I worked for them.
Made .35cpm, $10 to load, $10 to unload, extra $10 for a pump off and wait time you got $12 per hour. Our terminal was very small and had no supervision so they didn't pay us hourly. It's not a bad company but not one of the better paying ones. What I didn't like about them was they don't dispatch on seniority. If the dispatcher liked you, you got the good money runs. I don't know what the benefits are like? My wife has great insurance so I declined theirs. The work wasn't very consistant, one week you might bring home $1000 and another you might bring home $400. New guys usually get crappy shifts. I worked 3am-3pm Thursday-Monday. We had 10 drivers and the #1 driver had Saturday and Sunday off, everyone else worked weekends. |

OK Thanks for the info..Just kinda looking for an out,just in case.Just
heard the news on Jevic yesterday.I'm with the TL division of Big Brown.
We only have 800 tractors and I believe it's getting harder to compete
with the JB's,Swift and Schneiders.Things are OK for now,I imagine. |
