Default Greatwide getting into foodgrade tankers?

Does anyone know anything about Greatwide and how they are to work for? They are advertising in New Mexico and Texas for foodgrade tanker company drivers. Anyone know how their pay is for company drivers? I was just wondering if they are as bad as the bottom feeder tanker foodgrade companies from Florida? Thanks! :thumbsup:

Two weeks ago, I talked to an O/O that pulled for them. Said about the same thing as happened to Arrow. Paychecks were a problem. That's why he left.

Thanks Windwalker. I have read that Greatwide has filed bankruptcy and maybe they are trying to crawl out from under it but seems like the foodgrade tankers is something new with them. It doesn't mention it on their web site as of now. I know they bought May Trucking a few years ago and recently purchased YRC's dedicated owner operator divsion. Not sure if that includes Glen Moore Transport also. Maybe they have bitten off too much too soon! Thanks again! :thumbsup:

I was surprised. I see GreatWide trucks on the road all the time. But, problems with paychecks is not good. I think he said he was pulling flatbed for them, and hauling oversize loads.
