Anyone have experience with Vitek Transport out of Sacramento?

New CDL-A holder here getting into my first trucking job. I'm somewhat limited in where I can start, since I unfortunately don't have a clean background, and Vitek has welcomed me aboard. I get the impression that they're, should I say, not the greatest trucking outfit out there (and they pay on a 1099, which is in itself questionable, since we're using their equipment and are NOT o/o), but I have to start somewhere, right?

But I've been sitting around twiddling my thumbs for the last 5 days. They said it's a slow week and I'll be going with one of their older and more experienced drivers for training as soon as there's a run available. Anyone heard of this company? Are they ok, or should I steer far away from them?

 

Volvo w/ 9 and 13 spds, dry vans. They are an OTR company.

 

When I went around the block for their "test drive," the rig was a million-miler. As for the other 20+ rigs in the yard, it was hard to say, but they didn't look super old.

 

Wondering if I should just keep looking. I know I'll be starting at a bottom-of-the-barrel-ish type of company given my background (hopefully not scraping the bottom), but one that at least pays on a w2 and doesn't make me sit around for a week+ waiting for my first run would be nice. Any suggestions for halfway-decent starter companies in the Sac. area are welcome.
