I would also like to find out some things about this Co. from some ppl with first hand experience, as I have been approved by them and plan to go to orientation on 2/4/08.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

wepwawet,
Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to wonder if anybody would. I figured TA must be a pretty good Co. or that nobody on here ever worked for them because if they had and didn't like them then they would be quick to bash them. Another question: do they have paper or electronic logs?

I looking for feedback on Transport America too,
I saw an add quote for .44 cent per mile for solo drivers? Need to call them I guess. Other Important questions: haz-mat required? inverters allowed in trucks? cabinet doors or nets? forced dispatch or load select? assigned driver manager/dispatcher or zone dispatch? 48states irregular route or specific freight lanes? can they get me home?

Seems like I get a letter from them every week. Right up there with MasterCard and Visa.

I just went to their web site...found 'somewhat' of an answer for a couple of those questions which elude me. 10+years = .44** **= for exceptional work history the ** needs more clear cut defining. there's a place on the downloadable application where you enter 'Yes' or 'No' under haz-mat endorcement. So, Maybe required...maybe ..not? looks like east of I-35 freight lanes--and mostly north of mason-dixie line all the other questions still are open begging for answers. |
