    I have been approved by Halvor. I do like the sound of their employee benefits.
    I do not think they go west much as a van driver. But they did say I could take truck home.
    I would never lease from them at $1 per Mile pay range.
     
    Gambosa, Truckermania and Chinatown Thank this.

    I saw a Halvor truck in Nevada; maybe it was a reefer trailer.
    "Our 900 trucking trailers, including more than 360 power units, have continually moved goods and freight — and people — across the continental United States (including Alaska ..."

    I called Skinner they said 95% East of I 35 I believe. And pay scale of 43cpm seems to be ridiculous.

    Honestly when carriers like Crete are paying "green" drivers way more near 50cpm, why work for a small carrier?

    Check out Crete’s thread sounds like they do a lot of short hauls mixed with a few longer hauls.

    It seems Crete wants to keep drivers out 21 days? that is a week to long for me.
