    I hate that they keep changing the runs. You lucky if you get a raise and good luck getting a new truck. Insurance is dead. I guess you have to be on there good side to get things

    I worked for this company at the end of 2025 going into 2026 , and it was the worst mistake I ever made, the people who work in the safety department are very mean and rude towards their drivers, they us the inboard ???? cameras to watch everything you do. They micro management every minute of your day. I felt like I was in nazi Germany during ww2. Safety director was a total ### hole. Very rude and condescending towards the drivers, a mister know it all. They call me on the phone while I was driving just to yell at me for stupid ####, like looking down to adjust the temperature in the truck. When looking for a job, just say ???? no and look somewhere else. Not worth the the aggravation and the stress. They are overly paranoid about safety.

    Where to start, southern Indiana ...I'm not for sure, but they're in Batesville. That'd be a decent starting spot. I'd look at Carter Express first of all the ones suggested above.

    New CDL-A graduate, Can't find work ANYWHERE. Did you try Carter Express ? I think they hire new CDL holders. Try the job feature on here, you'll probably come across all kinds of suggestions.
