Talked to a small reefer outfit one time that hauled chickens to the west coast and produce back. New shiney large cars with all the bells and whistles. I talked to a couple of drivers in the yard before walking inside and they said they get plenty of miles and you will run hard. I talked to the owner and after he told me how he wanted me to drive and then told me what he was going to pay to start I just laughed and told him their is no way I am not the driver you are looking for. He wanted his drivers to run solo like a team and straight threw overnight runs to California from Oklahoma twice a week at .25 cpm. This was in 2007, their was no way I would drive like that anymore and I dam sure wouldn't drive for .25cpm for anyone. I got paid .25cpm by the hub mile back in 1992. He told me as I was leaving, it is the only way he can make it in the trucking business is to run hard. I use to haul cattle years ago and I would run hard and 5,000 miles a week solo and sometimes that was in a cabover.

But times have changed and it is legal operating these days for me. I have had a close call this last year where a man fell asleep at the wheel of his pickup and rear ended me while I was making a right turn. If my log book wasn't in great shape when they inspected me and boy did they inspect me and my equipment I would have been in deep do do. The accident went of went from a non fault to a at fault accident in the eyes of the law and the lawyers. Just not worth it anymore.

 

Just saw an ad in The Trucker - "best pay offered anywhere"

HAHAHAHAHAAAA!

 

I've seen several of there maroon colored prostars with vans/refers in the NE, and I have even seen a couple flats/cons-togas. I haven't talked to any of there drivers. Equipment looked good.

 

I use to work for them back when they big large car Peterbilts,5000 plus miles a week and a truck that would get you put in jail!

 

I tried them out. Their trucks are slow. You have to deal with these brokers, who, aren't on the same page about loads.

 

Just left the BUMMS...., As has been stated by a few here. Trucks are slow. You can sit at a onion farm etc, for up to 8 hours (or more). Not one fine for detention. Told. Brokers do not pay detention of farm/produce loads when, onions (produce), is the company's main hauling commodity. Sat at one onion farm for well over 8 hours, then expected to make big miles, following being there for that length of time, along with 14 hour clock being down to, a bout 2 hours left. E-Log means nothing to thesr guys. As they say. Just keep pressing "skip" button on people's net, when it ask if duty status, should be changed to driving when truck begins moving. Also. For some reason. Their people's net system, doesn't allow driver's to input daily pre trip info. Seems thr company's one man safety dept, somehow enters pre trip info, from his office computer. All this, is obviously quite questionable, as well as I suspect. ILLEGAL! Running beyond the 11 hours, & simply pressing the "skip" button in the people's net, certainly won't cut it when, d.o.t., inserts that read out harness under dash, & gets back a reading of that truck being driven well over, the legal limit of hours & no showing of any 10 consecutive hours off.
So. Yes. Beware of these guys!!!! I along with a few other drivers have reported this sort of stuff to the appropriate authority.
