    Out of Chicago and advertising on Craigslist, stay away.

    Not even sure how they are even in business http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.as...8&original_query_string=UNLIMITED FREIGHT INC That's pretty bad right there.

    I run from Dallas to San Jose Ca and back and in the winter all of those deplorable euro trash companies out of Chicago drop down to I-40 to avoid the weather on I-80. Trash trucks, trash drivers just not a good segment of the industry altogether.

    Looks like they had newer equipment judging by the few I've seen.

    There were 10 or so companies named unlimited but the one out of Illinois doesnt look good. Could have been this one or not. DD, go drive for them and let us know how it works out. Looks like they are inspected more often than a company 30 x's their size so I guess you don't have to waste time pre-tripping your equipment since the DOT will do it for you.

    Probably why they had a bad safety rating in the first place huh? After all they are largely O/Os so if these drivers aren't doing their job by keeping their own trucks legal or crashing their trucks etc., it's a strike against UF.
    Yeah, I just leased on in case you're wondering. Great paying freight from very reputable accounts As safety conscious as any other company and yeah, I actually pretrip my own Pete everyday and fix any problems it might have and I don't crash my own ride.
    UF has some of the biggest accounts I've seen any one company have and they wouldn't have them if half of this BS were the case. If you want a good paying gig for your truck, give them a call. Ask for Victor.

    Don't want to be spammed.

    P.S. Don't bother responding to my post. I seldom come here and likely won't see it for some time. Too busy making $$$$ to gossip! Sorry!

    Guys, the latest report is a 180 degree turn around. They hired a new safety director a year or so ago and I don't think they would have the accounts they do if they weren't doing something right. I've seen some pretty serious crashes lately from some big name carriers. Hazmat rollovers. Fatalities. Does that make the company as a whole bad forever? I've been pulling for these guys a couple weeks now and all I'm saying is so far I see a different company now. If they were still so bad I would think one of the 20 weigh stations I've been in the past 2 weeks would have taken a look at me given the DOT crackdown week.
