    My name is Jason and I have worked at TanTara Transportation for the last 16 months. I arrived there in July of 2011. From day one I was treated with respect and dignity. They don't expect more from you than an honest day's work and in return you receive an honest day's pay. Mike Riggan always has a smile for you when you walk in the door and concerns himself that everything is alright for you. In fact, everyone in the office has treated me well, you just don't seem to find that so much these days. They are a flatbed company, and they know how hard the work is (every flatbedder knows!) and they treat you like you're valuable to them. You don't seem to find that much these days, either. I am posting this not just to talk them up, but to also say thanks. I am leaving to do some heavy haul work, but I leave due to my own ambitions. TanTara Transportation has been a great company to work for. Thank you Mike, Jeff and Dave Riggan, Randy, Matt, TK, Ashley, Traci, Tina, Brandi and Lori. If I go flatbedding again I hope I can come back.

    I worked there too, didn't find it 100% as jphelps16 mentioned as I was coming in as a rookie. They differently cater to seniority which is ok, however if you live farther than commuting distance from their yard you won't be getting home like they said. Also rookies don't get miles either, my first week at somewhere else I made more than my best check at Tantara. All that said I would still recommend working for these guys, if I hadn't got hurt I'll still be there. Because I finally wasn't a rookie
