    I am thinking about leaving my current company and have been approved for hire by Sweet Express ...

    Can any current drivers tell me about:

    Pay and benefits
    How the company treats you as a driver
    How many miles you run on a weekly average
    Equipment (age, how often replaced , how well maintained)......

    Anything else you think you would have liked to know before agreeing....

    I decided to give them a try, and left after nearly completing orientation. I had trouble on the test drive using a stick when my last 3 carriers had nothing but automatics in their company fleets, so I was rusty on shifting; even though everything else was uneventful and safe; so they put me with a local guy for a short run.... but they chose to work with another applicant who popped positive on a drug screen and admitted to using methamphetamine beforehand..... WTF does that? SMDH...

    Gotcha, I see Sweet Express up here in the Detroit area hauling auto parts. I was going to point you to another local outfit that is looking for drivers. I have a buddy there, it is regional work, pay is I believe .50 a mile, Universal out of Detroit is the name. not the greatest name in trucking, but they keep him busy and pay on time. He is an old hand, over 40 years in this racket, he is happy.
