    Howdy all...

    I haven't been able to find much info on this company. Anyone drove for them or have any details?

    From their ads it seems they need 6m experience, and that you can pick and choose from their available runs, and just run part time?

    Any info appreciated!

    :laughing6: ...pretty much.

    Their ads say they hire part time, where you choose how often and where you run. Here is a link to their site... http://www.giexpress.com/

    I was thinking if I did the Roehl 7/7 plan, after 6 mos I experience could pick up some runs on my off week through Grand Island...

    But with most plans that seem ideal, they seldom are. I am betting there is some dirt on this company but just can't find any here on the site, nor on the other trucking forum I frequent.

    roehl also has the 7/4, 7/3 plans that are pretty cool and from what i hear they make decent pocket change. on the serious note i have never heard of the company in question or even seen them out here or if i have i haven't noticed them. i'll keep a look out for them over the next few days and see if i can talk to one of there drivers for any info. kinda curious about the lack of info on the site.........

    Thank you, I really appreciate that. I'm starting to wonder if they do indeed really exist!

    The 7/4-7/3 Roehl plan is likely the way I will go, but the idea of having 26 weeks off a year and being able to pick and choose runs on your off week seemed almost too good to be true.

    I have been talking to and looking at Grand Island Express and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them?

    They seem decent on the phone and their website, but I know that they are not going to post any dirt about themselves so lets hear what you got. Need to know before I make up my mind. They are sounding pretty tempting to me so far.

    They haul meat from Swift if I recall correctly. Their terminal is right near the Swift plant. That' s all we know but you probably know that if you are from Grand Island!
