    Did a search on the forum for info on these 4 companies. Only a couple has small threads and those were from '08 & '09. Looking for updated opinions on these companies, all of which had ads for regional positions in my local paper with weekly home time:

    Decker Truck Lines---IA (1 thread from '098))
    Pohl Trucking--OH (1 thread from '09)
    AG Trucking Services--IN (1 thread from '09)
    Flash Trucking--WI (no info found)

    Thanks in advance

    I drove for Flash only for a week or two,It was hauling garbage to landfills back in the early 90's. They seemed like a nice company to drive for, but hauling garbage was not my thing, walking around in the landfill to open door and run the walking floor i got something and started to itch and could not get rid of it. hey, at least i tried it. I wish i could have gotten' used to it because the hours where great, start around 5am done working at 3-3:30 pm. I googled them and they do have a website and found that they have grown like crazy, They where pretty new when i started with them. They no longer haul garbage, Flash stands for Frieght, Lime, And Sand Hauling. Hope this will help a little.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, from the lack of response, it appears not many drivers with the companies frequent this forum.....:biggrin_25522:

    Well, based upon your location, you're in a heck of a freight lane...should have your pick of places to hang your hat.

    I can't help you much here either...though I did learn why the company was called Flash! Never knew that...
