Central Oregon Truck Company

[stomper4x4]

Does anyone have any experience with Central Oregon Truck Company? They are a flatbed outfit out of Oregon.

I'm returing to driving after being off the road for a number of years. I'm looking at this company for a few reasons.

1) I live a half a day drive away from their main office.

2) I live right on 1-5, and they run mostly west regional, so they "say" they can get me home most weekends.

3) Their pay/bennie package looks pretty decent, without all the "if this, if that" of some of the larger companies.

4) I pulled dry vans and reefers in the past, and I never want to see another grocery warehouse! So I want to make the leap to flatbedding.

More reasons, but I'll spare you

SO any news on this company?

Thanks all!

I dont drive for them and never have but they come into one of our warehouses we have and pick up from us. I have talked to several drivers when iam at one of our warehouses picking up product for our own trucks.

I also looked into them and sounds like they are a decent company. I emailed them and they emailed me back that they had done all their hiring for this year.

Rokk was driving for them. Check out his past blog the location is under his name. I believe he put his reason for quiting them on there!

When did you email them? I emailed them, Patty emailed me back with details and then I spoke with her on the phone. Just last week she emailed me an application and I faxed it back the next day. So I'm just waiting to hear back.

PM Rokk if you want details. He's good about getting back to ya.

He had positives and negatives to say. Basicaly the negitives were that they have a tendancy to give you lots of miles, encouraging you to be creative with your logbook. The other was that they make you chain up in bad weather, they don't believe in stopping often. But what else is new.

On the other hand, he said you get plenty of miles, the pay is good, and overall it was a positive experience. A good little trucking company he called it.
