They have nice equipment. Very nice. Best looking company trucks I've ever seen. They dont pay very good. I think, low 30s cpm.

I've talked to a couple of their drivers, and they seemed happy. They said that they like working there.

They are a reefer company. Kinda give ya an idea of who their customers are.

They have a great web site, but $.30 to start, ouch! But they say if
you are driving great company equiptment you're not going to make
much per mile to start.

But if you like big cats, big trannys, and lots of shine go for it.

Frieght out west is too cheap from what my boss tells me.
Thats why the compnay I work for dont run it.

Maybe thats why they dont pay alot per mile...the bottom line simply
wont allow it.

Just a wild guess

When I checked out their safestat score it was at 88, but they seem to have a big problem with speeding, especially in WY. Log book problems were also listed. :sad:

Default Western

These guys run HARD,thats why the low score. Also they really should pay better for what they haul ,do alot of hauling for coors beer and U.S. mints hauling money around . Ithink thats all team work . Trucks are build alittle different . Bulletproof glass special tracking and alarms and such.
