    Look them up on the FMCSA website: http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/carrier.aspx?enc=GQq1jfCEVz/dJ+kg1rueaa+xTdXs67oNc9BKEqHBWpE=

    IMHO, it isn't too attractive. They have 3 trucks and 3 drivers. They supossedly ran 165,000 miles in 2010. The DOT number indicates they are a newer company. They have a Yahoo email.

    They had a compliance review in May 2011. Their scores are Vehicle Maintenance 84.4, Fatigued Driving 81.7 and Unsafe Driving 77.0 and all three are flagged as over the intrevention threshold.

    As if being newer and needing 2 drivers with 3 trucks isn't enough, there are many more problems. It appears they don't like to spend money on repairs. I'll bet they run loose-leaf logs and want you to run strait through and let your logs catch up.

    Based on the ad and the FMCSA data I think they run solo. Sounds like an ad you would find on Craig's List.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they work you 2 - 3 weeks and never pay you. When they trash their authority and ability to hire drivers, they will get a new name.
