    I have been with them for a total of 4 yrs. They are a great company to work for. New equipment 2013 & newer,auto shift trucks,$1000.00 sign on bonus, monthly bonuses. They also have dispatchers willing to communicate with you as long as your not calling them 20 times a day. The drivers need to understand each Dm has roughly 40 driver's they have to take care of, so you can see how that would be aggravating. NO CANADA RUNS as mentioned in one section. Any other? ???? I will help the best I can.. good day

    Most of the truck we have here are automatic. We still have a few manual.. The automatic seems to get a lot better fuel mileage.

    Yes, they will get you to do one at there local physician. I had to do the same when I transferred to them. Great company to work for. We also have a drop YRD there in Charlotte & good long distance runs coming from there. Either OTR or I think there may ALSO may a mid south regional there
