    I have a choice to driver for USA, Gordon, or Transport American...I don't like the fact USA uses paper logs, Gordon has ignored questions I have about how their dispatch and navigation works...and if I qualify for a bonus, which they say they are offering...Transport America has been pretty nice about things...I hear they have APU's, e-logs, and navigation in their trucks...I'm leaning toward Transport America for a number of reasons...USA is going belly up...Gordon is ignoring me...but if anyone has any advice for me...and please make it positive...feel free to reply...

    I wouldn't go with a company who's ignoring you before they even hire you. If the salespeople -- I mean recruiters -- are ignoring you, you could pretty much guess that your DM is gonna suck as well.

    I've never heard anything bad about Transport America, but then I've only been in the industry 5 years.

    Picking a company (to me) is a lot like picking out a pair of boots. It's just gotta fit right.
