Companies That Use Peterbilts And/or Kenworths:

Werner Enterprise, TMC, Jim Palmer, Us Xpress, Keen Transport,
Thats all i can think of for now

 

Star transport

 

CFI and Melton

 

Western Distributing out of Colorado also screws any drivers stupid enough to fall for a big truck and no money. About 27 cpm for 10 years eperience, I believe.

White Farms out of Doniphan Ne also ropes in suckers with big trucks. Close to 25 cpm.

And don't forget our good friends at Hurricane Express. They'll lease you the truck!!

Boy, do I ever see a pattern here....LOL!

 

By the way, if you are choosing a company solely on the brand of truck they drive, you are starting behind the eightball from the beginning. "Exhaustive research" should point out to you that you stand a good chance of getting the image of that big truck stuffed right up your wazoo, and will make little or no money in the process. They didn't buy those trucks because they were the best machines for the job, or because they would return the best fuel mileage. They bought them because they knew there was some dummy out there to whom the hood ornament was so important, he would take less pay so he could stare at the back end of the ornament all day long.

And people that fall for this truck/trick get no sympathy from me because they bring it onto themselves.

 

Which of these outfits has nothing but Pete rigs? Those are the outfits you'd want to go with if you have "gotta-have-it-osis". Companies that have a few Petes sprinkled in their fleets usually use those as carrots to get something from their drivers. They'll play drivers off against each other, as all want to be driving one of the penile extensions. And those driving a phallus must be constantly on guard and kiss tail to no end, lest they be replaced by a better kisser. I guess I don't have to say "avoid them", right?

 

Funny, as long as it passes inspection I will drive what they give me, I have never complained about a tractor, but then again I was started at 47 cpm and got a handsome increase after 90 days with no incidents, which I just hit this week, and any how they did put me in a brand new truck with a 460, it is just not a cool one with a heli pad under the windshield. I have full benies and 2 retirement plans, yes they put in to both. But then again i do have a family to support and a mortage, I actually keep the thing spotless (yep polish the wheels too)... But to make less money to drive a cool truck is just not even close to being optional in my book,

 

I agree with ya doma if it passes inspection who cares what brand it is. As long as it gets me there safely i really don't care what i drive.
