They recently raplaced most of their fleet-average truck age is 11 months. Cpm is kind of low. Talked to a guy who dove for them in TN, who had a load going to CA. Said he would be there in a day to day and a half, so they don't care if you run legal or not. Most posts I have seen on here about them have been bad.

My friend has been with them for a year and all i can say is you can get away with pretty much anything. He idles non stop, does up to 100 miles of careless bobtailing, takes of every weekend if not more. He is on the dry side, but he does get a qualcom message once a day saying about the flatbed side rolling over or leaving loads unatended and they get stolen. With all the problems the flatbed side has im suprised they havent sold them off yet. They also recently bought out SMX who also ran flats and vans.
