    I recently started with this company as I had read good things about them. I found myself looking to change jobs after I decided enough was enough with my previous employer. The application process was handled very professionally. I was given the green light and was off to orientation on March 11. It was a 3 day paid orientation and I was lodged at a very nice hotel with all expenses paid. The owner went out of his way to meet with me on 2 occasions to welcome me to the company and he gave me his personal phone number to call anytime I need a problem resolved. He seems to be a very good man that treats his employees very well. After orientation I was handed the keys to a new 2013 KW t660 complete with refrigerator, inverter and bunk heater. I have not been lied to or promised anything that has not been delivered. If anyone is interested in this company feel free to ask me anything. I am still in the honeymoon stage but I have been around too long to think everything will be perfect but if things continue as they are now than I may have just found a home.

    Too bad I live in the wrong hiring lane, otherwise I would have been there myself. I don't work there and I had a great experience with them. Follow this mans writing, no bull, and the truth.

    They are based out of KCMO they hire mostly from the midwest or an area they frequently run in.

    I wouldn't do any landscaping at your new home. You may not be here that long. This company is really going to the dogs.

    Well would you care to elaborate? I am very interested to hear what you have to say. I will admit that I am still in the honeymoon phase but I have yet to see anything that is cause for concern.
     
    Jrdude5 and JohnBoy Thank this.

    I would love to but drivers are not the only ones on here. One day we will meet at the yard and talk. Watch what you lose over the next 6 months

    I am not afraid of who may or may not be lurking around here. If you have something to say then say it. If things turn south as you say then I will not hesitate to jump ship. Until things get bad I will reserve my judgement on them. They have been good to me so far.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Well it is closing in on six months and I havent lost anything yet. In fact I have gained quite a bit in my time here. I run 3000 plus miles a week, I have pretty good insurance that is affordable, I have a new truck that has given me zero problems, my dispatcher is very good and always keeps me preplanned, the people in the safety office are top notch, I could go on and on but you get the point. I could not be happier with this company. I am sorry you are unhappy here and life is too short to be happy so go find another job if this one is so horrible. I will continue to post honest information on this company both good and bad.
     
    Rocks, JohnBoy, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this.
