    What a shame....I would have figured a company with such a simple website would be all about making drivers happy! For instance, Raven Transport....They have, get this, a WAITING list! They don't advertise, that I know of. I am on their waiting list, but there's a guy ahead of me whose been on it since last year.

    Another company that has a waiting list is Kelly Trucking out of Alabama. Wery odd to hear of a waiting list....I guess I shoudl avoid Continental. Check out their site; the stuff they say sounds pretty good.

    truckdriver402;950925, I have worked for Continental for 13 years, have driven dedicated runs, shuttle runs and regional ( OH, MI, IN, KY & a little PA ). As with all companies there are good and bad points. They maintain their equipment really well, have a good vacation system and fair wages. Their insurance often changes but is par with most others. They tend to run you pretty hard and sometimes you wait for a couple days for a run. A lot of it depends on the relationship with your dispatcher, some are willing to work with you, others not so much. For that reason I never went OTR with them, and was generally home almost every night. I now work in the yard jockeying trailers on Sat. Don't know when you posted your message, hope this helps. weaversidney
