    There was another Builders company back then, and it is a different company.

    BTC has been around so long that they have a 3 digit DOT number.

    Looks like a real good company to work for. I ran them on the Carrier Search and came up with this. http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/sms/Data/carrier.aspx?enc=VC95g92bl/puKQ6JV6JumA== Personally I wouldn't even call them. I would run. I have been looking at a lot of companies lately and this is one of the worst scores I have see yet.

    lol....did you even read the BASIC score details for BTC?

    Most of the negative stuff was 100% driver related.

    Speeding (we are governed now)

    Seatbelts ... come on.

    Failure to use 4 ways???

    And, the log book violations under fatigued driving...I want any driver not under e-logs to honestly tell us that they don't match fuel stops when logging. We ALL do it...these guys just kept getting caught.

    By the way, those violations are mainly from 2-3 years ago. All of those guys are gone. They fired 100 drivers a couple years ago. I have been told I would be fired if I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. It isn't that the rules aren't there...it is more that some of the outlaw drivers had to be weeded out.

    Mike Dude. Why insult van drivers in a demeaning way? Why act like another poster on the forum who was talking down to experienced drivers after only just starting himself. He looked like a fool when he did it. Don't be like him.
