    TTR said he was actively Recruiting for GOE, was banned about 4 months ago I believe. There is a post by the Mods somewhere on this website. I've talked to him, seems like a really honest guy and owned up to him getting banned.

    I've been with GO Express for almost 9 months now. I couldn't be happier. I have nothing but respect for Brent. (He's the head honcho in charge.) Believe it or not,I have not had a single problem with any of the dispatchers. I get home to Texas on a regular basis,and have not had a problem getting a load back out. I've been a trucker for more years than I care to remember,and by far GO Express is one of the best I've worked for.

    I suspect that as time goes by, it is going to be quite difficult for any driving job applicant to get on with Greater Omaha Express.
    It seems as though the turnover rate will eventually range from very low to zero, which speaks well of the company.

    Greater Omaha Express appears to be an EXCELLENT company to work for all the way around.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    It's not sunshine and lollipops but it's miles ahead of the run of the mill trucking company...I have days here where I'd like to tell em to go to hell but then realize I've gotten pretty spoiled and shut up lol

    It looks as though you may have found a company to retire out of, possibly up to the age of 70 for maximum Social Security and other retirement benefits.

    I TRULY & GENUINELY do wish you the absolute best of luck!

    If I could pass a D.O.T. physical, I would like to have gone to a truck driving school to learn how to drive a truck. I would also have liked to have been able to drive OTR to all 48 states and Canada.

    I have never married and never had any children. I live in an apartment which would allow me to be "out on the road" for extended periods of time.

    SADLY & UNFORTUNATELY, both of my parents passed away long ago. I no longer have parental eldercare responsibilities.

    With what family & relatives that I have left, the nearest family member or relative is 1,500 miles away from me, although, I do try to visit my 2 younger sisters, and their families, either every year or every 2 years.

    I would only need home time a few times a year:
    1) sign a yearly lease to keep my apartment in Wichita Kansas (along with making sure all rent is paid in full)
    2) get my federal & state income taxes done
    3) renew my yearly auto registration & driver's license when due every 4 years
    4) required D.O.T. physicals & to update medical card at state DMV in Kansas
    5) come back every once in awhile to check mail and be sure that all bills are paid in full
    6) once a year, sometimes every 2 years, visit my 2 younger sisters and their families

    I am still working at TRYING to pass a D.O.T. physical. Only time will tell. Currently, I am 60, will be 61 this year.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
