Im 99% sure it is owned by Matty Moroun (Central Transport)
I asked pam drivers at fuel stops a couple times "they treating you right over there?" both times I got the "meh, so so", kind of response,
As a x central driver, I can tell you you'll work and have plenty of freight, and also, if you get a scary lookin tire, or a sick sounding turbo, your gonna have to get creative with a breakdown call to get it fixed..No maintenance happenin at all...
The company has its own insurance company, which is kind of a joke...(cherokee ins)...not many providers are signed up and contracted to do service for this little small group in warren michigan..for me, single, no kids, it was 54 bucks a week for the cheap plan, 2500 ded...Last edited: Jun 15, 2015

It's a starter company or last resort type of company. They will start you out at 30-32 cpm. As a solo you can avg 2500-3000 week. Maintenance shops are all over USA. It's a temporary job at best. Gl
Pamela Ball Thanks this. -
Did someone mention Matty maroon?..... Or central transport?
.... Or was that someone puking
PAM is a Matty outfit.... Yes
You can get a fresh start at Pam but you will want to move up in the world as soon as you get a chance.... I hope you don't have a family to support because there's no $ in working for these kind of people but they will always need warm bodies in their money makers
... Good luck -
PAM is quite different than Central Transport.
They give preferential treatment to teams, so be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting in Laredo if solo.
If you do get a load going north, be prepared to hand it
off to a regional relay team in Irving.
If they see that you are reliable and don't give your DM much grief,they may give you a dedicated automotive route which are nice.
It is what you make of it. -
I drove for over 10 years so I kinda already know what I'm getting into I know a lot has changed in the last 6 years and that is the main reason I want to kinda of start fresh

Will pam transport hire me if i didnt go schooling to get my cdl?

Go with Pam only as an act of desperation! Otherwise, hope you don't mind less then $400 a week as a team driver. Think you can make more at McDonalds. I was with them 3 months. Left, paid cash for my school and never looked back. Got tired of dispatch taking my loads away to let me sit for 2 days. Make over $1200 now in flatbed. I would not recommend Pam to my worst enemy.
