    I'm a new driver and looking at them myself. Pay is ok to train, no drawn out training with the exception of the trainer. But I found in Trucking News that they have tons of driver problems. They ask you to fudge the logs, Equipment in poor shape,don't reimburse toll fees out of your pocket. Stock was down graded.......In our position everybody willing to get you that road time has big issues! Check them carefully as I am doing, chances are we'll be discouraged.
    It's a lot of time in that seat for crap money!

    I thought they use elogs, can't fudge them. As far as I have seen on this post, it's been highly positive.

    Fellows check out epes transport. Am a trainer there. We hire out of select schools. Check them out, and any questions be glad to answer for you. Best of luck!

    I'll third that about Epes....no issues here compared to the others if youmake the cut and go to a school they hire from. Great hometime, family oriented and #### good pay for newbies. Trainers are first rate as well. It's a smaller company and that makes all the difference.
