to China. The extra payment will take care of mypayment when I am gone, and since I am travelling back over again in 9-12 months, my payments are taken care while I am there for 3 weeks.

Also what sold me was the fact that if the owner sees that I am trying to pay off soon, he will help me to get the truck re-financed.

Well keep all posted. I know that their are many that do not like L/P, but after Chapter 13 3 months ago, I need to start somewhere, and they report.

 

I agree, what does my topic on Transport 21 have to do with ATS, or Anderson
