Cypress Truck Lines Inc. ????

They keep their trucks a long time. Some of them are in good condition some are could be seen in better shape. They have Intl 9400I's, Freightliner FLD's, and Petes and KW's. None of their trucks have airslide fifth wheels, only fixed fifth wheels. Maybe someone who works could say more about them.

dude, if ya wanna drive flatbeds, why dont you try a better company. like boyd brothers or maverick. cypress is kinda like swift, they dont care about you and their equipment sucks. at least with swift you get a decent truck. seriously, they are the very bottom of the barrel. go and get your applications in the best companies you can find and work your way to the bottom, not the bottom then work your way up. just my opinion.

 

HUH? but anyway,what's wrong w/dragging the bottom of the barrel from time to time? Just because you may refer to cypress as bottom shelf does not mean that the Hick will feel that way about them. If the HICK needs a job,has a letter telling him to come on with it that is actually from cypress and NOT swift,boyd bros, or maverick then by all means there Hick,I say go w/cypress.There is a good chance that you will excell there.
BEST OF LUCK to you as well.
FYI- I grew up w/some kids that had Hicks for a last name.Their dad owned a furniture store and on the front of his truck it read "here comes Hicks with the sticks" and the rear of it read "here goes Hicks with the sticks". That is why I referred to you as the Hick.all in a good humored way-

 

yes allnite, i did come off sounding like a know it all. sorry hick, i guess a job offer these days is nothing to sneeze at. all my blathering on about cypress is from some experience ive had when a good friend of mine had a very bad time with them year or two ago. everytime i see that name it just infuriates me. buddy had a kid who was very sick and they couldnt get him home in time b4 the little one went into a coma. to make a long story short, an unhappy ending. my buddy hasnt been the same since. again ,i didnt mean to come off that way. good luck in you're decision.... homer.

 

Cypress used to be PLOOF Trucking that went bankrupt.
Always had junked out rides that matched their frieght and still do.
They will run your asstray off and . . . . .
They have a local terminal in Tye Tx across I20 from the Westigo Trk stop Exit 279.

There really isnt anything good to say about them,I would pull an end dump for $8.00 hr before I would work for them,which would prolly pay better anyway.

BUT ! today,a Job is a Job!

 

my first job, ploof, stands for "plum lost out of florida". i was based out of tampa. pulled a ton of sheetrock out of port tampa. i didnt know ploof got picked up by cypress, i just thought they closed their doors. dang i drove some old coe into some crazy ### places for ploof. drivin onto sod farms where they load you while you are rolling right next to the sod cutter. crazy job. hot and DIRTY throwin a half tarp on that crap.

 

Sheet rock is about all you get out of the Abilene /Sweetwater area,then you get over around La,Ar you get plywood and lumber.
Building materials are all low ball freight loads.
