Looking to get back in the truck after two years.
What do you know about them?
They have trucks in Reading, PA.

I know furniture is heavy. :lol:
Sorry, don't know anything about their trucks but I have a lot of their furniture in my house. Good stuff for the price but it is all made in china.

If you talking about the one on AMES way off of RT. 61, then it is actually LEESPORT. Talked to several of thier drivers when I use to run out that way weekly, they never had a bad thing to say about thier jobs. They all seemed happy.

Thanks Double R, that's what I was hoping to hear.
Planning to stop in this weekend cuz they're advertizing.

I meant each individual piece you have to unload, not the trucks weight. :wink:

Their trucks look clean and well taken care of whenever I see them.

Double R is correct, It's about 25 miles S of my house. They just expanded their assembly lines, so I'm sure they'll be looking to add on drivers. I see their trucks alll the time around here, both day cabs and sleeper units, so I'm guessing they have OTR and local dedicated stuff available...

They deliver to the furniture store my parents own. A very good company to drive for. All of their drivers seem happy there and their benefits are pretty good. Expect to be home most weekends but they won't guarentte it. I'm pretty sure that all they ship out of Reading is the casegoods, such as dresser, chests, beds, etc. I don't think that they do any of the upholstered furniture in the Reading plant. The upholstery is easier to unload but you will have more stops on your route with the upholstery. With the wooden furniture loads expect to make 8-9 stops on each trip out.
