    I just finished my 5th week with Nicholas, Im verry happy with them.
    Im not sure if I mentioned this but I'm only their part time Driver, my choice ,because i'm on social security and can only make $ 14,000.00 a year or I will loose $1.00 for every $2.00 I make over that.
    If you are interested in driving for them, I think you will be happy with them.

    From what I've heard new f/t drivers are on call 24/7 until they get on
    a bid for a dedicated run so the hours can be pretty funky for awhile.
    They also go into Manhattan and downtown Philly a lot.

    I know that their looking for bids now on a few runs.
    As far as going to Philly and Queens. I have had those runs and I didn't find them that bad.
    Besides that , try finding a driving job paying $19.00 hr and an extra $4.41 Hr for your 401K around here. I'm just saying.

    I forgot to say that you are not reely not oncall waiting for a run. You will know what your schedule is in advance. They may ask you if you can fill in for someone if they need to fill a spot , but you dont have to take it.You still have my # if you want to ask right?

    What if you don't wanna use the extra $4.41 per hour for a 401k??
    Do they still give it to you anyway??
