Monson and sons review.

As for per diem you want that with the new tax laws

 

Unless your company runs to CA where they’re starting to ban older trucks.

 

CA sucks anyway lmao

 

Well the older trucks at Monson don't go to CA, they mainly run the Midwest and TX. Monson is a company for guys who still like the old school hoods with the big HP (550) and either the 13 or 18 speed, and no def. The truck I had when I was there was an old Western Dist. Pete, 2007, it originally came with a 625 Cat, but Monson turned it back to a 550, backed up with an 18 speed. Man could that truck run, and with 42K in the wagon, I out pulled almost everybody on some of those hill in KY and TN.

 

Yeah, but how many 04's "run without issues"? Especially a company truck, that 53 different people have driven.......

 

My truck was a 2007 with over 1million miles on it, and the only issue I had was a small electrical problem with the lights. All company trucks no matter their make or year will have a lot drivers go through them, that's why they'er plain, small HP, and have bullet proof trannys in them.

 

Well if they are using gliders , there's your first red flag indication that you are in for little pay checks and doing alot of welfare trucking .
Most likely you will spend alot of time on begging for tires , getting your pay check straightened out , camping in truck stop parking lots , and sitting on the shoulder waiting on a mechanic

Don't be fooled by the fresh paint and the friendly swamp critters , pass these folks by with a 10 ft long poker stick , check for ticks afterwards

 

Not the same Monson and Sons I worked for. They did have gliders, and no, we did not have low pay checks and we certainly did not do any welfare trucking. If you look at the pic of my old truck you don't see bald tires on it, we didn't sit in truck stops unless it was for a 10hr break like everyone else. And if your truck did have a break down and you find yourself on the shoulder, how is that any different from any other company whose trucks break down on the road?
Sounds to me like you have your facts and companies mixed up.

 

Hmmmm... How about we just call it : a real good guess , truth is i have no ideal how these people operate but fact is : it sounds like they would rather buy rebuilt used equipment and THAT in itself says alot about how they tend to operate.
....but it really doesn't matter much to me , I'm not looking for a new job much probably for a few good reasons
( 1) ...i don't make friends with swamp critters
(2) ...i do a good job and i expect the same from my boss
(3) ...i don't waste my time peeing around with BS trucking companies in the first place
(4) ....i always fly under the radar
