    He's at home right now, and we have a pact not to bug each other while at the house, but when he comes back out on Monday I'll get a refresher on everything.

    Sharkey is a local company for me. They have a very good reputation with the drivers around here.

    I remember Tango as an outlaw outfit..........maybe things have changed....they were involved in some pretty bad wrecks.

    I never worked for Tango, But I have loaded /unloaded with several of their drivers. I got the DISTINCT impression that they were not very happy. I think I heard more than the per capita amount of gripes from enough different drivers that it cant all be sour grapes. Complaints about dispatchers just flat lieing. Not backing a driver up.Wanting drivers to run not quite strictly leagal (unofficially of course)
    The attitude I noticed from those drivers was dont give a S?#* they were rough on equiptment, they seemed mostly not too happy. But work in some parts of the bayu state, not that eazy to come by.
    Oh bye the way, I once bought one of their 02 Petes.(at the time I didnt realise it was an x Tango truck) Its maintence was very shoddy the records were very incoherent.So take it or leave it
    I also have a couple friends leased to Sharkey, hauling meat out of Ottumwa Ia to Wisc,They get home every week and seem to be making decent money and seem reasonally pleased with their lease, also I have loaded with a few company drivers,they seemed pretty cool with Sharkey

    Davis transport is at the low end of the spectrum. Jones motor might not be a bad idea.
