What company offers... it all basically?

Fikes Truck Line

 

I'm pretty sure that encompasses "it all" to very few people.

A poor CSA score is pretty general, it may be those carriers are just very tolerant of drivers who accumulate points for them.

 

Then start your own company. That's the only way you'll have any control of the company's CSA score.

^ what he said. Mine is the best company I've ever worked for.

 

You hiring?

 

I don't care what company you work for the grass is always going to look greener on the other side of the fence. And all companies are going to try to get you to sign up. All will run you well the first few months and give you a decent pay check. Then there true colors come out. They will slow down the loads, leave you hanging in a truck stop over the weekend somewhere, and even short your pay. I've seen it all. If you want to work flatbed that pays more than van then you want to select a company that has contracts for loads In the area you want to run. Some companies get most of their loads off load boards. If so your pay will be at the bottom of the scale. PGT purchases terminals that have contracts for loads in their vicinity. Look at PGT terminal locations and you will see where most of their loads Are. You can live anywhere and work for PGT. Just remember if you want to go home and you live away from one of their terminals then a load board load will have to be found to get you home. PGT is good. Like all companies its up and down based of the economy. However PGT has connections in the steel industry so it will keep you rolling. Just don't expect a great pay check. Remember as a company driver and Lease purchase you have an electronic log on board. So you will get 3 to 4 good loads a week. If you chose not to go home every weekend on average your pay check will be higher than if you went home each weekend. PGT will attempt to get you home each weekend. All companies watch your revenue. PGT likes each truck to make x amount of revenue each week. They will run you to get it. That is good for you. But like any company you have to establish a relationship with your driver manager. You have to RUN. Don't mess around in truck stops etc. When you get a load get over and get it on board and get down the road. If not you will have a low pay check. All companies are fighting for similar loads. The sooner you get unloaded the sooner you get on the board list for the next load. Many companies will not look for your next load until you are empty. Even though they know where you are going. They don't want to get a load and find out you can't deliver. Most cases they still have to deliver that load. That is frustrating to you. If you work for the big flatbed companies chances are you will get loads and home. Stay away from swift Hunt Schneider and small companies unless you have worked for them previously. All companies are looking out for their best interest, their bottom line and profit. They will take more money off loads to boost their profits. Remember their are four basic ways companies increase profits: Savings at pumps...slowing trucks down anything to save fuel cost, getting contracts with lots of money on them...rarely, cut maintenance cost, or cut driver pay. Unfortunately the easiest is to save money on drivers pay. Keep that in mind no matter what company you work for... What ever you do...do not least a truck. Save your money and purchase one out side from any carrier. If you don't like the company for what ever the reason you can take the truck with you. The company doesn't have a hold on you. Freedom is everything!
