    I know I believe leftlanetruckin drives for them, but does anyone else? I can't find anything on here about them really. Just looking for some info on them, good stories, bad stories. The usual.

    As far as I know Midwest Specialized is pretty well regarded. I know there was a lot of concern when it was revealed Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) bought them.

    Yes, they did. But from my understanding from leftlane, who has been there since before they were bought, the only thing that has changed is they now get a fuel discount, tire discount, etc. Are you looking for info from a company driver perspective or owner operator? As far as I know, there are no company drivers for them on here, only two owner operators.

    Well that's good I guess with the discounts and such. I was looking more company for now. I suppose it's kind of hard if none of them are on here haha. Thanks Oscar.

    No news is good news as they say....
    If you need to know anything, hit me up via PM.
    I have been here over 9yrs now, and still do OK in my book. VERY easy people to get along with.
    I dont know about company side really, so cant comment on that part with any accuracy.

    Leftlane I think I passed you headed west into Minnesota around 530? Well, I was headed east, you were headed west. I went back to tmc for now on a "home every weekend" gig so I can get my feet back under me. Still thinking of what to do.
