This is lumber comapany. Allen in orientation said 98%to tarp everything even if you don't get paid for it. The dispatchers lie a great deal and only want to take Shelton freight. The dispatcher Doug told me flatbed loads are 90% lumber. That's a lie. The copper does not pay only if your truck is paid off, no fuel surcharge. They are taking off the top and will try to force you to take their loads. (They will say, this is all i have right now.) I call them dispatchers as the only give you load from the CSR'S (customer service reps) they don't talk to brokers directly and looks like none of them anything about trucking. The trucks only go 65 mph no torque. You will run your clock to get anywhere so it's still like being over the road lol. Rates are very low to none existent with this company. They do not know how to use a load board only go through emails with csr's for their clients. Regional Alabama, Georgia and Florida. 90% tarp lumber. In orientation they make you pickup 90 to 100 pound tarp and walk full circle around a 53 foot trailer to quailify and none of the trainers can come close. The trucks are terrrilbe to add insult to injury. Many drivers, had to fix problems within a few weeks of running. Altha is terrible. Loads are very cheap for flatbed here.

It's all good when you start then it goes bad.This company is now a cheap lumber hauling company.You will be lucky to get 3 loads a week that don't pay anything .They take every thing from you and leave you with nothing.To much dead head miles .I was in south GA they wanted me to drive 200 miles to SC for a 800 dollar lumber load with no pay for the drive there .Then deliver to Hains city about 40 miles south of Orlando .that's close to 700 miles of driving to get load and deliver.You will only get 68% of that and the surcharge was nothing.No one will do that.Then will say we'll I offered you a load but they don't understand the loads need to make since.You are burning alot of money on fuel and when you get to florida they never have a load for you in Florida. Its time for me to go.There getting rich and you are getting poorer by the day stay away .

Is Flatbed Reliable for Home Weekly? Shelton Trucking , Altha, FL used to have 2 different home-time options. Option 1 was home every weekend. Option 2 was home every 2 weeks. I see...

I have my truck leased on with this company as of now. Been with them for 2 months and trying to learn how the system works. They seem to be a good company to lease your truck on with. Will have to give an update on the company later on. Hope it works out but if not...off to being on my own again.
