    Thanks but no thanks on the #. Is it unlisted?
    I'm sure Serge and the fella's are swell folks but I only have to deal with the trucks and the drivers out here, sharing the infrastructure and facilities.
    Once again I'll tell you I'm not impressed.
    Sometimes you can tell the type of company people work for by how they (the drivers)conduct themselves.
    You most likely mistook my sarcasm as a slam and for that my apology.
    From your posts are we to think they are the pinnacle of the Chicago suburban carriers? Which isn't reflected in their csa scores or other drivers I've spoken with, including other posters.
    When you say "check them out yourself " that's precisely what most are doing on the site.
    Since they don't have several hundred pages in a "best company" thread I will be going with what I see, hear, read and experience out here as opposed to a new poster extolling the virtues of a company whose reputation is marginal, in response to a negative comment from a ex employee.

    I'm sorry if an opposing opinion on your favorite company causes you undue duress.

    Up to...key words lol. 87 is about average in my line of driving so I don't know who all they are being compared to. UPS, OD, FXF, Estes, ABF, all have a lot of guys knocking out more than that. UPSF does to I believe, I'll leave it up to @Russian Rabbit to answer that one because he would know better.

    The company sounds like the best thing since satellite radio.

    Can't understand why the negative reviews. But I do enjoy the rebuttals from the corporate IT and image monitor.

    And @bryan21384 I suggest you get on board soon, as I predict the next sponsored survey will put them firmly in the #2 spot.

    These opinions are my own and based only on my experiences with them, sharing the same freight lanes west of Chicago.

    Man, I think a good number of drivers may be doing pretty good with them. You're right about the wording, but I think drivers are making pretty good steady money. They can hang with anybody. Look on their website, they have pretty decent customer base.

    I am not saying anything bad about them, I honestly know nothing of the company but that article is waaayyyyyy off base. There are a bunch of companies you can make more than that and without having to jump thru hoops. I'm guessing the up to involved jumping thru hoops such as fuel mileage and all that stuff otr companies like to put out there as potential pay.

    It depends. Many companies up that way pay a better cpm than the household names. On average you'll find around 50 com, and if you're running closer to 3000 miles per week, it's not impossible to see that type of money. That's why I look at mileage guaranteed when I pick a company. As long as they're paying near the average for experienced drivers, its doable out here. Those incentives, man they definitely speed up the process lol
