“I've been a driver for almost 9 years local and OTR and I've gotta say this is by a long shot one of if not the best trucking company's I've ever worked for. They pay the most every week. The equipment I'm using was brand new and clean. The work is the easiest I've ever had too. They're an honest trucking company if you want to make lots of money over the road this is the place you want to be.
