Arnold shouldn't be a first choice
Arnold was an OK company before things slowed down but they were only OK because of the pay. Now USX owns about 90% and it has been getting worse. I would look at other companies before coming over here. I'll be leaving shortly because there are to many issues that need to be fixed to make them decent again.

i wouldnt wish my enemy onto this company. i drove for them as a lease purchase driver. it was impossible for them to find loads, the loads they did find, only made the truck .50-.75 per mile. i would not accept any load paying less than $1.00 a mile (after their 25% cut) my dispatcher knew this and took care of me. however, her "boss" found out about it and ordered her not to tell me how much it payed before i accepted the load (no force dispatch). i pulled a load from daytona, fl, to knoxville, tn for .44 a mile because of that. pissed as i was i asked am i a company driver or an o/o? if i am going to get paid like a company driver, then i would bring the truck back and get in a company truck. i sat for 2 weeks, waiting on a load for that. the truck got stolen, a police report to prove it, yet i was charged with thuck abandonment, AND close to $5000 in chargebacks, ranging from impound fees, towing fees, to securement equiptment, truck sale prep and a long list of other rediculous items. therefore, i would stay a company driver, save your money (150 - 200 a week) and buy you a truck outright from a dealer.
When you get hosed...It is your responsibility to take care of yourself..not to sit on your hands and cry. These companies depend on Lease Operators being "Mice" not "Men".
