    With gas prices being what they are, I would look into a bus ticket. But a lot of companies have quit paying a guys way to orientation, so I wouldn't make that a deal breaker in itself.

    Ok its been 5 weeks now and I really think ive found a drivers best keep secret! I do have an older truck 98 model but its very,very well taken care of. 250k on new moter and trans has 400k cold ac runs great! Should be in a new truck in 6 months to a year. I tell ya this place is all about driver discretion as stated above no qm so when I call in the first thing they say is what are you looking to do, what direction you want or Ive got this on going here this one going here what ya want? Ive never seen any thing like it before.

    So far Ive done the same thing every week leave out on tuesday sebring to Dublin Ga drop n hook in Dublin to who knows where in Oh then a slow day in Oh to pick up drop n hook Fed ex load back to Jackson Ga for a relay then they relay me a fed ex down to Orlando drop n hook there to Ft Myers dead head to Sebring. Home saterday at noon 2 1/2 days and 3 nights at home!

    I keep waiting for some bs but none yet its easy living here. Ive never seen an atmosphere like this before both owners are there every day and one of them still makes a run every week. That says alot to me they have over 250 trucks and 1200 trailers.

    That's probably why you don't find much info on them. Ever since I spoke to their guys when I worked at the tire facility I've thought they were a little different than the rest, in a good way.....

    Stabob are you still with them? And are you liking it still? I'm looking to go back over the road and they are one of the two companies that i am considering.

    Hey Stabob ! I was looking for info about trucks inc when I saw your message from 2012. Do you still work for them? I have just got my 2 years driving under my belt and received my application pack from them . Hope to start in Sept. Am I making a mistake or what ? How is the money and home time ?

    Yeah I'm still here couldn't be happier. Home time is what you want it to be they really don't care when you take off or how much. The money is Good I've averaged 915 a week the last six months take home with only 3 nights in the truck a week. Anything else ask away.
