Hello my husband and I are new to this world and are very excited to get started. I would first like to know if “Try Hours” is a good company to work with and if not what would be a good company? We are waiting for a available truck with them. They are a 60/40 we pay for fuel. Your input in appreciated!

I also started expediting with TH. Ran for about 6 months with them for an owner .Owner decided to pull her van, which ended time with them .They were ok back then.
I ended up buying a van a couple years later and they were my first sign on company . Was with them for two months, grossed maybe 4K a month in a sprinter. Once costs, insurance, fuel, food, and my van payment.....I actually lost money running with them . Not to mention a couple of other issues I won't get into due to taking the high road.
It's been a couple years since then.....but I certainly don't have any desire to "try" them again .
But by all means give it a shot . They might have gotten better . I can say I'm out for a month at a time all over the Midwest, soith, and east......I just saw one of their vans for the first time in a long time .

Spoke with a Try Hours Sprinter driver today. Your roving reporter got a exclusive interview 
Stated he was doing good, and they were keeping him busy. With a added statement of "at least I Am".
So pretty vague info. What is considered good and busy, maybe considered slow and terrible by someone else depending on a individuals situation. So take it for what it's worth.
But it was a positive comment anyways, so I thought I would share it

The real question should be ---- are you making any money?
He could be busy, but not making money.
And even beyond that ... How much gross, net?
So many in expedited are working poor. Paying bills and just barely enough to get by.
Just ask WOM ... lol
Yeah, other then what's going into his "the drivers" pocket. His owner may have a completely different take on the situation
