    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I was wondering if anybody has any recent information on this company. I have an interview tomorrow morning and have found very little information about this company. The hiring manager sent me some decent information this morning. Equipment is all late model Volvo automatics, some day cab some sleepers. The pay will never be less than $210/day, home nightly and off weekends. Full benefits package and very cheap but very good benefits.

    Was wondering if any of you guys or girls could chime in with any information or experience you have with this company. I will be a "switch board" driver to start. Filling in for vacation and sick day routes. Again, any and all information is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I'll be honest with you. My interview is in the morning, I have no clue what it is we will be hauling as I can't find much information about it so far. I'll let you know tomorrow as it becomes a little more clear. I'll be pulling doubles for sure but hazmat isn't required, don't know if that tells you anything.

    Yep, they run alot of doubles. If that's what they're doing its an excellent gig. Get your foot in the door. Know how to maneuver your truck in tight spaces, blind side and don't be afraid to work. If you got that it's great money and they are good to their drivers.

    It's all based on location... Multiple locations in DFW, ranging from tire delivery to Legos(spelling for the toy?).
    It's normally a dock/driver combo, unless you're at a location that has enough freight to keep you busy.
    Report back when you can OP.

    On a side note, they don't pay very well where I'm at. It's decent with a great work/life balance, but it's not a 50k a year job.
     
    AtticusRoad Thanks this.

    Eh... If it's not tires then I have no idea what the pay is. Tires are better than 50k. That's the extent of my knowledge tho.

    EDIT: also want to add my knowledge is specific to Indiana and grand prarie

    Thanks for the information. They say the starting pay is from $54-60K/ year and that starting you'll make no less than 54K/year working Monday through Friday, I'll never complain about that. I'll report back as soon as I know more.
