Butler Transport (the good and the bad)

Well, I'm on my 27th day here at Butler, so far so good, only two complaints I have are 1) home time, 2days for 2weeks work sux, 2) I seem to be their favorite to run the northern tier (I90) cause that's where I've been since day 1. I'd like to see something more southern, but it seems the "old timers" here get the longer southern and southwestern routes.

 

one day for each week out is fairly normal in the industry. i - 90 sux. too much traffic and other crap. hard to make time and money running the north east. volunteer for runs to maine. good miles from just about anywhere in the country.

 

does butler force NYC and do they tell you where to fuel? what are there trucks govered at?

 

Giants- sorry to hear about your terrible experience with Indian River. Go to You Tube and type in KE5WDP. This guy drives for Butler and give his take on Butler. This should answer some of your questions.

 

They do not force NYC, we fuel at pilot-flying j but they don't fuel route you, you get fuel when and wherever you need it, trucks are governed to 65, but that really doesn't bother me even though I haven't been in a governed truck in over 15 years. You find out just how few trucks actually run over 65 when that's all you can do, not many.

 

am with Butler also-for fueling you have a TCH card and Comdata for when you need fuel and no pilot/flyj.You run your own routes which is nice-have a qcomm navigation which is pretty decent.Run all over really-havent been to WA,ID or OR but otherwise have covered all the states.
They keep you preplanned and is really great to know where you are going in advance and the miles are there-you just gotta know how to manage your time to get them all run and make ontime del & drops.
Best company I have worked for in a long time.
