    Can anybody give me some insight into this company. They are actively recruiting on Craigslist in Houston.
    And they advertise some pretty spectacular rates. But I can’t find any info about them other than their operating authority on QTSI and the FMSCA portal. Here’s their web page.

    “They advertise some pretty spectacular rates”

    What are you waiting for? Get your ### in gear and call them at the very least. If it sounds like BS it probably is!

    48 is nothing more than a dispatch service that YOU PAY FOR.
    The ad you saw was probably from an op who’s signed on with 48. My info is from their website. Plenty to read there. They also factor, sounds mandatory, and expensive for the op.

    Don't waste your time, they don't pay.

    I’ve found out they are a viable company albeit on the shady side. Their advertisement contradicts their requirements to operate with them. I was told that one of their best dispatchers would contact me to book my first load. During our conversation she informed me that they had just hired her the day before. It seems their main gig is getting you to haul dollar general freight. Unloading a floor load at each stop. I would suggest you don’t do business with them.

    I worked for them for 4 weeks, I moved live loads with a rented trailer, and I had to leave because they have never paid me, I have to contact the texas attorney general's office, they even tried to get me back to work, had me talk to a guy named big Mike who was trying to act like matthew mcconaughey, they wanted me on the road so bad they were willing to match the rate confirmation, so I never went back, I don't recommend them
