McElroy Truck Lines

So I've searched the forums, found 4 reviews on the review page and a few threads on McElroy but none that actually answered any questions I am trying to find answers to.

Never thought about driving a flatbed but after talking to their recruiter I think I might want to drive a flatbed. I know anytime a recruiters lips are moving, odds are he's lying, but that's why I came here.

If anyone drives for them currently, I would love if you could give me some feed back.

1) Does anyone know how much their family plan health insurance cost and what kind of plan it is? I see they cover the cost for the employee but so did the State of NC, then they charged me almost $1000 a month for family medical, dental, and vision.

2) Are miles consistent or is it a feast or famine type thing? I see they offer a guaranteed minimum of $700 a week which is $250 more a week than what I make right now so that sounds great to me.

3) Their international trucks, what engine is in them? This might sound like an odd question but I have been fixing heavy trucks and buses for the last six years so I would like to know how reliable what I would be driving is.

4) Since you keep your truck with you, how do they handle preventative maintenance and emergency service issues? This is a real important question if I'm driving something with a NaviStar in it

5) If you've drove for them and left on your own accord, why did you leave? Would you recommend them to someone just getting into the industry?

If you have anything I should know about them that I haven't asked, please feel free to share.

Negative responses are encouraged as well as positive responses but if all you can do is trash the company because something did not work out for you with them, please remember some people prefer Fords, some prefer Chevys. Some like fat chicks, and other's want them nice and thin. Just because a company was not the right fit for you does not mean they won't be the right fit for someone else.

 

I was looking for those, where do I find them?

 

Thank you! I've only been here a couple of weeks so I'm still learning my way around!

 

That's a great rule to have on a forum like this. I could see things getting nasty real quick.
I have located her post on the jobs forum. I appreciate the guidance!
