I am a recent CDL grad from AIT schools in Las Vegas. I have done a lot of research on most of the top carriers out there and cant seem to find any good reviews about the mega companies running the highways today. I have been looking into System Transport and I think I have made my decision about where to start my career. Can anyone give me some insight on this company? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
System Transport, Good or bad company?

I have heard good things about the company but I havent worked for them
I believe chinatown can tell you much more if they show up here.SinSityCowboy Thanks this. -
I checked them out, they seem pretty good. Most drivers there seem pretty happy. They are sticklers for a clean driving record. Trucks are well maintained and such. Reefer drivers (TWT) are very busy in the 2800-3200 miles per week range.
Understand that this is 3 companies owned by one parent. TWT is reefers (west coast), Systems is flatbeds (lower 48) and I forgot the 3rd company but I think it's lower 48 dry van.SinSityCowboy Thanks this. -
Thanks Wolfyinc...

2800-3200 miles a week sounds right up my alley. I want good miles from whichever carrier I chose to go with and those numbers don't sound too bad to me. I want to run flatbed though... I don't know how many miles their drivers stack up but it just seems a little more exciting to me rather than pulling around a van trailer all the time.

your normally can make more with flatbed since you get tarp pay and stuff too
SinSityCowboy Thanks this. -
and if they haul anything like the last 2 companies i worked for. it's usually the cheap crap that don't wanna pay to be hauled but yet it gets tarped. -
I begin orientation next Monday July 29th, will start out driving teams for TWT (refrig).
I just graduated cdl school (Oregon)
and I am so happy they are giving this rookie a shot
I was dreading having to start with a company that was not so favorably reviewed on this forum
Made alot of calls and did even more research.
Just got invite today, very very happySinSityCowboy Thanks this. -
I haven't seen any negative reviews on System Transport. Their trucks do have APU's.
Palazon mentioned there are 3 companies under the trans-system umbrella & he is correct; refrigerated/tanker/flatbed.SinSityCowboy Thanks this. -
I would say that System is one of the "better" training companies. I don't know if there's such thing as a "good" trucking company, though.
