    You're thinking of Eagle .(Werner fleet)

    This person is asking about dsw (swift fleet)and my advice is to stay away from them . I deal with them everyday.

    Sadly there isn't much going on in Tucson, but after Amazon opens I hope we get more options !

    There is a good gig here that's kind of kept secret though and not advertised ; You run from Tucson to Salome hauling retail freight ,mostly drop and hook with the ocassional store delivery and then come right back home in a daycab . $1200-$1500 per week.

    There should be a few options if you live in Phoenix. Are you just starting out? DSW has a terminal there but I’ve not heard anything good or bad from anyone that actually drives for them. I wasn’t very keen on the forced per diem. I see that as a red flag. I did get a text offering a 3k bonus to go there so I’m sure they are still hiring. For what it’s worth they all seemed very nice.

    Melton at least used to be on the list for driver facing cameras. Write a list of questions to ask each one. If it feels off or you don’t like an answer, like driver facing camera, then keep looking.
