    Great company! They are the best I found to date. Small family feel, great equipment with APUs, good paychecks, no complaints. Started with them April 2014. Still great in all aspects.

    I bought a used truck in Kansas City Mo. Turns out it used to belong to these idiots. The engine had 94 codes on it. It had been run for over 54,000 miles with these codes. The maintenance they didn't do shows. I am an owner Operator and I wouldn't drive for anyone who treats their trucks like this. Sounds like they are real ####y to work for also. I got everything repaired and the bill was 8000.00 and now I had to buy 2 new front tires. The cords were separating in the right front one. So another 1600.00 including shocks. They have never been replaced since the truck was new. Tells you a lot about these people. I agree with you truckwifejen.

    I'm looking to purchase a truck that was previously owned by Rains and Sons. Its a red 2012 KW T-660, Paccar MX, 10 speed.

    Could any of the drivers who have worked there or those who are still employed there tell me how good (or bad) they are on the maintenance? The truck has 380,000 miles.

    Thanks.
