Why not avoid a bad company ?

They don’t want to keep drivers. They’re a training outfit.

 

Well, I have first hand experience. I used to work for them. They’re not as bad as some would have you think, but they definitely have their shortcomings. They’re not a place you want to stay long term, but what training outfit is?

Btw, the fatality (I assume it’s the one listed in the data you retrieved) was a suicidal bridge jumper. I met the driver. He said he was driving along I-84 not far outside of Portland and a guy just landed on the hood of his truck. He was out of the truck and working around the Brooks yard when I met him.

 

I think the fatality is related to this recent accident Florida man dies following wreck in Lafayette County, Missouri

 

What about Western Express? Would you go with them over May?

 

Western Express? not even a 2 star rating...run like hell

 

That was a week or so ago according to the article. I don’t know if that would be in the stats yet. The one I listed was around 2 years ago. Who knows...

 

Go by the company location. Equipment look clean and fairly new? No giant potholes in yard?

Walk into office. Are you invisible?

After stats, start with this.

 

I'm thinking about going to Carolina logistics. Right now I'm at western Express because of my 3 preventable accidents. I'm hoping I can make more money there since it's a 1099 company and get more home time. Is this a good move?
