| I'm seriously looking at Forward Air but haven't run into any drivers that are with them. Does anyone have anything to say about working for Forward Air? |

I talked to a driver a funky loading dock at a mall. The store actually has the truck come to the front of the mall, not a loading dock in the back...weird. Anyways...
He was a company driver and said he does 3500mi/week. I asked him how and he said it was all drop and hook . Seemed happy. I've seen a few o/o trucks with big sleepers. |

Last I checked (and admitedly it's been a while) they were paying a whole whopping $.90 cpm. And the o/o were running their a$$es off.
Not my cup of tea. |

I signed on and have been running with them about a week. Its going great....the company seems reasonable, and although I pick up all loads at night, it is drop and hook and off I go...no waiting around for shipper to load etc. I drop load at another terminal, go to sleep, wake up and hook up to another load and go.
A week isn't much time to assess a company, but after being with the companies I was previously signed on with, Forward Air looks like a winner.
Thanks for the input guys. |
