Was just wondering, if I could get some info from current and ex-drivers on this outfit. Looking for a company, thinking about Diamond or Express !.. any comments good or bad are welcome

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS OF MUCH HELP BUT HERE GOES ANYWAY!

WE (THE WIFE AND I) WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE ORIENTATION AT EXPRESS-1 AND I MUST ADMIT THAT THEY'RE A REAL NICE BUNCH OF FOLKS, PROBLEM WAS NO DEAD HEAD PAY AT ALL AND THE COST OF THE QUALCOM WAS A BIT MUCH, SO WHEN THEY SAID FOR US TO PULL OUR TRUCK IN THE SHOP (NICE SHOP) TO HAVE THE STICKERS AND QUALCOM INSTALLED WE ASKED FOR SOME TIME AND DECIDED TO STAY WITH WHO WE'RE LEASED TOO NOW.

LATER WE REMEMBERED ONE OF THE NEW RECRUITS AT EXPRESS-1 TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WORK DIAMOND WANTED HIM TO DO SO WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THAT WAS FOR US! AFTER TALKING TO DIAMOND AND FINDING OUT HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE WAS REQUIRED (THINKING IT WAS 3YRS. DUE TO THIER INS.CARRIERS REQUIREMENT) ONCE AGAIN WE DECIDED TO STAY WHERE WE'RE AT!

THE ONLY REASON WE WERE CHECKING OUT OTHER CARRIERS WAS BECAUSE OURS UPSET US A TIME OR TWO, BUT AFTER REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT OTHER DRIVERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIER CARRIERS WE REALIZED THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE SAME!

I HOPE THIS WAS OF SOME HELP!

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE :)

Just wondering, because i have an 4yr old truck, companies want to sign me, but want me to get new truck within 2yrs, this still has plenty of life in it.
