    Very simple post . Stay away . Owned by Serbians , 1 office in IL , 1 in IN . And, also ran from Serbia .
    O/O’s pay 20% to the company , fuel and insurance plus an escrow.
    They build themselves up as a “platinum “ carrier. Using multiple loadboards , but on my short time here , and in California, their loads have been crap . And all you get are excuses as to why .
    They book heavy loads , no regads to you’re truck or fuel consumption. If you piss them off ... the communication shuts off .
    The loads I was offered were bottom of the barrel loads . Detention time is noted , and for the moment not paid .
    First load confirmation took a lot of haggling to get ... and they cut out a lot of info on it so you cannot contact the broker to verify your actual pay on the load .
    This is what I call a cash register operation, raking in $$$ and having little regard for the O/O .
    I was wondering g if the ELD laws would wipe out the Chcago/European trucking mafia , but many have adapted an continue their shady busineses .

    Not true as far as foreign. But many companies are shady as American companies. The particular company mentioned has multiple MCs, has over sea dispatchers.

    Companies like this have a new motto. “Sell the load to the owner”.

    While market is slow, they still need to screw you.

    If you want an actual good company from Chicago, foreign owned, 100% owner operator, 100% transparent(every original confirmation from broker or direct customer sent you by forward email) , no hidden fees, etc, go to Matrix, but they’re very strict with HOS, load securement, on time deliveries (no strong solo BS), and it’s 10%.

    That’s the only company out of Chicago I found reputable. Over 60 trucks and all owner operators that came from word of mouth/no ads. Look them up and call them.

    Good luck brother. Ask for Vlad or Alex.

    I know many companies there, from Amerifreight, Silvicom, and many more to name. But that company Matrix is legit, or if you want a really smaller outfit I know a good company from Newark, DE. Triple R Express.

    Strict on HOS? That right there is a deal breaker. But anyway, if you're using their MC then, they have to cover their ###
