Has anybody heard of this company. The print ad is very similar to New Century but website is under construction.

All i can say is, if you have a yr experience and they will take you, then TAKE THE GIG AND RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK.

i just got turned down by them last week.

I have clean MVR. In fact, my driving record is so clean, you could eat off of it. That's how clean it is.

I have a good DAC.

No accidents.

The reason why they turned me down is they said i had too many jobs in a short period. That was the only reason.

So, this should tell you how good a company they are.

As i said, you need to look real hard at this company (along with New century). And, if you qualify, you need to take it.

New century just bought out W.F. last december or something, so they're basically the same company.

I'm just starting on as a mechanic with WF this week. The equipment looks good, pretty much all Cat powered auto-shift Kenworths.

Isn't New Century owned by the same guy who started and ran Jevic for years? By the way, he's not the reason Jevic went under, it's the people he sold out to.

I worked with several guys who worked at Jevic right before they closed. They loved it. Said they worked hard, but made good money doing it. I don't think I've heard too many negative comments about Jevic.

Let me know what you find out. I've been thinking of applying to NC myself, but haven't done much research on them yet. Been busy with the family when I'm home.
