thoughts on Nations Express

I'm testing the waters here and wondered if anyone had anything (good or bad) to tell me about Nations Express.
I'm tired of the crap i have to deal with where i am leased now.
I have been in the business for 11 years.The first 10 with a small regional company close to home(good steady work,but not much money) The last year with one of the BIG players.
I have to say that going from a small family owned and operated company to one of the big dogs is a total culture shock to me. I can't tolerate the B.S. and all the lying.

I have heard some good and no bad so far about nations express.Anyone willing to talk,please give me your input.(you may respond in private and it will be kept confidential.
Thank You,
TRUCKRNNR

Got several friends with Nations, they will never lie if they keep their mouth shut, One of the dispatchers favorite sayings when they complain of low rates, is "Go with panther they bid the runs an .50 CPM". We all know that is bull but have talked to other Nations drivers at truck stops and they to told me that.They have a contact u sigh where your pay is 63-67 % of the load plus FSC, but if you ask for proof , well good luck . You get transferred to a line never answers. Even though the Feds regulations says you can demand this up to three years, I'm awaiting till one on my friends decide to go that route. Then when they have to get an attorney well Can you say Class Action. One of my friends also belong to OODIA and on their web site they have this info how to proceed. Of course anyone can find it. Couple dispatchers at Nations even told my friends it was not any of business of the drivers what Nations Charge. I told my friends they are plain stupid to stay with them. Of course they told me that they are fed up but Nations is like the others. Glad I got my own authority and do not have to put up with some companies.

for who need to know nations does not pay the owners what they earn if you get a truck and think they will take out the payments from you money and send it in ...... well the repo man will be looking for you in a short time when you call anyone and try to get answers they wont talk to you then things will get worse from there and if you get a lawer on them he/she will never get a call back or letters will go unanswered

I don't know Daylight from Dark about "Nations Express" but I do know if I hired an Attorney and he/she said this Company will not return my calls I cannot help you, I would want my money back and find a Competent Attorney who would get an answer.

Re: thoughts on Nations Express

WOW, I'm curious now... and have to ask...

What about being a driver for an O/O at Nations???

I've thought about goin' to drive for them, in either an 18 wheeler or a straight truck for an Owner Operator that pays the fuel- very hard to find an owner now that pays the fuel.

I don't want nuthin' to do with the fuel issues of today, not with a mortgage and son now to look out for.
