    I see they are hiring quite a bit lately... The one good thing is no QUALCOMM and its paper logs. From the sound of their ads they don't babysit you. I also noticed they are getting newer trucks in.

    Looks like they pay kind of on the low side. For a driver with 10+ years exp. no accidents or anything it looks like it caps out at .40 but that might be starting pay

    Sounds like they have a long length of haul. I used to see them all over I-80 from Wyoming all the way to Cali when I ran from sacramento to Denver and back all the time. Trucks are set a 65 though... I wanna say they used to be faster than that

    I just want to make sure their checks r good and have decent freight .. Getting older now and like the longer runs.. Less time loading and unloading.. Don't matter about home time ..

    IF the length of haul is true then even at the base .33 a mile you would be able to make a decent check. at that rate at 3,000 miles a week after taxes would probably be around 700 or so which wouldtn be too bad for a all dry van operation. and that's just at .33

    I used to drive for them...their maintenance is horrible...you will spend more time in the shop then running...the dispatchers were great had no problem with them... But the co owner Leonard is a cheap skate when it comes to maintenance...his idea is...as long as the wheels spin..truck is good...he's pathetic...
