    I've talked to couple of their drivers, they seemed happy there. The pay if I remember, is on a sliding scale. The trucks are T600's.
    I talked to Mark Toca, I think that's his name, he's the guy to talk to about hiring in. I've gotten a Christmas card from them the last 2 years!:biggrin_2559:

    I've never heard anything bad about them

    They would be someone I'd strongly consider. At the time, it just wouldn't have worked for me, but would for most. Give em a call, they're in Canton Mi.
    What do ya have to lose?:biggrin_25525:

    deiseldon. You're correct on Mark. One really decent guy. I've talked with him a couple times on the phone. I gave him my history, and it seemed he wanted me to come over for a face to face. The only reason I didn't go with them was because of the situation with my wife. That 7 days I got after 2 weeks out worked better for me.:biggrin_25525:

    I know at one time, the trucks were governed to 75mph. I believe they're down to 65 now. Those trucks were nice. I was in a T6 at the time myself, and it was a very nice one. Theirs were even nicer. Same interior, but had all the gauges and a few other things that were nice.

    They certainly would talk to ya!:biggrin_25525:

    Thanks Don. Ya, I see your pointe. Good way to look at it.

    I thought A.D. might be a fit for me at one time. I've nothing bad to say of them at all. The guys I spoke with that are with them seemed a cut above a lot of other places.
    I chose not to go there because of my wifes health, I needed more time at home than they could give me. In fact, I'm not driving at all right now since mid June.

    But some day, only time will tell.:biggrin_25525:

    Hope to you see as well, I'll be in the red F250 giving ya break!!:biggrin_25525:
