Would like to hear from those of you that are company drivers at ATS as to how things are and if there is anything one coming aboard needs to watch for or be aware of? I know like any other company there is good as well as bad, and there are drivers that like a company and those that don't. Would just like to hear what you company guys there have to say. thanks

Double Shovel Thanks this. -
well, looks like at least one has a comical side.

That"s Terry, I believe he was a sharecropper with them.

Not sure if he's still here or not.
Me I;m just a poor o/o with them. -
I resigned my lease with them, but on the Capitol Lease this time. I am buying my truck and have a year, from the time I signed my lease, to do it. I will beat that by six months. I will probably still lease on with them afterwards. I'm, also, looking at Landstar.
I deliver my 5th Class 3 load on Friday and will submit the paperwork for Class 2. -
I believe the proper saying is: You can run, but you'll only die tired!

The best is: It is hard to be humble, when you are the best.

well, I start orentation on the 7th in Gary, then on wed head to HQ in MINN for 2 days of load securement class. Im looking forward to it. was just hopeing to get a little insight on these guys before i left for them so I wasnt so blind going in. Hope to see you guys around sometime. By the way, whats a class 3 and class 2 load?

class 3 and 2 are some of the bigger and heavier lds.
You might start out like a class 4 low level. Unless you have proof of recent bigger lds.
You will work your way up in size.
I believe class 4 they will let you pull up to 10' w and maybe 14' high.
You do so may of these types of lds. and then they will work you up in class.
Class 1A is H.H. only.
You can go class 1 with a regular flatbed trk.
You might luck out and get a class 1A, but it would be a fluke.
Also the high value lds. are a higher class ranking.
Have fun in Gary. Tell William to go easy on you as you're new. HaHa.
Tie down class in Cloud, Well it depends on who is teaching it.
If Fred ask him why all the straps are pulling to just one side of the pipe in the shop.
This is one of the lds. they will show you.
It's on a stepdeck trl.
Tell Fred you want to run the new 19 axle trl. with grumpy Larry and see what he says.
Anyhow good luck in you're new venture.
