Dont know if I should switch companies

If they're in your neighborhood, maybe drop by their yard and talk to some drivers? (Of course, that's if you can get near them without having to go thru a security gate, etc).

I applied at a company that's so small it was impossible to get any info (So small that i will be one of their two road drivers). So I stopped in their yard facility to peek around. Equipment looked decent as far as tires and overall stuff. I talked to a guy there at the yard, asked him a few questions , and later found out he would be my supervisor. so the HR guy at the main office found out I stopped to poke around (oops). Ended up being a positive thing tho.

I didn't get any bad vibes, was treated very well by everyone I talked to, everyone was very polite and friendly,, that's really all I had to go by. Just finished out my two week notice from previous company and passed physical, so i guess I'll find out the rest of the story very soon.

 

they did haul big box store k/mart big trucks from GA alot of FL. loads

 

They're USDOT # 282577 in Forest Park GA. They're not a small fleet. They have 971 PUs, have been in business since 1986.

Since 2008 they've had two onsite comprehensive INVESTIGATIONS, only meaning something safety-related happened.

With that many trucks you'd think someone on TTR would have an opinion.

 

If they're that large and have been in business since 1996 and going only by the information you posted here and the fact there are no negative posts on the forum or popping up on a cursory Google search, my first impression is it's probably a decent outfit.

 

Quite a few threads on them,

using the advance search.

searched only the last year

 

I 'advanced searched' for Premier Transportation and of 19 threads there are 2 mentions of a trucking company by that name. Most of the hits are were "premier" as an adjective not a noun. What did you search for, Officer?

 

Can't answer the first 2, but TTR is The Truckers Report.

 

The company address is posted on their website and that can be used to search their FMCSA BASIC info at: http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/Search.aspx

Go to that link and type their USDOT # .

 

Well, to start, here is their FMCSA SAFER scoresheet...

They've been red-flagged for their HOS violations.
That, plus the info shows Crashes at: 34 injury, 48 towaway, and 3 fatal crashes.
The HOS data kinda sends up a red flag, at least for me.

Edit: Oops, after posting, saw that fr8te_sh8ker just had posted the SAFER link, while I was posting the SAFER link.
Darn you fr8te_sh8ker,, darn you.
