Default Greatwide inc

Curious has any one heard of this company? They are posting a job in the job posting section of this board. I live near one of the places they were asking for you to be near. I saw one of their trucks in Florida the other day as well. Equipment looked ok and definately was not governed.

Anyone?

Thanks

Greatwide is an investor group that buys trucking companies as well as commercial property, department stores and other things. I worked for an O/O that was leased to Dallas Mavis which is owned by the group. I went to Greatwide Dallas Mavis orientation and learned enough about them to decide to steer clear of them. They mostly buy out companies make corporate level changes that have the snowball effect in eithier a good way or bad way, they are running dallas mavis into the ground.

Why do so many small companies end up ruining thier drivers careers and why do so many drivers think they'll get treated better at a smaller company?
