[jollyvolly107]

anybody work for them? what do you think? what are there lanes for flatbed/ heavy haul? what are the hiring requirements? thanks guys

[Sealord]

Do you mean this ATS? Dry Van, Flatbed, Specialized, Heavy Haul, Pad Wrap, Wind Energy, International Trucking Did you call 'em and ask your questions? BOL

[jollyvolly107]

yah it was that ATS sealord, i was asking about flatbed/specialized/ heavy haul. i would rather ask a few questions of drivers who have been there than get caught on the phone with a recruiter that "gurantees" you the world for an hour. But i aprecitate your candid reply

[Jumbo]

You want to know what their hiring requirements are but you dont want to ask a recruiter?

TerryLamar was doing the Lease?Operator deal with them. He pops in from time to time...maybe he will have something to say.

I think you are doing the right thing, getting in touch with the drivers. It's good to get different opinions from drivers, knowing how they feel about the company. At the same time, you do need to contact the company. Sure, some recruiters may try to swindle you some, but they will tell you where their hiring areas are, and where they run. Most recruiters will tell you what you need to know.

I see more of the heavy haul than flats, but I see a lot of their trucks in north Texas.

hey jack i have every intention to call them, i am just a big nerd about things and try to gather as much information from as many sources as possible before i start making calls. yah i mean no disrespect to any recruiters, i have just been continually bugged before and i am not looking forward to that situation again.

I contacted them a couple years ago, then went with a different company. I got no BS at all from the recruiter and did not get hassled by their recruiters when I told them I was going with someone else.

No worries mate..
That's good. A lot of drivers make the mistake of not getting information on companies.
Yeah, I know how some recruiters can put a lot of icing on the cake. They would make good car salesmen.

I worked for them back in the late 90's. They treated me ok, made a fair living.

I did recommend them to a friend last Jan, and now I regret doing so. This friend lasted 1 or 2 months before being fired over a MINOR accident. He was involved with the lease purchase and was forced to deadhead from NC back to St Cloud.

[jollyvolly107]

so who did you chose to go with JB? were you looking in the flatbed divison? Coastie sorry to hear about your buddy! So does ATS push there lease program hard then? What division of ATS did you work with coastie? also coastie..were you with the coast guard?
