    Pay cuts? I don't recal reading anything about a pay cut with Taylor on these threads. I do know a year ago, their top van pay for pad wrap was .37 a mile. As far as not believing the post on these threads about all the bad things about this company, I lived it and I would find it strange that people were making up the same stories that I went through. This is a bad bad company, one of the worst I have ever seen.

    I would like to know why you want drivers to stay away from Taylor.. I got approved. I was not trying to travel in the cold ### weather way up in Minnesota..I know the weather is worse than Chicago. Too #### cold in Minnesota..Not that desperate for a trucking job. I was offered 500 bucks to go with a 1st paycheck and I still didn't take the job yet.. I did get approved.. Let me know the bad stuff about this carrier please. I don't know if the people from Truckers report will allow users to post phone numbers.. I don't know. Please give me your testimonials about
    this company.

    The recruiters from most carriers will tell you anything good to get to to travel.. I didn't accept the job offer. I got approved and I don't have a good safety record. The company will hire just about any driver..Family owned company might be desperate for drivers. Follow your best mind.
    I am thinking about going with Westside Transport. The company recruiters stated that they get drivers home every weekend. This might be the best for me. Taylor want drivers to stay out for 2 weeks..I got 2 years of driving experience. 2 weeks is too much for me. I did my 3 weeks out on the road back in 2009 and 2010 and 2012..I want to get what I want. I don't let recruiters trick me into a job. Be careful when companies offer you a 1000 to 2500 bonus. That company can have a high turn-over rate and the workers can be aweful. Do your homework son and don't let recruiters trick you into orientation. Do your homework on the internet at all times and talk to drivers who have worked for carriers that are offering you a job.
    I love my hometime and my family. To go home home every weekend is the best way to go. Forget the 2 and 3 weeks out. Local truck jobs are the best to have.
