    Tell me what you know. They are advertising home time every weekend in my area and there's not a whole lot of recent stuff about them on here. I'm starting a 50 hr refresher in a couple of weeks and just trying to get my wish list of companies together. Any info would be appreciated.

    They don't use the per diem scam, no.

    When I came here a few years ago the company was good at trying to get a driver home within the 8-10 day time frame but not now. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

    Why would you not recommend? What are the issues with them? I'm curious because my hubby's close to going with them. To be honest very company has issues

    9 months with them I only missed being home on time 2 times. I'm not with them anymore so I can't comment on them now in that aspect.

    Hometime is getting shoddy and when you are out 8-10 days that somehow stretches into 10-12 days it adds up to less time at home. Also some drivers will say they run 2600-2800 miles a week but according to everyone in the office the average is 2200-2300 a week which isn't good for staying out that length of time. Lot's of night driving with little rest between loads because company will have the driver not get closest load but deadhead extra miles then live load or have truck in the shop even though they are aware of load situation. as you say there seem to be issues with every company but I know what this company does from experience.
