Can't find anything local, so I must go back over the road.

Once you have a small handful of companies in mind, give your contact info to them and ask them to have a new driver and an experienced driver for the same account they hire newbies to contact you. Then have them describe the pay, rules, whatever you need to know." Play "keep away" with those drivers. DO NOT give any hint of what you hope is true and what you have learned from other sources. It's a complete waste of time to ask questions like "the company web site says new drivers average $1,100 per week. Is that true?" Ask questions like "what did you earn last week?"

 

What about all the other companies listed; what did they say about taking the truck home?

 

Watch those liars at that dump. They like to fill seats and then watch people walk once truth is known......

 

Not properly secured in my opnion. Needs heavier (stronger) straps

 

I don't like those "air release 5 wheels". I disable the ones I've gotten .

 

Butler. Mabes is very shady with that daughter owner now.

 

What would make you think that the company would put an actual driver on the phone? How would you even know? If the company needs driver's, they will find someone to tell the OP what he wants to hear. To me, that's common sense.

 

I can't be sure but an experienced driver can ask questions that experienced drivers should have answers to. The reason I make such a clear request you ask the driver to tell you what he was paid last week, where he went, what customers, and other things is because MOST NEWBIES ASK USELESS QUESTIONS like "did you make $X like the web site says." "Did you have mostly drop and hook like the web site says?" "Did the company treat you like one of the family, like the web site says". An experienced driver has things he likes and dislikes about what companies requires of drivers. NOT ASKING to speak to current drivers is NOT the way to get the current info about a company. Can we agree on that?

If they put you on the phone to a clerk or mechanic and they can't tell you the answers to driving questions, move on. The company is lying and that's enough to dismiss them.

The alternative to what I suggest is trusting online strangers, who mostly admit they never worked for the company or worked for them 15 years ago to give info that is still relevant. You don't think a dishonest company can't put out fake reviews or pay people to post online?
