    I am thinking about signing on with ACT. Does anyone have any recent either good or bad experience about the company? Everything that is posted is at least a couple years old.

    Any thoughts?

    I worked for them back in the 80's. I know a few drivers that are working for them now and they like them. But they do have DRIVER FACING CAMERAS, (which counts me out), but my amigo's like it there.

    I have driven with the camera's so that don't really bother me. I am just trying to find some people with some newer updated information about the company Lease purchase program.

    Why does everyone want to do lease purchase so bad ? Buy your own truck and go from there, and if you can't afford it or have debt then you should stay as a company driver until you can.
    9 out of 10 times company drivers make same or as much as the so called lease purchase business people

    Anyways just my 2 and a half pennies.

    Thank you for responding JohnOTR however, I don't want to lease I am just looking for current company information from drivers with ACT. I have never in my 11 years done a L/P I have always been a company driver and have done pretty good.

    I will agree with you that most company drivers have and will do the same or better than a l/p.

    ACT is a decent company. I left a little over a year ago because of miles. My original dispatcher left and my miles were cut down to an average of 1600 per week. That why I left, and I had been there for 2yrs. I tried to hold out for 6months hoping it would get better. I know that are expanding their facilities in hopes of appealing to more drivers. Personally I would NOT go back.

    Thanks stormy for the feed back. I will be in orientation on the 22nd so hopefully I will be able to get some miles going with them. I would love to talk to you more about your time there if you can.

    I drove as an l/p driver at ACT for a couple years and loved it there. Best company I've worked for to date. I made great money and had a great truck
