Is there any companys left

frdr & steelerfan67,

There are good companies out there. You just need to do a lot of research to find the right one for you. I found mine via their website and word of mouth. It did take almost 1 year of waiting as it seems that nobody leaves unless they retire. Drivers usually make between 70k & 80K per year working Monday thru Friday and home every night and I do mean night. I think our trucks run on solar power only.

I would steer clear of any that advertise in a truckstop magazine and about 90% of those in the newspaper classifieds. You need to stop and ask yourself why they are constantly advertising for employment? We are constantly told there is a driver shortage? I think it is because those companies do not compensate their employees properly for their time.

Just a thought.

Hey steelerfan. Not truck related, but your team almost got the patriots. but not this year, they are to good. I am Dallas Cowboy fan. It will be Dallas and Patriots in Super bowl. any who just passing some time.

 

Since you bumped the tread I will say I am a Seahawk fan and we look forward to giving Dallas a early start to there vacation, like last year.

 

I am a Chicago Bears Fan until the day I DIE! (Remember this, I'm not old enough to remember the Super Bowl Shuffle, the first memories I have are of Dave Wannstedt and John B "Dinkpass" Shoop...


Steeler, It all depends if there's something they have that fits you. Everyone is different. Like you see people on here carrying on about Swift, JB Hunt, Schneider, all of em....Yet I can randomly walk into a truckstop and see some guys that have their 1 Million Mile Jacket from Swift and Schneider, or the 1 Million Mile Cap from Hunt and Covenant, etc etc. The thing is though, Ask those guys what they're doing, if it's General OTR, or Dedicated something. I do know that we had a Million Mile Driver this past quarter who was working an Automotive run out of Ohio.

 

I'll roll with this one. My favorite team is any team that is playing the raiders. Go whoever they are!

Drive safe

 

Are there any good companies left? I guess not. I'm going by the last few posts in this thread, understand.

 

I think the last company I worked at was pretty good but the next guy could go there and have a miserable time and want to track me down for telling him to work there.

I think it is better to put out info on companies bad or good and let the individual decide for themselves.

 

steelerfan, have you found what your looking for yet ? i run alot of pttsburgh area and see companies all over the place.
