    As part of the Daseke family, we see a few COTC trucks pulling glass for us (at Moore Freight). Not sure if it`s a dedicated glass division like Wylie has, or just any available driver.

    As a Daseke company family member, I can honestly say I only have positive things to say about them since they bought us.

    Can’t speak to Koch. But a word of advise. Ask how long is left on the contract for that dedicated account.

    A guy that hired in with me was hired in on a dedicated account. The company lost the account within 2 months. UPS underbid them. I don’t know what happened with the guy. Other than he no longer works here.

    COTC hands down! You’ll make between 1475 and 1700 gross they have a new pay structure its split into tiers average miles 2800 to 3200 and yes they do that every week which is between 1475 and a 1700 and 3000 miles is 1575. Great people really nice laid back only problem is tarping and 65 mph they are part of Daseke too which is a great place to be apart of but out of all the Daseke companies COTC pays the most at least from what I’ve read.

    I made 90k at cotc from March to december 31. That doesnt include my 401k match that is fully vested from day 1, or the company paid benefits for myself and my family. Easily 120k total compensation this year.

    I did a little research on Koch and I gotta day they sound super similar to COTC pretty much advertising the same things both smaller companies both take care of you at orientation. Same 401ks. Pretty much the same cpm but COTC varies depending on miles. and they advertise 3000 miles for flatbed lot of preloaded trailers which sounds nice COTC is all live. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either I’d go with COTC just cuz I like Oregon and the theme of their trucks light green green black tarps you get 2 truck washes a month so they look clean. Not sure what Koch offers in that regard. Both fly you to orientation. Koch puts you in a hotel by yourself though which is nicer. I think Koch trucks are 68mph???? Not 65. COTC is a more all 48 state company tho Koch dosent go to Florida which is gay super gay. But not much flatbeds go there anyway which is gay. Koch does have a lease purchase program which lets you pick your own loads which is cool but lease purchase scams are gay so idk? COTC is all company. You definitely can’t go wrong with either id go with COTC tho if I were you
