    DONT DO IT! They contact for a company called Sand Box but there's definitely something shady going on here. Once they get your "insurance" payment you are sent to a tiny dink orientation that's mainly how to fill out paperwork but you get no actual on truck/ chassis training. It's like pulling teeth to actually get paid. Supposed to be direct deposited but they won't pay you unless you call them on Friday and ask them about it. Getting a settlement statement is just as hard. They claim you get paid 100/ hr for detention pay but then tell you it needs to be approved with no time frame on how long this approval process takes. Their business address shows up as Costco when you look it up as they have no actual office. Everything is a mess. Save yourself the hassle and don't go with these people.

    Well Fellas I stepped out on faith and this has been nothing but a blessing...I was nervous about the whole 2500 dollar down payment thing but this company is small...I now understand that they can't afford to put up insurance for every driver because if they do so and you leave after a few days..(which I've seen) because you decided it wasn't for you...they lose money....the lady Ms Bianca is the best...she may not have all the answers at the time.. but let me tell you...she missed her calling ..she probably should have been an investigator...she will get you an answer and solution..I've called this lady on her days off and she's ready to assist...As far as the pay....its always ON TIME AND CORRECT....like I said previously..this company is small and it has a family like feel to it...I've had a few issues ( tires blow out, mechanical issues.. you know truckers stuff )...but I'd recommend Sand and Delivery anytime....The work is not easy...but the pay is good and I think 2500 dollars is a fair deal considering the support that you receive.

    I've been with Sand and Deliver a month now and I've had absolutely no issues with pay...as a matter of fact once because we had an issue ( no fault of theirs ) and I asked for a little more time to get a few more loads in before I submitted my paperwork and they did so without hesitation...

    Its not a shady deal...at least my experience with them hasn't been shady...I've been with them for a month now and everything WITH ME is on the up and up....the pay is straight...the assistance is always there....the work is not always easy...but I haven't found anything wrong with sand and deliver.
