    I am thinking of going to them because they offered me a local position where I'm home every night, and 2 days off. But then again I heard not so pleasant things about that company. They make you run your whole 14 and little compensation for it. You break it down its like minium wage.

    And this my brothers is a major part of the problem in trucking, people still pile at the door to get into these undercutting POS, only to hang the next guy who is making a decent living. Alot of these big co. figure out later down the line that with private fleets you get what you pay for, but by then it's too late.

    I stopped driving in 2012. I have not had a CDL for a few years now. I STILL get emails and until I changed my number phone calls. Most of the time the emails are machine generated and the calls come from a call list. If you are careful and find the proper person most times you CAN get removed from these databases. In my case I can't stop them because people I know in these companies think it is funny to input my email address into the system. I once had a (friend) to put my phone number in one of those internet companies that will send your Phone number to hundreds of carriers. It took me almost 2 weeks to stop those calls. BTW you want to get even with somebody? Pull that prank!
