Potential employer research best practices?

You are correct i spent 26 years in the service. Drove my 1st truck (my father's, illegally) down the back roads of SE AZ in '87. Drove my 1st truck in Navy in '94 and picked up CDL along the way in early 2000.

My 1st civilian (OTR) company was picked solely on the information contained on their website, conversations with the recruit and how I was treated during onboarding/ orientation. I was treated well, not a mega but related to them. I left on good terms and if they could have kept the miles up, it may have been a different outcome. But I allowed myself to be hired away by my 2nd company (local) and if I'd know they had a record of overweight violations I would have asked them why. So I left immediately when they implied they wanted me to run heavy and refused to pay for cat scales. The 3rd company (OTR) was a guy with 3 trucks I made good money and had no complaints other than his brokers struggle to get me miles and when the truck he had me running had mechanical issues he couldn't handle the repair cost and now I'm seeking and so far dodge a bullet that has opened my eyes.

So I came here to sharpen my research skills so I don't jump in bed with a company who is unscrupulous or likely to fail.

 

I mentioned it in another post elsewhere.

 

Would you please go in to more detail about the accessories pays and why.

 

Thank you very much for the lead. They where on my radar as well but I haven't got past name recognition and location for them.

 

Give him a hearty "Can do" and an appreciation for his service, both military and LEO from me. I have a special place in my heart for those who serve others. LEOs don't get near enough respect these days and it really gets to me.

 

You sir, have a gift. If you aren't running a recruiting service you should be.

There are point in the offer I've never seen other companies offer.
