why is it always the same question with the same companies, arent there any other companies out there, just because mcdonalds sells the most hamburgers dont mean there any good , its called marketing.

 

Abilene Motor Express sometimes hires in your area. Mostly dry van with a little reefer, but 100% no-touch freight. Trucks sit up nice for the driver; think they have refrigerator & tv hookups.
Mostly drop & hook.

 

Jack in the Box or Carl's Jr. are so much better, especially with extra ketchup.
And extra ketchup means more lycopene's, so its even healthier.

 

what are your priorities, nice equipment, hometime, long haul, short haul, east coast, west, dry van, reefer, health insurance...

 

Because I'm getting too old to do flatbed. Although I wouldn't really mind trying. But no condo sleeper.
And van is the easiest, well less hassle, lets say that.

 

heres what ive learned and think is the best advice, what makes a good company or bad is their customers, u could have a great bunch of people to work for, heck they could be your family but if the customers where you spend most of your time make you misreable it doesnt matter, most people dont like going to walmart dcs, but its probably not so bad if your a walmart driver. i say a company is only as good as the places you are picking up and delivering, doesnt matter how good the people are that you work for, unless they pay you real good to put up with those customers. you will hear that its all the same, ya you will go to some of the same places but its not the same. ive learned most reefer customers are not only miserable places but they make everyone there miserable, unless your an owner op getting a better rate to go there, so unless your getting paid real good to deal with them,working for a good company doesnt matter, the customers you deal with matter, and where they are located and where you want to run are what matter to me. i work for what i believe to be a good company, but their customers are the rift raft of the industry, i wont name names because im trying to give it time before i judge but im pretty sure its not gonna last for me. do i work for a good company, sure i guess but thats not what really matters. imo
