I've worked here for a little over 5 years and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. I left for 45 days about 3 years ago and learned that this job far exceeds the others. The pay is comparable to most others and somewhat higher than some. We do basically the same runs every week and are out 5 or 6 days. This suits my needs as I like to be home every week. The equipment at this time is older but they are getting new trucks in later in the year. Personally, I like my 10 speed. The office staff are wonderful people and if you have a need of any kind they will go out of their way to help.
