    Yeah they let go of a bunch of our office personnel and closed one of our warehouses down completely. They say they are feeling the pinch for sure.

    A little off topic, but do you know where the drop lot in Vegas is located? Dispatch has told me in the past where it was before we switched over to peoplenet, but I don't have the access y saved anymore

    Pretty sure I have the address in my GPS but I'm not at my truck right now. It's been a long long time since they sent me there so I'm not sure. Sorry

    I appreciate you getting back to me quickly! Weekend dispatch has no idea what I was talking about, so I'll check to see if my FM is able to get it to me
     
    atruckr Thanks this.

    Affordable health insurance with with low deductible as well as dental and vision better than anywhere I've ever had it before. They pay for premium parking, they'll pay for a shower if we need it, actually make enough so I can contribute to my 401k as in the past I did not. We have reasonably priced optional benefits to include, life insurance, disability, legal help. They also have scholarship program. The longer we stay there the more vacation pay we earn, cents per mile raises. Most private transportation companies will be competitive but it seems to me Ashley look out for the drivers. Every year they do meetings and ask the drivers for input and they make changes in accordance to what we have said. Usually, depending on the markets and what is feasible for them. I'm a regional PTP driver so I'm home on the weekends That's a benefit to me.

    atruckr, what’s up dude! Really enjoyed reading this thread, thanks for the info. I’m an APNW OTR guy, well…supposedly ADS now (at least that’s what my truck sticker says, lol). Been here for 9 months, really like it. I am impressed with how responsive and attentive all the hubs are to truck maintenance/safety issues, especially up at HQ in Arcadia. I live in AZ but rarely drive out West anymore; typically running the Midwest and south east. I love driving out west, except for Cali, obviously. Although I will say the yards in Redlands/Colton are easy access enough, so bonus points for that.

    keep truckin bro!!
     
    atruckr Thanks this.
