    I've been here for 18 years, and have no plans to leave. All trucks are Freightliners, owner also has a dealership so we have Freightliner mechanics doing all the work on the trucks usually when I'm at home and so much pre maintenance trucks rarely break down. You can easily get 3k miles a week, 70 cpm, if you're willing to work. Dispatch is very respectful to drivers who are willing to work.

    There is no transparency too many lies management is all over the place very disorganized they say they have plenty dedicated work going to Micheal lewis airport that's a lie it's only assigned to the guys that's been there they advertise pay being .65 cents a miles it's really .55 a mile per diem is supposed to be $65.00 a day but it's only .13 cents of the miles you run they are not full transparent on pay and when pay goes in and you will be running a lot of OTR spot market freight and they don't have digital pay stubs the pay stubs come in by mail and they supposed to mail a months worth of paystubs they only mailed one week don't just walk away run from them..

    I driver for this company now one thing I can say I drove for a lot of company and this is the one and only come that I found that do what they said. You want miles they have them, you are pre-plan so prefect as soon as you hit arrive at a delivery your next pickup comes through, sometimes you might have to wait 5 minutes it's not hours like some companies. The only reason I would leave this company is if I was tired of the road, I love it here you definitely make your money and home time like clockwork. The equipment is always on point even if you didn't put a work order in they still make sure the truck is prefect for those DOT inspection, I definitely don't have no complaints when I needed to be home no problem, office staff treated you with respect they know your name when you call are come in all you have to do is communicate.
