    The pay is OK and they seem to have the miles, JJ has been with them for 2 weeks and has got over 3200 miles both weeks, so much better then the other company he worked for!

    Just call and talk to them, there pretty nice in the office, we even got to take the Baby Chihuahua into the drivers break room.

    So far JJ is happy as long as they keep him running he is a happy man lol.

    Ha, I'm not there yet, Maybe we should drive up together... Knock on their door tell them we are there to get started, JJ told us they would hire us if we showed up... I am trying to get onto any of these companies that have respect for their drivers, I can't stand these companies that think you are replacable.. Sure we all are but why waste the time and energy and money to do all of that if they can mold a driver into the type of driver they want them to be. Take Care. TD.

    well it looks like i am off to liberal in an hour and a half to pu a load then off to IN ill drop in IN and pu 59 miles away from my del heading to Colorado where unfortunately ill need to do a reset after i drop. i so am liking not having to sit for 3 days on a 500mi load and doing a 34 because i am out of hrs not because i am waiting on a appt time. Definately a nice change of pace. JJRanch

    Taking a 34 when needed does not bother me at all.
    Taking one when the company is being lazy and will not let me drop is a pain in the #($ though.
    Another reason I like dry freight, allot of drop and hook. No reefer to worry about breaking or running out of fuel.

    Good for me.
    I do not see any reason to run 3000++ miles every week. And they pay enough that I do not have too.
    Throw in 70+% drop and hook, and it is easy. I am also home most weekends.
    They are not pet friendly however, and the rider policy makes you wait like 3 months or something. Plus 95% or more of the trucks are single bunks. Only 2 bunk trucks are for teams.
    So not a fit for you.
    But works well for me, at least for now.
    Some of the policy's are not as driver friendly as I would like, but I can see many of those changing soon. They need 500+ drivers right now. So something will have to change to get them.

    well as of next week 1 bad will be back in the saddle again. got a hire with road link in savannah ga. gonna be hauling out of the port to atl daily and home nightly SCORE. But i have to move to savannah as they want all trucks in the yard at night. So im a packing right now and heading down on mom. they run newer freightshakers pay aint bad .44 loaded and .34 empty 20hr detention after two hrs and also breakdown pay and a fuel bonus each month. trucks are NOT turned down, and pets are allowed so marley gets to ride again. down side is no passengers period end of story nada aint happening do it and get fired on he spot. the reason for that is your going in and out of the portand ya gotta have a twic card. sounds like a good square deal ill post up and let yall know how it goes. hey panhandle if ya wanna move down here i knopw a guy who needs a driver to run his truck for road link same pay i think call me ill fill ya in if your intrested.

    TD you got more info? I checked the site still did not hear from JJ about using him as a reference I am temped now to start with SW Trucking school and get up there in 3 weeks, I really like the other company we have talked about though. I might call these guys Monday and see about their school as well. Must keep all options open for now right.
