I've heard of them but couldn't tell you as much about them as the people working there can.

Have you tried the searching previous posts over the last few years those carriers have been mentioned.

Using this method helped me narrow down my list of prospective carriers.

If you have buds that you trust I think that they would give you a more complete answer.
Like is good.

I enjoyed working with TranStewart. The president and vp is a father son/team. Jerry and Jerry Jr. I haven't had as much contact with Jr. as I have with Sr. and his wife Mrs.Sara. They are honest people. They started off runing straight trucks solo hauling auto parts to the east coast. So they know what it's like to be on the road. They do alot of NLM freight and they are some kind of top level carrier with them. There are alot of Texas runs, or at least there was when I was there. I went to Laredo alot and got out the same day or next day going back to Chicago or Detroit. It's a good place to be if you want to work. If you want to lounge around half the time waiting on a run and not run hard and steady it's most likely not for you.

Yea, I was pretty impressed with them too. Just wish I could find an owner operator with them or someone smart enough to sign on with them!

So what are you doing now? \
I thought you had already signed on with a carrier when you left the Cat?
Did something change?
Are you working or shopping?

I had my truck with them for a short time that was too long. I have been taught that if you can't say something good about someone then say nothing. I have nothing to say. Runningturttle:
