I've been with'em 2 yrs + solo now, but I roll out of the Texas terminal in Ennis. The Texas division operates a little differently, has to - different markets, traffic, etc. I don't know enough about those of us that run east of I-49 and up into New York..
I'm very happy with'em, but much of that is based on my background and attitude. What I'm learning about 'average drivers' is that few of them are happy, wherever they are, whomever they drive for, and the more companies they've driven for - the unhappier they seem to be.... Look for the facts on a Company, but talk to as many actual drivers as you can find and see if you can discern anything valuable from it.

Yo HappyHookin: Where do you go to get the Safety Rating data you posted? I used to have a 'government site' but it got ripped out... The data you posted is of great interest to me - we haven't had that kind of news down here in the trenches! Thanks
