Are you talking about Jacko out of Vancouver? All seem like simple things to get answered by a recruiter. They are an OTR company so fuel cards would be a given. Weekends and holidays would also be mandatory I’d imagine. Probably have either thanksgiving or Christmas off if I had to guess

A generic list I know, but I like the idea of being able to cross reference between recruiter and driver regardless.Last edited: Jan 18, 2025
Lonesome Thanks this. -
My question to you is, what are the 3 most important things to you in looking for a company? There isn't a single company that will check every last one of those boxes in your initial post. -
So then I’d guess that they will fire you for multiple HOS violations, its most likely forced dispatch, lodging assistance is called a sleeper unless a breakdown. Then I’d imagine they pay for a hotel.

I always recommend to any driver seeking a new company job. Read the comments ot just from google reviews but other platforms as well. Sounds from what was read they have terrible dangerous drivers and a huge turnover rate with crap pay. -
Just the name would make me think twice.....
bryan21384, torque785 and Rugerfan Thank this. -
