    i don't care what anyone says, USA is a good Co. to start with. if you get a good FM and build a good relationship with them you can go far.
    my biggest problem with them wasthe way they took care of their equiptment:biggrin_25510:

    I agree 100% a good FM and healthy relationship is key. So far I've had good luck with trucks and FM but some of these drivers are content with just dumping a sh**y trailer at the next stop and leaving it for someone else to deal with. I wonder if it wasn't such a pain and so time consuming to deal with breakdown if that would change.

    Yeah I definetly have to agree breakdown sucks I'm just glad I've only had the misfortune of dealing with them a few times. An hour and a half of the 2hr mudflap deal was probably tryin to get them on the phone.lol
