The $1000 vacation pay is real. But after my calculations its just the money you loose compared to other companys like Shaffer when you look at the C.P.M difference. I worked for Celadon a Year and its true, you will sit for 2 or 3 days in Laredo on a regular basis. Hey HEADBORG.....DONT do it. You WONT make up your paycut with their miles because they DONT HAVE them.
I quit because of the same phrase I have seen here now a few times, NO FREIGHT. But when I drove for them I had the best Freightliner I ever drove since I drive truck in the US. But I think they replace them now with cheap internationals. My advice to anybody concidering Celadon...STAY AWAY. Steve Russell is the LEADER in replacing US drivers with cheap Mexican drivers. And when he gets his way, we work for the few cents THEY will work for or we are out of a job.
