    Been at Morehouse almost 3 years now as an owner OP...another former greater o driver here also and been here longer than me and now an owner op .
    I was only at Morehouse a few months before I bought a truck and leased on so really can't speak to the company side anymore...2 different worlds.

    If you go back over the thread you'll find some good info on them. They haul their own freight, new or near new trucks in, nice reefer units, good benefits and short orientation. I've driven local and OTR for them, good company.

    Would you recommend greater Omaha? I'm looking for a reefer outfit that allows inverters has apu paid satellite radio and preferably satellite tv but not a deal breaker.

    They have they're own freight outbound but very little inbound , keep on mind the freight market is bad now for carriers not long established and well positioned.

    I see you live in Michigan.
    I'd call zeitner and sons in Omaha.
    They run the hail out of Michigan and ohio .
    Very good pay and nice equipment are the pros .
    Cons are all meat loads out bound and they are demanding.

    That's what I've heard about zeitner. I'm actually looking for more coast to coast or lower 48. Home time not being a issue for me for the next year or so.
