    So what makes a difference if they're decent or not.You're mind is already made up,you're going there.So be surprised like everyone else that goes there is,lol.Here's a positive note,they have nice trks,they're close to a trk stop and the best part is they're also close to a Walmart,lol.

    They should be good enough to get some experience. Like stated above, decent equipment.

    Won't Beelman hire newbies? I thought they did. If they pay like Curry you should make around $400 to $500 a week with Beelman, assuming they are a lot like Curry was. If you haven't called them I would, it won't hurt to ask.

    I hear they are okay, be prepared to spend a lot of time in pennsylvania and ohio. Lots of 300 to 600 miles runs. Expect to gross 500 to 800 a week. Good luck.

    I talked to Beelman several years ago, seemed like a decent enough place.
