McElroy is a fantastic flatbed company to go work for. We had a recruiter come in and speak with us last week, I too am very impressed with them, they are Christian based and they are a "get you home almost every weekend," company. That's the nice thing about flatbed companies they will do their best to get you home on the weekends.
One thing you might want to know to is that since they are a flatbed company there is more physical involvment in it. Especially if you are tarping them yourself. As far as I have researched they pay .45 cpm for local and for regional .48 cpm.
I'm sure you probably knew that. Their trucks are 2015 Prostar Internationals and I believe all are standards. Wish you the best of blessings towards your career in trucking!
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Hey guys new guy here to the site. I start my CDL training on January 9th and have contacted several companies about employment. I've been overly impressed with McElroy and have already submitted an app to them. What can you guys who are familiar with them tell me about them? Is there an agility test involved? Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
