    This is the company i always wanted to work for as an O/O.

    They require 1 year at least OTR experience. No Hazmat required. Reefer trailers.(Tyson, Wal mart, Sysco are main accounts)

    Me and my 4 other O/O friends (Vincent, jayson,Jerod, Matt) started with JB Hunt, Vincent blew his engine, block was gone, his truck worthed 3 K after this so he sold and went to Prime since he had no other choice but to lease a truck.

    Other 3 went to Great Wide, 97 cpm + 50 cpm FSC, 176 $ layover and 3000-3500 average miles weekly. They all happy and wanted me to go there. The problem was my home state (NM) out of their hiring area but i solved that by calling them everyday for 6 months. So they understood they cant get rid of me and decided to recruit me :biggrin_2559: They have a long waiting list.

    So far i havent heard anything negative about them but a lot of positive. My friends mostly average 1800 to 2300 $ per week after fuel ( after fuel is 4.00 a gallon or more)

    So wish me luck guys n gals !

    Hey guys, this post is almost 2 years old and the op hasn't been seen in over a year. I guess Great Wide wasn't so great.
