Not saying that at all. Its all drop and hook and while I was there we only had one overnight layover ever, usually you show up at a terminal and are out of there within a hour. Its smooth running there. Want set fuel prices, there ya go. Miles for solo and teams are not super duper, but everyone I know who is leased on with them is working and making their truck payments and a reasonable living. They give you saftey bonus, yearly pay increases, maintance discounts, ect. My buddy runs 3 trucks with them, one is on a dedicated team run, one is running a dedicated morning run and also running as a local truck in the evenings and one is a floater (OTR) team truck. He's been there since the days of RPS and is happy running for them.
Downside - hard as heck to get drivers to work for you due to driver qualification standards and long waiting periods for applications to be approved (up to 2 mos, at least its that way at the Sacramento hub).
Best bet is to check em out for yourself in person (as with any company), and talk with other O/O's that are signed on at the hub you will be working out of. This will give you a clear picture if ground is right for you.
