    Hi All. Im wondering about a small carrier in my area if anybody knows about them. Harold Dickey transport. Based in southeast Iowa.
    I looked at their website and as usual it leaves questions unanswered.
    How do they treat drivers is my main concern. I dont know any of the drivers there so I haven't been able to find out that way.
    I have a little experience maybe over 30 years But now a days that dont seem to help maybe these carriers, especially the bigger ones want younger drivers that they can BS about the industry
    Any help or comments greatly appreciated

    Ease on over to their yard and snoop around, ask ???'s, see if you can catch where they ship from (their customers). Observe their operation. Does it look neat and organized? Are there a lot of trucks sitting ?

    And grab the DOT or MC number & do safety search on them...They do it to you.
