    Anyone have any information on this company? I'm 10 years in the industry and the recruiter seemed honest. I live in Newark and wanted regional with some steady miles. I started last week and so far so good but want some feedback. Thanks.:biggrin_25520:

    Isn't Secaucus in New Jersey? That would be a deal breaker right there for me.:biggrin_25522:

    I'm still here at Pinnacle Freight Lines. What a learning curve! About the worst thing that happened was I didn't get the vacation time I requested because they said they don't authorize vacations at "quarter end" and they needed all hands on deck. MAN>>>>>I will never book a vacation again until I know I'm cleared for it at the job. I'm gettin' a bunch of miles. Sometimes HOW they pay is a little confusing but I take home a nice check every week so I don't overthink it. I don't think they are feeling the shortage of driver's too much because trucks are full. Lot's more owner operators this year though. I hear they do better than us company drivers by ALOT. I'm thinkin' about gettin' a truck? We will see.

    Oh - to bbechtel16 - they go to Allentown a lot - I don't know if they hire from there though. I know they hire from Mechanicsburg area.

    Are you still with the company currently, also, what transmission are their trucks? How do they log? Looking at different trucking companies, better options.
