Cypress trucklines (flatbed)?????

REPOST BUT ....
It was either cypress or melton ive choosen cypress since melton cant get me home as often plus cypress operates in south east....anyone currently working for cypress? I know equipment use to be old but ive seen they have been upgrading....hows the pay here....recruiter says can easily get 2200 miles weekly and home weekends.....just want a review of the company from someone who knows....

 

Everyone I know who drove there lasted a couple of months tops. Red flag.

 

Has this been recently? My main goal is to get little more experience to lease which by december(i start orientation monday) ill have well over enough exp to lease....just wanna make sure im not going to be making 600 a week (thats not going pay my bills) i use drive for pgt and to be honest freight was slow i made never over 550 a week which basically in training i made more lol

 

Oh for the love of God!!! Why even fart around? Just Lease straight out of the gate. They are supposed to be the best of the best....and there is no way possible you can fail. NONE! Go for it.

 

Prefer to get a tad bit more exp never went thru winter time in trucking this is my first year...

 

First year and already wanting to lease to a company you have no clue about?

 

Never said i was leasing with that company i said i wanted to gain more experience and wanted to see if they were a decent paying company. Didnt want to lease now cause i havent been thru a full winter in trucking yet....

 

Where are you located?

I'd say there's much better companies out there than Cypress. Even for someone living in Florida. Most information on them is a few years old... Considering I run Florida quite a bit I see them around. The experienced guys seem happy in new Peterbuilts. They have some pretty decent trucks now as compared to what they've previously ran... Their pay is rather low for a flatbed outfit so I'm curious why you're considering them?

 

Seems to be the standard

 

South carolina....and it was either them or melton. But i decided not to go melton since hometime is 1 day for every 7 your gone.....and tmc im not old enough....and mainly because in southeast you dont get as many snow storms as other places so i wouldnt have worry about freight getting too slow in winter...the recruiter said 40 cents loaded and 34 empty which is low but not too too bad.....melton was 43 all miles plus 40 tarp pay but no hometime. Cypress gets me home every week....
