Well I can tell ya I have dodged the bullet on the sleep test, so far, the model number I know of is ds450hs, ran into a poor guy that went threw it, we looked it up on line for about $519, and a face mask he bought from them, charged him another $269., on line $169, o they are not making any money o no!
Most not all the people I have run into that have to have it for this job say it does, not work for them, I will not be here much longer but will post up too that point for other people to read.
I am looking for other trucking company's, I can be home twice as much and make the same as I am now, and have a real apu on the truck, makes a big diff.
This company is full of it, they have new posters up now saying $63,000, LMAO
And when you drive into the main HQ, they a sign up be home weekly, LMAO AGAIN!!!!
I had some of the office people there talk, and they all say one thing in common, they due not listen, and its getting worst, they hate working there. I talked too one old timer there this week, 15 yrs with the company, 695 miles as of Saturday, thats bad, he said he is starting to look.
I have held back my op-ion as much as I can, but I am not staying with these folks, They have really put the spin=on.
O and my Dispatcher doesn't work there anymore, I have been threw 3 of them in a week, I finally ask the last one if they was my dispatcher, ans-yes.
More too follow!

How is the wal-mart operation going for shaffer in the pottsville,pa area
Anyone know what type of money the drivers are making and what is required of the drivers -
Well I started this thread when I was about to start working for Shafter but I have since left and am now working locally for more money and home everyday. I've also lost about 55 lbs and still dropping weekly by almost 5 lbs.
What killed it for me at Shafter was sitting for 10+ hrs and not getting paid for it at Tyson Foods. I dont buy their crap anymore. -
Thanks for the info, Have you heard anything about their wal-mart division up in pottsville,pa
