I can't stress enough..stay away. First, check out the CSA scores. They are over threshold limits in 3 categories, or they were when i checked it last month.
Lease payment on the truck alone is $700.00 per week. I know many lease operators there that got quite a few checks for a penny. That's right, a penny!
The only lease operators I know of that were making money were the ones running 4200 miles a week. Needless to say, they push you to run, even if it's illegal! It's not worth it to do that anymore with the new CSA rules.
The one good thing I'll say is they have nice equipment, but that's it.
One other thing, if you have to get a comcheck for any reason, it's a $5.00 fee for every one to the lease operator. They also charge you for trip pak express, even though they told us to stop using it. I left there back in April, and they were still charging me. They told us to stop using it back in January! Why pay for trip pak when you scan everything in????
Beware of Baldwin Distribution!

From the brief dealings I had with them I truly believe they are nothing short of a bunch of fools. I had one of their lease(fleece)operators tell me that u can't make any $$ unless you run 900mi a day. Well needless to say I turned & walked off because he was so full of it.

If that's them - they look pretty good in terms of safety. -
the link you posted is to the old safer site. It is no longer updated. You need to go to the CSA site now. I think it's fmcsa.dot.gov/csa Look there for accurate info.

Here is a screen shot from the fmcsa website for CSA2010. You can clearly see that they are devicient in 2 categories currently, and very close to devicient on a third. Just some info to look at, hope it helps!
Here is the direct link to the csa page for them as well.
