    Got an interview with these guys after Christmas. All I found searching was one unhappy driver from 6 years ago. Anyone gotany insight on them? I got about 15 months in with the mega I started out with. I hope the next place I work is somewhere I want to stay awhile. Thanks

    There are for sure. I just need to find one that is right for me. Biggest issue on my end is I need to be home weekly to keep the woman happy. I want to make the right decision cause Im not one to job hop. If you got anyh suggestions on a company I would be all ears.

    Don't waste your time with these clowns. They paint a petty picture, then after a month or so it all goes to #### and you never know when you are coming or going and the miles drop. Plus they got a big mouth broad in the office that all she does is run her mouth and cause problems.

    Carleton Transport In Gretna, NE Has A Very High Turnover Rate Because The Owner's Son Who Runs The Company Is A Jerk. Their Recruiting Promises Are Only Good For Two Months, Then Everything Goes Down The Toilet And Changes. Pay Is Bad Too, Crete Carrier Pays 52 Cents Per Mile, They Only Pay 38-40 CPM, Which Was The Going Rate 15 Years Ago.

    Carleton is a well established, second generation family owned and operated company. There is no PERFECT company to drive for. I firmly believe your attitude and work ethic will determine your success or failure with a company. Brit and his team are progressive in moving the company to new heights. We are a dry bulk transporter and only operate Pneumatic tankers. Our driver experience ranges from CDL school graduates to 30 year plus Sage drivers. The tanker and you are one. It requires your supervision during operation. It also requires physical work, so sitting during tank operation is not normal or desired. I have been with this company for a number of years and I am constantly learning new things. Typically the work week is Monday through Friday - OTR. Some drivers seek additional work on the weekends. I have seen drivers come and go for various reasons. This work is not for all. You have to be flexible, have a good attitude, a good work ethic and you should be in reasonable good health.
     
    bzinger Thanks this.
