yah it was that ATS sealord, i was asking about flatbed/specialized/ heavy haul. i would rather ask a few questions of drivers who have been there than get caught on the phone with a recruiter that "gurantees" you the world for an hour. But i aprecitate your candid reply

You want to know what their hiring requirements are but you dont want to ask a recruiter?

I think you are doing the right thing, getting in touch with the drivers. It's good to get different opinions from drivers, knowing how they feel about the company. At the same time, you do need to contact the company. Sure, some recruiters may try to swindle you some, but they will tell you where their hiring areas are, and where they run. Most recruiters will tell you what you need to know.
I see more of the heavy haul than flats, but I see a lot of their trucks in north Texas.

I contacted them a couple years ago, then went with a different company. I got no BS at all from the recruiter and did not get hassled by their recruiters when I told them I was going with someone else.

No worries mate..
That's good. A lot of drivers make the mistake of not getting information on companies.
Yeah, I know how some recruiters can put a lot of icing on the cake. They would make good car salesmen.
