    I just came across this company in a random email. I can't really find out anything about them other than requiring 6 months experience. Based off the website they got Pete's, frightliners and internationals for trucks.

    They came through my school 2 days ago. They were GM's number 1 carrier. Former owners got a bad rep for that company so everyone stayed away. They say they have new ownership but their rep is still damaged. The presenter looked like she cared less about being there and didnt really have a lot of answers for what we were asking. Hope that helps somewhat

    There not even close to what they used to be. I know the old owner ship is out and they got bought out and are not nearly as strong or big as they used to be. You used to seem them hauling doubles on the turn pike like crazy and now you hardly see them at all.
     
    Sho Nuff and Faintestidea Thank this.

    Worked for them in 14’ for 13 months and for mostly below average pay but always correct they had pretty good driver mgrs. and would slip you a bone for doing them favors some runs paid descent but most didn’t example ran GM Spring Hill to GM wentzville (St.Louis) and it paid 385 a run and you would be back home by 10:30-1100 am the next day and have that day off and I’d you ran 3 a week it was good money and good time off. But they lost that contract and an example of a crappie run was Knoxville to Kansas City GM that paid 515 and you couldn’t quite get 2 runs a week. Equipment was edgy hope this helps

    This is the Falcon Transport that I remembered....

    I use to see them all the time in the NE, but they pretty much disappeared now. I use to drop by their yard in Youngstown back in the mid 90's. They were a drop yard that we used to fuel and grab showers or use the bunk beds. Don't even see them anymore now.
