    dont work there!!! dont even call them!!!-they are liar's and cheats and will not pay you-they round of miles by the hundreds-not paying you for layover or detention or anything else-they treat you bad and their equipment is not safe-the drivers agreement(which they will break and break often)is totally one sided and even worse leaves you liable for so many things-they have had more than their share of guys drop trailers and abandon trucks because of the way they treat their drivers-my first fuel fill up they had me wait 3 hours to confirm and reconfirm everything because they had someone steal gas/money before-i guess that makes every driver a thief in their eyes-whether you want to run dirty or not-they make you due to their load selection-if you dont play ball you sit-get caught its all on you-mostly-accident? see drivers agreement-injury? see drivers agreement you cant do anything or collect anything due to the fact you signed all your rights away-this is the type of company that makes the shady and unsafe companies look good-it has to be one of the worst of all time-if you can find their add on craigslist(the only place they troll)look at their add-its a hoot-besides all lies and BS-they say their CEO is a driver-lol-you mean the guy who runs a truck is also in board meetings and on the phone all day making big moves?checking stock quotes and running a tight ship? too bad they lie about how many trucks they have-dont care about safety and the 24/7 dispatch they have goes home at 5pm-lol they worst-no benefits or insurance-they still owe me and several drivers and part of their "MO" is get a new driver or someone who has trouble getting a job elsewhere and use the #### out of them while you wait for hours for gas and in dock doors with no pay-then after 3 weeks when you are expecting your first check there will be a"problem" long and short of it-expect the first check to come after a month-it wont be all there anyway-seems to coincide with another two week trip and will string you along make promises ectect-they even used the old"checks in the mail" on me- now they owe 6 weeks and you have one small check to show for 8k-10kmiles if not more-whether you quit at that time or not dont expect to get paid in full or at all unless its that same amount of time(4-6weeks) and if you go out again-may god have mercy on you because they wont have any for you and more that you will be owed-dont get me started on how they dispatch and who does the dispatching let alone the crappy equipment they have -no APU's or anything of comfort/:biggrin_25523: no inverters ect ect-none of their 5 tractors could pass a roadside-just saying-besides using every trick to not pay you(i know two other drivers who have been owed longer)they still come up with excuses how THEY had to make lease payments or THEY had to pay for insurance or whatever-shows how THEY care about YOU!! I want to and could go on but at the end of my limit and without repeating too many things and making sense(not just rambling) and without anything good to say-AT ALL-there should be no doubt this is a bad company and should be avoided at all costs-if you do call them-ask for MATT-he is the head liar over there and will sell you whatever it is you want to buy

    Thanks for the heads up about this company. It's a shame that Chicago has a lot of shady trucking companies.

    Seems to me you've had bad luck in your first year driving Chismi, getting attached to two loser outfits. Amerifreight and this one.:biggrin_25513:

    Are you going with these because they offer better hometime than the bigger companies ?
