    I'm seeking current information on the above mentioned companies, preferably on the specific terminal locations that I stated. Or, company information as a whole, such as equipment, pay, benefits, esprit de corps, etc. from current or former drivers, not recruiters.
    All of the Information that I've found on here seems to be a little outdated, and not exactly positive. I'm looking into them because they're both hiring right now, and I am looking for a change. However I'm not going to jump ship just for the sake of doing so. The grass may be greener, but at the end of the day, it is still grass. So if I have to keep searching that's fine. Someday Superior Carriers might start running more local or regional routes, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd apply for them in a heartbeat but I like to be home at night.
    Thanks for the info.

    Noonan is a good company . Small but well managed, savage I don't know much about! Noonan runs the east coast mostly some long haul freight, they slow a bit in the winter months Maine is pretty much dead runs in the winter!

    I'm already hauling tanker (water) for a better paying outfit than A. Dung Pyle. But, I appreciate the info anyway.

    Where's the part of the ad that states 'Offering zero training upfront nor afterward!!!'...... I've yet to meet a Pyle Driver that understands that IF you dump the tank suspension you get more of what's in, out.

    They also fail to mention in their ads that you are paid per load. Not hourly, not mileage, or percentage. So, if you do 1 of your 3 scheduled loads then your truck breaks down and you're sitting for hours waiting on a repair, you are making $0. Or, if you're sitting behind 783 trucks in Hollis waiting, like I am now, you're making $0. Sign me up!

    I don't know what their van rates are, but there are several loads on DAT and other load boards that would give you that information. We haul tanked water into Poland, not out of. The only bottling plant that you haul tanked water out of is Kingfield.
