stay away from sweet express/omni transport

OK. Thanks for the info. They just called me. I think I'll pass on them

 

HELL! Mack.... HELL!

 

Grand Rapids, Mi. The trailers have a set of bright red lips on the side

 

Yeah, couldn't quite make out the accent, sounded Russian. I see from another fella in the truckers report that they are from bosnia. The recruiter wouldn't let me get a word in edge wise and said with 13 + years I would start @ 33 CPM. I said, I would pass. I may have a regional job closer to home. I'll know this week.

 

Their vehicle maintenance violations on FMCSA are staggering. Doesn't look like they maintain their fleet. Cheaper to pay the fines and get a new driver after their equipment loads up you license with more CSA points then their insurer will insure.

 

I've had more than a few run ins with their idiot drivers. Front the looks of the CSA scores I'm not surprised.

 

MackE6. I could not get a straight answer on this from the safety coordinators I have asked in the past. The insurance companies provide an insurance premium to the carrier at a given rate based on the carrier hiring drivers under predefined violation thresholds set by the insurer. Carriers can hire drivers that are over the insurer's threshold at additional cost to the carrier.

Time weighted points add up fast when your driving a wreck. A 24 point stop becomes a 72 point time weighted stop for the driver. 24 points x 3 time weight = 72

Are their any owner ops that can weigh in on this issue? How many time weighted points have owner ops had on their FMCSA PSP report and still been able to purchase insurance ? Which insurers wrote the policy?
