Companies That Use Peterbilts And/or Kenworths:

Revive a thread from 2008 so you can hijack it and start arguing over something the OP never asked. Makes perfect sense to me. So, what companies in 2012 use Peterbilts and Kenworths? There, thread revived and back on track.

 

I'll drive for $.01/mile, as long as my truck remotely resembles a long nose Pete or KW.

 

Drive what makes you happy
I thought I was doing good but I am still happy in my KW T700
running 70 yesterday thru missiori and illinois i was getting 7.8 @78000
today running 24 was down to 7.3 but it is a lil hilly around chattanoga
Oh and about the thread Transam has all KW 660 and 700 all auto

 

Roehl has some KW T660, but you have to prove yourself to the company to get one of those. I'm getting one this week!

 

I was shocked by Western's pay package. How does a company expect to attract experienced drivers when paying 30 cpm to everyone regardless of time driving?

 

i think white farms changed to TCT, then got shut down by DOT.

 

white farms changed to triple c transportation but then shut down by DOT & OTHER FINANCIAL (irs)

 

I was wondering the same thing. They want drivers with at least three years experience, and like 300,000 verifiable miles driven....

We we're thinkin about hiring on with them and even went as far as filling out an application with them but their starting pay was only a cent or two more than what CRE would pay us as company drivers with our current years driven.

If shiny, flashy trucks is the only advantage, I'll pass. If experienced drivers is what you want, then pay them for what they're worth. Not everybody is only interested in just having a purdy truck.

 

I hear that,but alot of companies pay poverty wages ever since our economy took a dive.But many have increased their pay pkg and benefits too.

 

That's true... Unfortunately Western isn't one of them. The trucks are pretty but it's not worth 700 dollars less a month to drive one... I'll stick to my ###### little Freightliner. lol
