i drive for system. what would you like to know?

 

everything.

 

My advice is to do your homework. Look for facts. Go on the website : http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/. Look up safety scores. This will reflect how the companies take care of their equipment, one companies standards may be better than the other. As a newbie you should be aware of how certain things will effect your CSA-2010 report once you go to work for them. Your score will have an impact on your future hiring status with other companies.

 

I've heard DAC report much more important than CSA, as by now everyone knows CSA has flaws, also big million dollar lawsuit against hire right for bogus info on DAC reports, so I like that.

 

they hire newbies they even have their own school. pretty sure if you dont go through their school then you need 6 months otr but dont quote me on that. the miles are good ive put on around 12,000 so far in just over a month. i havent met a driver yet who doesnt like working here they say that once you hit the 5 year mark the turnover rate is about 0 and i believe it. you can stay out as long as you want pretty easily and since they are based out of spokane you will see tons of the northwest and montana. they have a northwest regional but those guys tarp all the time sometimes 3-4 times a day and they have to use the heavy blue tarps not the normal red ones. overall its a good company. the trucks all have apu's on them and are outfitted nicely. heck i am new to them and after going through a securemnt training with a trainer for a couple weeks was put in a 2012 kw 660 and im happy with it
