    Sorry, Hubby say's he's seen the truck's but hasn't talked to any of the driver's himself or heard anything. He did say he would ask the other guy's if they knew anything about them.

    Out of CC, they are working 21/7 and you stay in a man camp. I asked them about per diem and they couldn't even answer with a number. They also will train you to drive from scratch, but you have to sign a 3yr (!) work contract w/ a $6500 buyout. I didn't even bother to ask about wages, but I heard from someone else that they were low like 13-14/hr, with basically no movement upward. That's second-hand info, mind you.

    They hire in Corpus all the time, so you can take that for what it's worth. I'm not going to judge it one way or another.

    that's good to know, Like i said i just knew they were in CC, Tx. Kind of sounds like they a pretty big driver turn-over.

    i worked for them run away they will screw you over mess with your pay got like 13 an hr as a driver. i have worked out of every yard but the Kilgore one. They do not like to pay the perdiem like they say they will ask you to use your own money to fuel up the trucks. The trucks are NOT DOT legal and they dont care some of the inspections are out by 3 years they want you in it and driving. If you dont your fired they will drop you in what ever city they can find. i was left 4.5 hours from home. Because they wanted me to haul sand with out training. No direct deposit and you can cash your check after 3pm other wise it wont go. You may not always get your check on time they like to send it to the wrong place.
