    I was just wanting to get some more information on this company. I have already completed my 3 interviews and a ride along and my road test. I am scheduled for my DOT physical and agility test on Monday. I was told I am being given the green light but I am not to sure what to expect next. The job will be out of St. Joe MO at a satellite yard. Anyone familiar with how or what exactly they do? So far I've heard all good things about the company from what I could find. Getting pretty anxious I guess you could say. Thanks in advance

    I didn't see any threads on here concerning them. I assume you've google searched them and their website? I see 'em all the time on 40.

    Yes I originally found the job online (monster I think) and applied. I also searched all the threads and found a couple but for the most part they seem like a pretty decent company from everything I've found. Time will tell I suppose. I passed all my tests and I am now just waiting to get a start date.

    Search ""DOT FOODS"" (in quotation marks to include the whole string) and there are a few old threads concerning them. Overall they seem like a pretty good fit for some drivers but will probably unload a lot of freight there. I was about to work for them but found out they ran automatics and hesitated, then I got a much better job elsewhere so it was just as well.

    What do you want to know?

    Yes we run automatics but I tell you sitting on the LIE (495) in rush hour traffic, gives your left leg quite a break. I'm normally home every other night and often get 2-3 day weekends. Lately I've been running. Load to Boston on Monday for Tuesday deliveries and then a Wednesday for Thursday to Long Island but stuck out till Friday making pick ups in Jersey and PA.

    Once in a while you'll go out for a whole week to another DC running them transfer trailers with po's on them. Gives your back and body a rest from throwing freight other weeks.

    Pay is excellent, my first year as a driver and I am going to clear well over the $50k they advertise.
