    This is a great family run company. They try very hard to be fair in all issues. Safety is a strong factor and customer satisfaction is another. If you run the risk of increasing their DOT exposure or raising their insurance rates, or losing customers then you won't be a good fit. They're not gonna overlook these factors because it affects their (and your) bottom line. They've just made increases in vacation & layover time. Tell 'em Rodger from NY sent you!

    This is a good company. I ran regional for 8 months out of Wichita, Ks. Was fair hourly wage. As long as you're working they want to pay. When you drop on the bottom line for pre-trip your pay starts, and it don't end till after you complete post-trip. That don't mean 2hrs at Walmart. Good fair folks, but they are not stupid.
    Trucks are old but well maintained. If you have a problem, they get it fixed and pay you for down time.
