Love to tarp?






Are you a flatbed driver? Tired of driving a dry box, reefer or tanker? These three flatbed carriers are looking for drivers. Cypress, Arrow and Boyd. I have had "experiences" with all of them. I worked for a short time for one. I know drivers who have worked for them. Some of them still do. I know their customers, terminals, management and equipment. The bottom line here is that I personally would have nothing to do with any of them. Topping my list of worst companies to work for would have to be Cypress. The other two are not much better. I would steer clear of all three. And their advertisements on Sirius and XM are b.s. - don't believe what they claim. Want to make a little extra cash? Make a bet with your partner to collect a $1 every time you see an Arrow truck broken down on the side of the road. They're all over the place. Unless you love tarping in the heat, snow or pouring rain and enjoy waiting for hours at dingy polluted steel mills, dragging heavy rusty chains and binders, then let me save you time, money frustration and aggravation - go elsewhere for a better job.
