Anyone have any info on this company in IA?

http://www.graytran.com

I talked to a person who said their trucks are junk. He walked away from orientation over it. I want to know if others feel this way?

The owner says he has Volvos 2001-2004 and then 2006 Freightliners. They allow pets, are no touch, and have weekend home time.

Ewww yuk not going with them. I think I will go with Shaffer probably.

Stay away from them. I worked for them for 3 months and in that time I was broke down over a dozen times. I got shut down several times for faulty trailer brakes. There trucks are fair there trailers are nothing but junk. Cloeox in Chicago refused to load 6 trailers because of the condition of them. John Deere in Davenport,IA refused 2 of the trailers. I also ran all summer without air. Darrin will promise you the world,Leroy is a liar and Earl is a dick. STAY AWAY from them!!!!!

Peace I'm out
