Veteran Team Needing Company Suggestions
Topic 34853 | Page 1
My wife and I almost went into expediting. This fleet owner takes good care of their drivers. They require committed teams. They run for both FedEx Custom Critical and Panther Premium. Class B license though they do have a few tractor trailer rigs.
Why I didn't go? My current company made me a better offer.
I drove for Hummer for the last year. They're a great company to drive for if you want the miles and no nonsense trucking. They pay well, have very accurate scheduling and dispatching. No cameras of any sorts in the trucks, no pay gimmicks.
As long as you have good work history, clean records, they will take you. If you're a driver that keeps the left door closed, communicates well and can run with little or no supervision, you're a good fit there. If I was still company driving and in their hiring area, I'd go back there. Great company.

My husband and I have been driving team for 3 years. Our current company is on the lower pay side and is now installing driver facing cameras. We drove home delivery for FedEx for 10 years before we started otr and don't want to deal with them again. So, we are looking for a company hiring out of Wisconsin that runs dry vans/reefers. We run hard and look for at least 6,000 miles per week, more if we can get them. We are currently looking at Don Hummer, anyone else have any suggestions? We have clean mvr's and like to stay out for 4-5 weeks at a time.
