Do a search at trucknet.com There is a driver there that drives for them and seems to be doing very well.

Sounds like the guy on trucknet is doing pretty good, and got there by doing the norm bs that some companies put you through. I'm not knocking him, seems like a hard worker, but companies shouldn't give good people who want to make a better life for their families such a hard time. As long as he's happy though. He's a flatbed driver, anybody have any information on their van divisions?

Sent an email to one of the recruiters, and was told that they pay $90 a day for training (4-6 weeks). As a trainee, you do all of the driving, the trainer stays in the truck and you (trainee) stay in a motel. According to their website, the loads that they carry are steel (Flatbed Division), automotive (avg. haul 450 mi.) & general commodities (avg. haul 600+ mi.) - both Van Divisions.

This recruiter is out of their Gary, IN terminal, so I don't know if it's like this at all their terminals. I was also told that you can only live a max of a 69 mile radius from their terminal.
