Heard of this Co??
Been driving for a couple of years. Driver from RJR Transportation approached me today and said he is getting 2000 miles a week and keeping busy. Need to know if these guys are for real!!

Re: Heard of this Co??
Check their rates and FSC and you will have your answer.
Think I would review several carriers prior to a commitment.

Also find out what type of loads they do, if it is mostly NLM loads the FSC is cheap.

Re: Heard of this Co??
YES, I have heard of this company and I talk with a driver who has driven with them for years now. They are not looking to hire on solos. They do not look for any loads under 500 miles. They look for long hauls for teams. You will stay busy with them as far as miles. but as far as fsc and mileage.. I am not sure they offer the same as other companys.

Cpm and fsc, gets low when it's put on the gpsnet board but not as low coming off the nlmi board, after its been handed down couple times then driver gets lower rates. But it takes months to complete the ISO progran to do the NLMI board.
