    Never seen anything bad about them. Talked to a driver on the cb who was running for them for a few miles a while back. He seemed pretty happy with them.

    They are a small family run food grade outfit. I have talked to a lot of their drivers over the years and they were all happy. They have many long term drivers and that speaks volumes. My opinion

    I know some of their drivers, and yes... they are pretty happy. The only draw backs that there is between the company I'm with and Opie's is hometime (you get home every other weekend with Opie's and every week with us), and we pay misc. pay (like detention, maintenance, etc), and we don't touch anything, no hoses, pumps, nuttin'. From what I understand from the drivers I've chatted with, those things are the major differences. We have drivers in OK, TX, MO, AR, NM and KS. and are a small (160 +/- trucks) company as well (which in my humble opinion, are the best to work for).

    Message me if you'd like more info.

    What little I have talked with Opie drivers, they all seemed pretty content.

    I used to drive for Opies a couple years ago. Good people to work with and work for, you are a real person there not a number. Can run coast to coast hauling food grade liquid products, only downfall is dealing with loading and unloading at dairys with milk, most of the time major delays. Outstanding equipment with excelllent maintenance done in house. They will keep you moving and have great relationships with tank washes that get you in and out quickly. Overall is a good company to drive for.
