Fil-Mor Express Inc. abruptly shuts down week before Christmas

what's considered bad on CSA? I assume the higher the worse, but anyone know the cutoffs from good to ok to heads up to uhh you're %##*##?

 

Since it's percentage I would assume 100% being the worse. But I would doubt the DOT would let you get that far. What I seen so far anything below 25% is looking pretty good. Anything above 70% is looking pretty bad as the ALERT flag comes out. Companies in the 80's are going to be put under a magnifying glass.
I think the scores since they are percentage is comparing you to other companies and where you fall in that spectrum. The higher the worse you are. It's probably like the bell curve grading you had in high school if you remember that stuff.

 

Exactly if your company is in the 80's you had better think about finding a new job. Once they get up there the DOT will start pulling you around back all the time and the bears will nail you on the road. Get while the getting is good and before you are dragged down with them

 

The ad is from Dartco, their company driver arm. Dart probably went in and took over the contracts from Fil-Mor since Mpls/St. Paul is close to Cannon Falls.

 

I was not aware Dartco was company.

 

I thought they was one in the same? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

Every Dart truck I have ever seen is owner operated. I did not know they ever had company trucks.

 

I think they have a few but only for the local stuff?

 

Dartco is out of Sellersburg, In. and is strictly company drivers. They used to be midwest only but they bought some company out west so they run out there now also. Look at the big Dart ads in the recruiting rags, there's always a Dartco page.

 

Filmor is right next to my farm in town. Pretty sad to learn they are closing down. They have a huge warehouse that was built in the late 90's. Used to see their Volvo trucks as a kid and kinda got me wanting to someday drive a Volvo.

Wonder if I should still get that CDL???
