    schneider
    jb hunt
    swift

    Or their first chance. Talked to one of their drivers a couple of days ago. Turns out they’re pulling Walmart dedicated loads out of the Tobyhanna,Pennsylvania distribution center,but the drivers there aren’t exactly thrilled about it.

    LMAO!!! Many years ago while driving up I-81 in VA, I listened to some radio chatter from a nearby truckstop. Apparently, a WE was blasting through the parking lot, cutting off many others while cursing them out. Everyone was trying to figure out what his problem was but WE had the biggest radio and had choice words for everyone - have never forgotten LOL!!!

    There are bad companies all over the place and everyone seems more angry at Swift than Western Express.
    Yeah, a recruiter today just told me they have a Walmart dedicated up here in the Northwest. I'm considering it. Schneider offered me a Target dedicated. Not interested in Werner. In a way this is my last chance because I need a refresher. SNI want me to sign a 1200 contract and Western a 2000 dollar contract. Like many have said. Just pick a truck color. It really doesn't matter when you just start out.

    When I was working for them it seemed like some of the drivers had the money for the oversized antennas and the pricey Con Ex or Stryker CB radios(and not much money for anything else).;)
    I did just fine with my $125 dollar Cobra thank you very much. And I didn’t starve!lmao
