Does anyone have any input

Navajo.

I did drive for them nearly 6 months. I caught my self Job hopping so I wanted to stay at one place, so I was forcing myself to make Navajo work out for me.

They were Low paying. When I drove for them they only paid 24 cents amile and did not run you many miles. They have a hard time to get people to come and work for them. There was suppose to been 30 in my Orientation, but only 2 of us showed up.

Did I have problems with them? Yes. They did play Doctor. They directed me to come off some Prescribed medications and Drive the Truck. They are Not Doctors, and I was sick cause I over did my self trying to get enough miles to live on. So yes I was fired cause I refused to drive under the influnce of Medication.

You will haul alot of Coors Beer, Beef, and Kodak Film.

They do maintain their equipment.

Me neither. Yeah, I looked them up. Navajo is who I thought they were. I have seen them as long as I can remember.

Someone told me once, that the picture of the girl on the trucks is the owner's daughter, or something.

WOW what a ripoff, man! I can't believe anyone would even CONSIDER pulling for those wages!! But then again, this is trucking we're talking about. :roll:

I actually ran into one of their drivers at a service plaza on the "Pike" last week. He was having problems with his truck. I guess he had been there for awhile. He wasn't too happy. He bitched for awhile and I wished him luck. He asked if we were union and then siad he wished he worked for a union company. I doubt you would want to work for a place like that.

I think the female on the side of the truck is just supposed to be a Navajo girl. At least thats the way I took it.
