    And then to be honest, and please don't take offense to this, I don't care about what category people throw me in regards to who I drive for. If people throw me in a #### pile for driving for them...then oh well. I'm not driving for them. I'm not driving for popularity or for people's approval. I'm doing what I need to do.

    Terrible company, decent equipment and crappy freight. You will not make what they tell you, unless you make your safety and fuel bonus and that is only paid quarterly. 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 cent. When I was there, I never knew anyone that got the bonus, which was being counted as part of your total pay. Just be aware. Clean up your record and move to a better company. Good luck.

    Best of luck ! As I stated before , there is a need for second chance carriers. Just wish they would not abuse the drivers! Pull your time(if you can not find better), and get out.

    None taken here .
    It is a free country and I could care less who anyone drives for .

    Crappy companies have always been around and will always be around because they are needed by shippers and drivers .

    I hope you learned your lesson and wont put yourself in the situation where you need to work for such a sorry outfit as this .
    Best of luck to you .
     
    Ryck13 Thanks this.

    ....

    Brother, that's all you can do......take your lumps and drive on. But if you go into it with your eyes wide open, maybe it won't be so bad.
    God bless ya, bro.....

    Yeah..., those words couldn't be put any better. Like I said, many drivers that are doing flatbed with them are generally happy overall. But due to the grace of God, I might be able to be rehired at USX. They are trying to bring me in on the 20th at Tunnel Hill for orientation. Western Express is trying to get me there on the 19th for flatbed orientation.

    Hello I'm in the kind of in the same boat. I want to do flat bed and have been approved from Western Express and Werner for the dollar general account which would be OK I want to stay active. Just don't know which would be best for training. Best of luck to you.
