Do you know how long theve been in the business ?
Have you met the inside staff ? Personally i've never heard of them but thats hardly a reason to overlook the posibilty they've got a good thing going. There's literally 100's of small freight companies and I betcha many of those drivers would never even consider working for one of the "big time" haulers. I'd even suggest you asking for a few names and numbers of other drivers if that would ease the fear of possibly going down the wrong road.
