    Well they run 2010/2011macks, 2014 internationals, 2014 cascadias, and 2010 is t660
    The trucks are well maintained in the shop. We have prepare but no ezpass avoid tolls or pay them and they reimburse you. The miles are great they keep you busy what fleet are you joining ?
     
    wildchild574 Thanks this.

    They offered me a position for hauling dry van cargo. Per my discussion with the recruiter they slated a north south route running up and down the east coast which I am quite interested in.

    Yea, I read pretty much every thread that had something to do with them and saw all your posts and others. Obviously a company is not gonna be right for everyone, there is always gonna be that quirk that sets someone off especially on a forum and pending on how they delt with it with the company led to 5ye over all outcome for the situation, but from what I can tell the consensus is pretty positive across the board with fulmer.

    Inspoke with a recruiter today. Greg I think his name was... Very forward guy. He is sending me an application in the mail.
    I hope I get the job.
    Hey Nelson74, is it still going well over there at CF? If you haven't been able to tell, we are all kinda depending on you here lol!
    The recruiter did seem a little animated yet friendly. No mention of money or anything ( but did mention that it depends on exp.) and I understand that. The drivers I see are either in the seat running or in bed asleep. The last one I spoke to tho was when. First started and he was complaining about the QC and the way they log. I'm not sure why, it just kept saying "it's illegal maaaan" ( with a hippy lull lol). Waiting to hear back from Nelson74 still.
