    If your just starting out, celadon will make you team for 6 months after your initial training. That's why I scratched them from my list.

    Van Wyk DOES have very nice equipment. The only reason I never considered them in my career is because they go to the east coast regularly/exclusively. As bzinger said, you should have absolutely no problem at all getting home regularly living over there.
    I wasn't aware that they pay on percentage....they didn't used to. If they do, 20.5% is low---even for reefer freight.

    That's what I was thinking 20.5% is low but it's a good starting company

    Anyone thinking of Celadon, make sure you read today's "TTR newsflash", Celadon accused of stealing 3.8 million dollars in fuel rebates from their drivers, which, apparently is not so unheard of.
