    I just applied with Service Transport out of Houston. Does any have anyone have experience with them. The recruiter told me its percentage pay, which worries me. I would also like to know if there is an advantage or disadvantage with percentage pay.

    I see those tanks passing me going 7-10mph+ over the speed limit on a regular basis, mostly through IL, MO and AR.
    Maybe their turnover rate is due to drivers getting fired from speeding, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I think I'm going to give them a shot and see what percentage pay is like. They pay a lot more during training than any company I've seen. ($100.00 a day if local, $125.00 if OTR) I think that is a good sign.
