    My husband has offers from both companies. We're familiar with Conway Truckload - pay is starting at .38, practical miles.

    The other company would be a dedicated route for Hon furniture. .40 per mile, 2700 miles per week. 10% tailgate assistance, paid on all outbound loads regardless if assist is actually provided.

    Have seen some negative about Jacobson, but my understanding is that Detressangle is totally new.

    Any feedback/ opinions from anyone?

    Thanks so much!

    I worked for Jacobson in Lebanon tn. I wouldn't recommend anyone to jackobson. Don't pay worth a darn, and run you to death.

    There haven't been improvements since Dentressangle bought them out??? He was told he would be paid 40 cents p/mile, plus accessorials. And it's dedicated...

    I got paid by the hour, and no nothing changed, when the French company bought Jacobson out. They actually just sold the company to some company in america. It sold for 3.6 billion, I believe. The people running the Lebanon tn office all suck, and what I mean by that is, they always look pissed off, never talk to you, unless your one of the suck ups, which I'm not, and no sense of humor.
     
    tbrown_sd Thanks this.
