    Sorry it's the weekend, so I can't speak with a recruiter. I did check their website, but only saw something about nine months of experience.

    I'm just curious, because someone recommended them to me. Would you? I didn't see much on this website when doing a search about them, and most of what I read was negative.

    They used to only hire student drivers from their school in Las Cruces, NM , but now I see they also have a school located in Canutillo, Texas. http://www.mesillavalleytraining.com/ & http://www.m-v-t-i.com/ I could be wrong but I would not see SC being in their hiring area. They do service many of the International Paper locations in GA and MS but most of those loads go back to Nashville to be re-dispatched west. Its been a while since I have driven over the road and they may have changed their freight lanes? I worked for Shippers Transport here in Nashville and we had many of the same customers. They are located in the old Shippers Transport building here in Nashville.

    They must. I see them wreck in bad weather more than any other company out there except for maybe swift. Trucks look like #### and can't go over 62. Can't imagine any experienced driver would tolerate that.

    The MVT trucks I have seen all look in good shape to me...unless it's the paint scheme or the aero kit many of them have that you find objectionable.

    Guess their policy now is 9 mos. experience or graduate from their school. I'd apply anyway.

    IIRC they have driver facing cameras. They drive about like Swift does from what I've seen. Surely there are closer choices in SC.
     
    Need4Speed, fargonaz and ramblingman Thank this.
