    Anybody know anything about these people ??

    I've got a buddy that lives just west of The Cities that was asking if they were good or not I told him I'd check here and see what you guys/gals knew if anything (he's not real good w/computers)..

    Website looks like all food grade but no mention of pay scale unless I missed it ??

    Few guys in my hometown drive for them, I've also loading with a bunch, they haul alot of raw milk, honey, orange juice, and syrup. Very nice equipment, and excellent maintence shop. as far a pay it 30-35 cents a mile last i knew but they changed a bunch of options for pay now.

    I just remembered a guy I know switched to them a while back, but I haven't seen him lately. The people I know have stayed with them, if that is any help.

    A little update here...

    I'll be leaving out my pickup in the morning for Caledonia, MN after bombing them with questions over the last couple weeks I'm convinced its the right move for me..

    Orientation starts Monday morning it suppose to last about as long as it takes for the drug test to come back.. :smt023
     
    The Challenger and shriner75 Thank this.

    What turned you away from the local gig if you don't mind my asking? I've seen Caledonia a few times down this way and they have some of the nicest trucks on the road.
     
    groundpounder Thanks this.

    My construction gig started out good then they cut our hours back, without the OT it wasn't that good a paying job....Plus the last half of the summer they stuck me in a tri axel dump every day because they couldn't find drivers and it was boring as heck !! Money was the main factor though...

    Good luck with them. I don't know of anyone with issues, other than all makes of trucks have issues, even Paccars.

    Please check back with us once in awhile to let us know how it's going.

    Second and hopefully last day of orientation *if* the drug test comes back today...

    So far this has got to be one of the best places I've stopped, I've worked for and been leased too a bunch over the years, nothing but impressed with everyone and everything so far..
     
    shriner75 and The Challenger Thank this.
