    Just look up their safety ratings and that will tell you alot about these guys. They are a run hard miles for mediocre pay per mile kind of company. If that is what you are looking for, then they may be a good fit for you. I haven't really heard any drivers complaining about them, but to GoTrans credit, they are upfront and tell you that they expect you to run a minimum of 3500-4000 miles a week but they will give you 5-6000 miles a week(solo) if you are willing to run them.

    You should ask them some real hard questions about that number in my opinion. They are essentially a new company in it's infancy, and like many other newer companies, they still run a large majority of broker frieght. Considering that they are pulling general frieght in dry vans, and probably more than 50% is gotten from brokers, I just don't see that as being an accurate average. It may well be true on loads they get directly from their customers in the Memphis and Little Rock areas, but I think the excessive broker frieght is going to draw their average well below that number. These previous statements are NOT facts. They are based on my hunches and a highly educated guess. I may be 100% wrong, but I don't think I am.

    As for my opinion of 1.32 p/m rate; that is mediocre at best. You can get that kind of a number just about anywhere working on a mileage contract instead of percentage. Most of the big carriers are now paying .92-.97 plus fuel. That puts you right up there at your number of 1.32 or so. So, in conclusion, by the definition of mediocre, that rate is mediocre.
