I drove for NTB for over 8 years but they're a short haul company which means you will be bumping docks a lot. All in all, not a bad company but the pay is a little low. I think it tops out at .41.
There have been several posts on here about them. Do a search and draw your own conclusions. Don't ask me a lot of questions about them as I retired in 2002 and things have probably changed since then. I do know a few things though. You can't take the truck home. You must drop it at your home termial. All trucks have the APU and they use paper logs. I think the starting mileage pay for newbies is .31 but don't quote me on that. As for miles, I averaged around 2500 a week. Some weeks more, some less.
Even though they are a short haul company, they do travel to the Southeast....Tenn, Ga, Ala and as far as Texas.
If you're still interested, give them a call. I do know they're only hiring out of certain areas. The website is www.ntbtrk.com.
Good luck on whichever way you go.
EDIT: I just checked the website and they are only hiring drivers out of SW Ohio...not sure how current it is.Last edited: Aug 13, 2009
