    Lots of late nite runs, midnite deliveries, and sitting in the docks for long hours. I would do dry van instead.

    I know @Bumper worked there too. Their entire fleet is leased to Prime. I think that's who Youtube's allieknight works for.

    As far as I know it isn't , from what I understand o&s was bought by Prime several years ago , in the 4 years I worked with prime the only o&s trucks I seen were day cabs shuttling trailers around springfield , but that info is just hearsay and speculation I don't have any actual facts about them

    I have been in nearly daily contact with two drivers. Hate to give it away but this is a great company to work for. Great Tractors. Great Office Staff. Plenty of freight. Weekly VERY acheivable fuel bonuses. Only downside so far is the Super Single Tires but I dont buy em so cant complain too much.
