    There is a flatbed company I see around the Philly area once in a while, called Cypress. The trucks look like garbage, and the equipment is all junk. Tarps have more holes than a golf course, and the straps to secure the load are all worn out. I don't know if this is the same company, but if it is, stay away from their flatbed division.

    Well it's my first trucking company but from what I have read about other companies that hire students this is one of the better ones. I get to go home every weekend which is great for me I have a wife and 2 kids. The pay is better than all the mega carriers I start out at 34 cents loaded or empty. The trucks are older which is one draw back but I can live with that, even my school had old trucks. The benefits are so so. The trucks may be old but the owner has no problem paying to fix them up.

    I want to try and word this differently. How old are the trucks?, and do all deliveries go from point a to point b?? Do trucks have inverters?
