| Apples and oranges and plums. TMC and CRST Malone are flatbed, but one is all o/o. Landstar covers a lot of ground (dry vans, flatbeds, drop decks, light specialty trailers, temperature-controlled vans and containers), all owner/operator, or as Landstar says, BCOs (business capacity owners). Central Refrigerated. Reefer, predominately company drivers. I forgot, what are the comparison points? BOL |

Up to 14 votes now. Went with Central Ref because I know the company and the 2 DMs I had were great to work with.
Be Safe!

as far as Willis Shaw I'd stay away from them! their equipment is old and they don't take care of any of their equipment!i know two drivers who worked for them for years and loved them and now they flew that chicken coupe cause of new management!one went to Crete and the other tri-ad running hazmat,

Pretty much like any company that has multiple terminals with shops, WSE has its good ones who will do good work maintaining and fixing the equipment and others who can not seem to install a new pair of wiper blades correctly.
I know a few people who either currently work there or have worked there and the only complaints I have heard from them is about getting stuck at one of those bad company shops. Beyond that they say they were or are being treated fairly well and get plenty of miles. |
