    they will always have customers because its about quanity not quality with most companies. i learned that when i hauled a reefer walmart load, got to the store with a dairy/meat load and the reefer temp was at 80 for no reason, called it in and was told to stall untill i talked to the shop and got the temp back down,got it back down and unloaded it, i learned that day these companies only care about profit, for the most part theyre all scum. people want stuff for cheap and they dont care how they get it. i tell everyone that story and do you think they still shop at walmart, yup.

    And they are putting out magazine adds.
    Accepting putting them on the waiting lists probably.
    Id go with what drivers are saying.. which is recruiters are telling them no.

    No idea, maybe they're just trying to sucker people in to leases. My recruiter said he'd call me the minute they were given the green light, so I believe him I guess. If he was filling me full of #### my app would be removed from the system I would think.

    Yep. Shippers will put their freight on trucks that shows up in pieces as long as it's cheap.

    I been running the same freight I always have. I don't like surprises. I tend to stick with things I know. Sometimes when you see a good paying load, it's always some catch too it. SNI has no communication with the driver. I think SNI has a IC committee? A couple of years ago, I ran into a guy who was on the committee. They also had conference calls that you can call and listen in.

    Don't know. I was just surprised to hear the ad today, first one I have heard in a while geared toward owner operators.

    Dont these company recruiters get a commission or bonus for drivers they bring on?
    If they could bring on drivers i think they would.

    When my recruiter called me the day the email came out he sounded pretty pissed. I have absolutely nothing on my record that would DQ me, so I believe him. And I was approved last year, but backed out.

    They are eliminating 2nd shift support. As it stands now, at 1700 oc's phones are automatically switched to green bay. With the elimination of 2nd shift, the oc's will be required to man their own phones until 1900 when the phones will then switch to 3rd shift in green Bay. They are in a transition period right now...this will not be completed till mid to late June.

    We haven't shopped at give us your wallet mart in over 10 years. "Get Less, Pay More" should be the motto for those scam artists. And I do mean artists, they've taken ripping people off to a whole other dimension.
