    I'm always window shopping, but there are a couple of places and openings that peaked some interest.

    Does anyone work or have worked for QC (Quality Carriers) out of Chattanooga?
    or,
    Does anyone work or have worked for FirstFleet out of Cleveland?

    Both have a couple of interesting positions open, but I'm more interested in the equipment, management disposition and routes. Of course money is going to be asked as well, but Bennies are not a big issues for me as I already have them and don't need company provided.

    Just FYI in case someone does respond. I have HAZMAT, Tanker, TWIC. Home weekends is the only MUST HAVE. I'm open minded enough and have some common sense about the rest, as long as I don't set myself up for failure...

    We have been at FirstFleet for 9+ years in Cleveland. Great company but, if weekends off are a priority, look elsewhere. We bid on our runs & seniority bids first. We run weekends by choice but have the seniority so we don't HAVE to. Out Fri AM to TX & home Sat PM. Out Sun AM to TX & home Mon PM. Sometimes an occasional back haul will keep us out until Tues AM. FIVE nights a week in our own bed as a team! Management is good in Cleveland as are dispatchers. Each terminal is different. Don't know about Chattanooga. They are flatbed but do have weekends off I think.
