    In Texas they were poorly ran and managed. Turn over rate was horrendous. I figured they would sell or class the Texas yard down.

    They’ve also managed to drag rates into the toilet over the last year on Chicago - TX lanes.

    Didn’t know a whole lot about first choice logistics other than the fact that they have some nice trucks. Never talked to any of their drivers

    They were running out of a certain customer near Joliet to anything south of St. Louis for around $2.40 a mile. Otherwise they were deadheading trucks back down to Houston. Everyone else was between $3.50-3.80 mile.

    It looks attractive until she take her make up off lol. Seems like most just bleed the company dry before selling it out or closing down for good .
