PAM reviews out there. Is it that bad?

Yes PAM uses ezpass/prepass. Their CSA score is super low so save time getting green lighted. Great support system...nonl issues with fuel cards, advances...etc. Use my phone to scan bills with transflo app. But yes....barely making ends meet. Operations needs some good leadership. A lot of 'left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". Remember, they're a training company. I did not go through their school so I don't have a contract with them, nor did I have to team up for 6 months. Good company for new drivers. Suckin it up to get the otr exp. Everyone has to pay their dues. Just don't plan on making a lot. Just now getting 1200-1300 mi. loads. They now know I keep the door shut and roll. For u vets...you get 918.00/mo or so va bennies...deceases after 6 months but helps. Remember y'all...grass is always greener....and there are only two 100% awesome jobs....the one you're leaving and the one you're going to. Later!

McElroy Truck Lines

Hey y'all!! Read all pages of this and enjoyed it. I'm rounding the three month mark with "A" company and really looking at MTL. I've known my calling is flatbed and not van. I like the small company atmosphere as well. I live near Florence, SC and was hoping someone of y'all that drive for em can tell me a few things.. 1. What would my training be like since I have otr exp. But no flatbed? 2. What the dedicated and/or reg. Map look like for the SE? I wish their site was more informative but TT will always come through. Thanks again and in advance. Be safe out there!
