    We checked them out... Gave them a hard pass due to lack of forthcoming information. Stall tactics in responses to questions indicating lies were being told or information made up on the spot and salary was low.

    Thank you. Schneider Choice or Landstar may be the way for us to go. Forward Air is starting to sound terrible. Thanks again.

     
    TequilaSunrise Thanks this.

    If you run under your own authority, Forward Air is sweet. I run loads with them weekly and I love it
     
    TequilaSunrise and CasinoGal Thank this.

    I have been working locally in Dallas and have been to their terminal in Irving, Texas. The management there doesn't care about anyone, drivers included.

    They are very disorganized and you have to wait a long time to get freight. Their freight handlers damage freight and load it onto trailers, guessing they use the out of sight out of mind thought process.

    I don't see many happy drivers there.
     
    CasinoGal Thanks this.

    Know this is an older thread but did you find what you were looking for? We did very well with them and wouldn't hesitate going back. Very Happy were we are though. Best to you

    I gloat alot, but these guys have really kicked but lately. ive never made more dough.

    My truck (solo) im averaging 3322 miles/wk over the last six months.

    My other truck (team) broke 6k three weeks in a row.

    I just got my third truck up and running, but dropped a trans. He's jumping in my truck for two weeks as a team.
