    Hey all. Haven't posted on the forum in a while (since taking a local job) Trying to do some research on Metropolitan Trucking and have only found some old threads. Sometimes things change sometime not. I'm looking for someone who is currently running (or just got done) the N.E. region for them.
    Hoping to confirm or deny the info that I have. Pros, cons, the good, bad, ugly.

    Thanks in advance.

    @Chinatown. What's your know about metropolitan trucking, PA? A recruiter is talking to me. And like this guy. I only see old posts, but they aren't very enticing.

    Same here, not familiar with the company. Rarely see anything about the company.

    Thanks. Even the coverage map on the website is confusing. Can't decipher the hiring area or where the trucks run.

    I know a driver that’s driven for them for several years, I haven’t talked to him in quite awhile but he was running a lot of Chicago to the East Coast dry van. Seems like he gets a new freightliner every two years and I believe he gets home most weekends.

    They have just added dfw as a hiring area for a 4 weeks out 7 days off schedule. Still running northeast, southeast and upper Midwest. Take truck home if you are running out of dfw.
    Guaranteed weekly minimum $1200, average miles per week 2650. Pay starts 50 cpm plus 10 cpm per diem. Trucks have apu . Per recruiter speed limited at 63mph. (That could get on my nerves prolly).
    I'm concerned about the bad reviews I've seen so far.
    Thats all I know for sure
     
    Speed_Drums Thanks this.

    I thought you we're liking the company you were at now?

    The website looks like they may hire new cdl school grads.
