Default Have you tried.......

R & L Carriers is a rapidly growing LTL company, have you tried them? They pay union scale and have good benefits. Extremely financially stable, family owned....just a thought. I work for them now in management.

Well, which is it? In another poll you stated that you were looking to buy a KW T2000.

"I am looking at buying a Kenworth T2000 but I was just wondering what do other drivers prefer and why?"

At R&L you must have at least 2 years experience or they will not talk to you. Thats what they told me anyway.

I voted FedEx Freight.

My 2nd choice is ABF.

Nothing but great reviews from drivers I spoke to from both outfits.

I dont know anything about the ones listed, but id stay clear of Old Dominion. They have a bad rep for putting false reports on their drivers who quit them records. But I think with the new F.M.C.S.R rules on false reporting some of these trucking companies may have a wake up call. Perhaps if drivers finally take the time to challenge them we can make a difference. It would only take a few times of companies getting audited and fined several thousand dollars to realize trying to screw over their ex drivers just isnt profitable.
