    I have done a search and have not come up with much. I am really looking hard at this company. Any and all information would be appreciated. I was planning to go with McElroy, but they have a 16 year old rider policy and my son is 12. If I am going to be gone, I would like to be able to take him along in the summer time. Anyway, getting back to Boyd, my recruiter, Michelle told me I would be going to Ohio for training. I want to know what drivers think of this company. Anyone out there know anyone driving for them?

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    As it is right now, I will be there the 14th. Are you going to Cincinatti Ohio? I finish school up this weekend and go to the DMV to take my drivers test Monday. Unless I choke, I should have my CDL by this time next week. Last Sunday my instructor told me that as long as I drive the way I do for him when the DMV tester is in the truck, I will have no problems. We will see. I don't think I will have a problem. If I get it next week, I will be driving to Cincinatti on Mothers Day. My goal is to get past the training while I am still getting a Paycheck from the Navy. I am on terminal leave through the 30th of June. The normal pay checks stop and the retirments checks start in July.

    I have not driven for them but have done business with their company several times. Their management is top notch, with deep rooted values. Hope that helps.

    I'm thinking about applying. I have to give my job a months notice. So I will probably transition into the trucking industry after 1/1/08. Two of my cousins are 0/0s for WTI.

    Please check out all companies before you get involved. Not doing so can hurt you and your family.

    I worked for Boyd for 2 1/2 years. I stayed after the 1st paycut, then the 2nd paycut. After my favorite Dispatcher in the world left, I was still there. After the trucks speed and power were cut 4 times, I was still there. Then came the day my new dispatcher (which i put up with for 6 months) had pissed me off...I quit. Even after I asked several times for a new fleet manager, I was given a run around. I felt as if they just did not want to deal with me, and hire more of the Arrow drivers that just lost their job so Boyd could pay them even less. They called me to come back to Boyd, but i wanted to be guaranteed I would not have to put up with that b*#&% in dispatch. They told me they would do what they could. Other than her, I didnt have any other real problems with the company. Decent pay, ok benefits, ok equipment. Anyone have any questions at all, I can answer all of em.
