Lots of fake google reviews, they’re there for a reason( lots of unhappy clients) Safety score is average. They transport a lot of cars from auctions and people who are moving. Most likely you’ll run 2 log books since auctions take forever to load. They might pay well however you’ll be bending bunch of rules for them 100%. Id steer clear personally.Otr Traveler Thanks this.

I personally got ahold of them about 2 months ago because I was being bored sitting home , got all the paperwork to become the driver for local work but changed my mind due to some sudden family events . seems like a good company ...I might be mistaken , for local work they have tesla and Nissan accounts , pay and schedule seemed good to me , I specifically talked to owner and asked no surprise conversation about scheduling , pay , holidays etc ...
Otr Traveler Thanks this. -
Can confirm they edit/run multiple log books
Last year while loading Subaru out of Lafayette one of thie drivers came up to me asking to print out his BOLs for him took that time to ask queations (since i was dipping soon out of the company I was with at the time) he told me that they paid him 23% and though about joining on to the comapny i was with bc of that but then asked if he could run two logs to which i said no and he said nah nevermind then "why dont you come over here you just call dispatch and theyll add more time you cant make good money running legal" didnt bother asking past that point if it was 1099 or w2 (my bets on 1099) bc that alone tells me they take stupid cheap freight and the BOL i printed him was from United Road so not internal so not goodOtr Traveler Thanks this. -
I can’t confirm. Never worked with them, however a decent company won’t have fake reviews like they do. At the same time, most reviews are left by Russian Asians and folks from Moldova. It’s hard to find a company from those regions who doesn’t mess with eld.
