  3. It's photoshopped to be their color and it's a random truck at a truck stop.

    You’ll get whatever truck they have available just like any other bottom feeder mega outfit. Wonder if all of those fellas pulling for TMC in aero trucks are upset they didn’t get a 379/389 like they used in recruiting ads?

    Been out here 17 years and never seen a Cypress 379?

    Alrighty then.

    Try getting everything in there up to the question mark bud.... question mark...that thing at the end of the sentence you decided to only quote the first few words of..... So I asked you a question, never said that you said and thank you for answering it after the fact. I did not know they were a bottom feeder mega because if you read the original post I flat out said I don't really know anything about the company or any of their drivers but believe that the ad is set up to look deceptive which you pretty much confirmed for me with your last post when you called them a bottom feeder mega, thank you for clearing that up for me and further reinforcing the fact that it's probably deceptive marketing.

    Sure. I guess. It’s their truck. Their tarp. Their trailer... it’s not like they’re false advertising an opportunity? You play their game and you to could one day be driving a hood with Cypress on the door... I wouldn’t expect to get a hood from any company just for making a phone call.

    You have different expectations.

    I have never found a recruiter to be anything other than trustworthy. If they tell you something, you can take it to the bank.

    Oh! I heard the same thing! Us LTL guys wouldn't know anything about that, though. We're always running scared from management.

    Ltl guys always run rough trucks but they make good money.

    Swift around my way is driving long nose Pete’s with 650hp Cummins hauling oversize/weight that’s what the recruiter said. 3 bucks a mile.

    Cypress has turquoise truck, white trucks and one other color that I can't remember off hand.

    They don't have any o/o's. They also seem to take care of their drivers because none of them that Ive talked to had anything bad to say. One guy I talked to a couple different times has been with them since 1999.
