    I wish people would name the companies.

    So in this public thread where I'm looking for a job and asking whether or not a potential employer is a scam... you want me to name names?

    They have less than 20 rigs. If you live more than 30 miles from Detroit, you've never heard of them.

    You might be suprised. If you have a bad wreck it doesnt matter if your name is Werner or Joe Schmoe, you can became famous really quick. Word travels fast in this day and age.

    Have you checked their Safestat scores for DOT inspections. (I think there is still a link on how to do this in the "report a bad trucking company here" area.

    Be advised, any tickets or 1 or two bad apple drivers can peg a score really fast, for a company that small.

    Two years will give a good idea whether or not they run compliant, safe, etc. Even with 20 trucks if they leave the metro area they will get inspected often enough
