    I would just like to tell drivers about this company it is a LEASE company they only want drivers to make their truck payment,and never want their drivers to turn loads down,when you call to see about a job they will tell you it isn't FORCED DISPATCH but for the FIRST 90 DAY IT IS!!!!!Just beware of this company they will put you through 4 days of pure hell telling you how you will make lots of money and then you just end up making their TRUCK PAYMENT FOR THEM...CFS really sucks....

    my pop pulled their trailers with thier truck(was like 4 or 5 years old, so you know it was paid for) paid the lease on the truck whenever he made enough money and he NEVER turned down ANY load. they have you sit and offer you a good paying load that you can't posibly make, so they offer you a load you can make with plenty of time to spare that about covers the lease and not enough time to get another trip in that week. he gave them their truck back when they told him that he owed them like $500 one week.

    I worked for them way back in 91-92 and they were only a O/O company and a really good one too! Never had a problem except for all those silly log book notifications!
    I guess even the small good one fall down and become a lease bottom feeder!

    Nice!!! Can hardly wait to run across his graduates. I wonder if he trained them on the proper technique of using a knife at the scale house.
