    I worked for them from 2000 until 2005 when it was MPG Transport. Obviously a lot has changed since then. I have a few friends that still work there but I think they have been there so long they get preferential treatment. Lol. But they like it. I've heard mixed reviews but also heard they'll take on recent grads. Only advice I can give to someone starting fresh is take your time learning. Damages will get you booted quickly!! The money will come in time. Jack Cooper and Cassens would be good companies also and will train but have no idea if they will take a new CDL.

    Agreed.
    The good part is that a major 'cleansing' is just about to happen.
    The not so good part is that you, I, and everybody else on this forum are all gonna get washed away..

    I wasn’t go to say anything, but I saw an English speaking, non track suit wearing, Otherwise professional, owner op with one of the largest carhaul companies in America unloading his stinger in flip flops the other day. My feet hurt just thinking about doing that. I wouldn’t last 5 minutes doing this job in flip flops.
