    you will not make the money that they claim you can make when you start. I was told they wood chip driver would make between 150 and 160 a day. you will be lucky to make 10 dollars an hour. they work you 60 to 70 hours a week, and you'll be lucky to take home 400. they are way below industry standards when it comes to drivers pay. if you are not on the favorite list, you will be stuck with loads. decent equipment, nice people, just don't waste your time.

    Which is it, $400 or $450? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Additionally, did you try any of the other divisions before venting your frustrations? Divisions like the flatbeds, oversize, containers, or dry van? I'm asking because I don't know if you can switch divisions at the drop of a hat, or if there is a waiting list you have to get on, or if the division you are on is dependent on where you live.

    .....research ,research ,research is so very import ,these days especially because lyin,cheating ,stealing has become accepted and useful to those who are comfortable with holding hands with the devil and peacefully on their way to hell .....i always look for things like what kind of cars are parked into the employee parking lot ,is there a perm " help wanted " sign out front ,advertising too much ,they are always super friendly at first ,that is until they have another warm body in their equipment ....yeah it really sucks to find out the truth after you have already invested time and efforts,you have to quit and put another mark on your work history record .....i work at a company ,that has grown up into a Frankenstein monster ....someday ill let you guys & gals know how they operate
    until then I'll hold my nose & drive .....and keep researching other avenues
