    Well, here is their website Ozark

    Don't know how much help it will be, but it's a start.

    One thing I found interesting is that they provide a link to their DOT # on the FMCSA site.

    I am a current Ozark driver who started with the company in August. I have to say, I am very pleased with them at the moment. I have lots of great runs. I do have lots of FedEx runs which must be ran overnight, but I prefer to run at night, so it's not a problem for me. The pay is decent. The equipment is plain, but reliable (I drive a 2009 Freightliner Columbia). Most tractors are APU equipped. Home time is 48 hrs every 8-10 days. I prefer to stay out 2 weeks so I can be home every other weekend (my wife works M-F). They are GREAT at getting me home when needed, if not on my usual schedule, and I get runs through my hometown quite frequently. I am on paper logs, though e-logs have been discussed and are currently optional. We haul lots of scrap/roll stock paper. Trucks are 10 speed (mostly eaton-fuller, some meritor). APU equipped trucks are allowed 10% idle time, non-APU trucks are 50%. An exception is allowed in extreme cold/hot especially on APU trucks. Hope this helps. BTW I am not a recruiter and they do not pay me to give them a good report. I just tell it as I see it! Be SAFE!
