Are there are any current or former drivers who are acquainted with this company?

Any comments or info will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

 

Never heard of them.

Personally, I am left to wonder why they want to restrict their market to hauling Black Horses; do Black Horses bring more revenue than hauling white of brown horses??

This sounds like Reverse Discrimination to me!!

 

Yeah, Useless, black horses bring more money, and most wranglers like them better. Especially, for breeding. :P :lol: ops:

 

The words "horses, money, wranglers and breeding" in close proximity doesn't sound like a good thing. ops: BOL

 

No it doesnt, Sealord. :P :lol:

 

I know they require 3 years OTR and have all dedicated freight if that helps .

 

Does that mean the black horses are "dedicated" to breeding?

 

doesn't Death (Grim Reaper) ride on a Black horse????

 

I drove for Black Horse Carriers from February until July of this year. They aren't a bad company, but you will likely put in A LOT of hours. I drove on the PCA account and usually bumped my 70 each week. The Aldi drivers (grocery account) put in just as many hours, but they ran night shift. I believe Aldi is their bread and butter at each of their terminals. I never had a problem with pay as they were very accurate, and I was treated fairly well while I was with them.

I left for 2 reasons. One was that I was offered a position one mile from the house as opposed to the 41 miles I was commuting to Black Horse. The other was because they are a slip-seat company and I like to have my own assigned truck that I can set up to my comfort (CB, tools, etc)

For the most part the equipment is good and well maintained. They run strictly Feightliner Columbias leased from Ryder so they aren't old. Most of the trucks on our fleet were 2007's with the Freightliner automatic Smart Shift. When I left they were updating the PCA fleet with BRAND NEW air-ride trailers which were nice.

All in all a decent company and I would still be there if I lived closer and they didn't slip-seat.

What's the PCA account ? And how many miles did you run weekly ? Did you get paid by the mile or trip ? Thanks
