    Does anyone know anything about this company? Full name Day after Day Services. Heard it was a decent small company to work for. Thinking about working for them.

    Never heard a word about them but I used to see their trucks regularly in northern Illinois. Must not be too bad as they seem to fly under the radar

    Out of union city TN

    Dads = day after day service

    Lots of tires ,

    I had a friend who pulled for them recently and got loads but they were HOT dispatches ....

    They have their own stuff going out and brokered loads back in prob with the broker load is they just give you a phone number and you call the broker direct it's not a Pre booked load from what I understand

    I personally have not worked for them

    My friend last bout 3 months

    His pay checks avg was bout 500 weekly

    Not sure on the mileage pay

    He said they ran a few reefer runs also

    They are owned now by the INGRAM Company as the man who started DADS sold it off recently with in the last 1-2 yrs

    Decent trucks from what I have seen

    Had a huge shop turn over when my freind was there and the head or second shop guy ( not sure which ) and head dispatcher husband and wife left the company started their own outfit close by and took allot of their outbound freight base

    I would be a little weary

    Liszt about half the seasoned driver base to the new company also

    Safety guy is from .... Williams Sausage factory near Matern TN down the road if that's any indication

    When the old man ran the company from what I understand it was top notch

    Had lots of tires

    Good year : union city

    General : mayfield KY

    I'm from mayfield so the general plant is now shut down ... So no tires there

    A friend of my wife's hubby was an O/O with them. He had a dedicated account with them turning CA and back. He decided to get a brand new truck and right after he did they let the O/O's go. He is leased to landstar now.
