    They paid on time and they maintained new trucks. The dispatchers were great help and always answered the calls. l was home every night and was my choice to leave since l was moving to different state.

    I rarely leave reviews but this was needed. Terrible company. Bad communication. They expect you to run illegal all the time. Some days you will work a full day and only make 130$. Even the employees all had bad stuff to say from day one. Everybody is looking for other jobs. They have an extremely high turnover rate.

    They have very good equipment I was home every other week but the dispatcher is horrible and they do expect you to run illegal. And all of their loads are through Brokers they don't have any real customers.
