    If giving negative stars was an option, I'd give them the worst rating possible! Read their reviews. They have terrible drivers who are allowed to drive aggressively with no repercussions! The drivers for this company are very dangerous! Driving through a very bad rainstorm a Thompson tanker ran up on my rear. I was passing very slow moving traffic, as the weather was terrible. In the torrential rain this idiot tailgates me with an 80,000 pound truck! I moved over as soon as I cleared the slower traffic and let him know what I thought of him and his stupidity with a nice middle finger gesture. I must've hurt his wittle feewings because he started coming over into the right lane to intimidate me. Unfortunately, I didn't get the unit number, as it was raining too hard for me to make it out. Not only does this driver need to be fired, but this company needs to be investigated. On their website they claim safety this, and safety that in the training for their drivers, yet their trucks appear to not be governed, at all, and their drivers are always moving at well over the posted limit and in an aggressive, intimidating manner. This is not the first time I've had an encounter with a Thompson truck. It seems to be typical behavior for their drivers. If you see them on the highway, steer clear for your own safety. They're worse than Swift ever thought about being! If you're looking to hire them, DON'T! They might kill a whole family while hauling your stuff!
