Working for a Mom and Pop Company

They only a child once. Be sure there idea of home weekends isn't run 1500 miles nonstop to get there Saturday night just to leave Sunday morning. Other than that go for it.

 

I agree do what benifits u and u family

 

You ever look into Dairy Moovers in New Bern?

 

Be wary of the "We're all family" b.s. They may be family, but you ain't.

 

Hi Blacktop, I've worked for both and each has it's +'s and -'s. In a small operation, you feel like much more of the "team", where the boss of a big place, just can't be buddies with 500 drivers. While getting someone to listen to you in a small co. is better, actually getting something done could be another story.( truck repairs, day off, etc)Personally, I'd rather work for a small outfit, where my extra help wouldn't go unnoticed. Unless they have some regular freight, you may end up sitting more with a small outfit, they may or may not have the resources to keep you moving. Be careful with small outfit's, however, you may become "part of the family", and may be asked to do things that you may not get paid for, and that's where the ugliness comes in.

 

I've worked for both an ill take the small company any day.

 

i work for a company of 5 trucks loved it..till my truck broke down and needed $7000 in repairs ..they couldn't come up with the money...10 day in a motel plus food i was glad i had money in the bank....i must say they did pay me back a few mouth later even after i quit...

one thing I can say about a month and have company is your not a number, and I think you are treated much better and most likely will make more money. They may not offer benefits will retirement. I have children too and being away from sucks.....
