With the way the industry has turned out and the way its going and may be for some time. The question is. Is it better to work for a company owned by a former truck driver, or a company owned by a never drove commercial trucks person? I know there are companies that are owned both ways out there and would just like to get everyones feed back on this. thanks.

Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.
Real question here for all drivers

Well Transam is owned by a former truck driver and its just as bad, or just as good as any of the other big companies from reading the posts. I work for them and have had more downs than ups myself. Take that for what its worth and know that is just me I'm talking about. Am on some other posts if you want to look for them.
Believe that every company is struggleing to stay afloat at the moment. -
I was looking at as far as, when it comes to treating drivers right or better and equipment, saftey, not so much frieght, everyone is hurting right now. But thanks for your input.

I dont think it would matter if the owner was a former driver or not. It depends on how the upper management people treat the employees that report to them. Remember the "trickle down" effect? You'll just have to do your homework, take the time to research the company. Look at driver longivity that will tell you a lot. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you are talking to a recruiter. They want to know all about you so don't be shy, ask what you want to know. Have a list of questions for them. Above all, talk about how you want to be treated, do you have specific issues? If so discuss them. Don't forget to ask about wages and benefits. Do remember though, that the trucking industry is slow to say the least. Look at the stability of the company. Are they solvent? Don't forget... there is no such thing as a dumb question. Best of luck

Be careful, recruiters lie like rugs. At least they do here at US Xpress.

They do it everywhere. I think it's a requirement for recruiters.
