    Hello. Does anyone know anything about this company. I applied there a couple years ago, and pretty much liked what they told me at the interview. But I was offered a local job at the time, and wife and kids wanted me to try the local job. When I returned to trucking I didn't call Stans back. Went with another carrier. Just wondering if I skipped a good job, and should call them. Thanks for any info anyone may have.

    About the only thing I know about them is they haul alot for Jack Links. I have never heard anything bad about them, or good for that matter. They seem to be one of those carriers that people know of them, but never talk about them.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    A friend of mine has worked there for a few years. He seems to be very happy with them. They do haul a lot of Jack Links. It seems like he runs down into Texas a lot and then back up north.

    This company is going overboard. Was good once. Save yourself the trouble. Starting the illegal overnight hurry hurry hurry crap. Three days to load and one to get there.

    Only now they run e-logs. Look when that was posted. New management. Today they have several Mexican drivers that earn .36 cpm. Currently they are weeding out drivers who have been working there awhile due to pay scale. It is reversed discrimination. Management is recruiting drivers from PTL working them approximately 6 months then reducing the miles forcing them out as well. This is Joey the managers way of screwing his old company. It is a recruitment gimmick but they use your life to play the game. Understand ?

    The Old Stans's was great. HR said they will be closing in 2019. Mike the son is all about profit letting loyalties go to ####. This is the reason they are selling. ( I don't know ). Jbs and some others have been interested. Pretty sure it's Van Wyk buying them.
     
    Intothesunset Thanks this.
