I'm hired on with Acme Truck Line. I finished the 2 day orientation yesterday. They bought us lunch at a great little cafe just down the road. Orientation was pretty basic, the usual videos, discussions, and tests. I think I'll like it here. Its a 100% O/O or small fleet lease company. The truck owner told me I'll be an O/O without the expenses. I run the truck like it's mine. As long as the truck covers the loads that it's dispatched on I won't hear from him. Acme will dispatch my loads going out and the owner, who is an agent for Landstar will cover my backhauls. The company offers some great investment oppurtunities. Anyone that is interested in this company should definately take a look. I'm just getting started here but I know several people with trucks leased to them that are very happy. I'm planning on driving for this owner awhile and learning the ropes then trying my hand at buying a truck and leasing it on with them.

Q:
I am in the hiring process with Acme Drive Away in Von Ormy, TX. Does anyone
have any experience or information about Acme - San Antonio Drive Away?
Specifically, the benefits, hours (number of hours per week), pay (yearly),
duties, the quality of the equipment, how they treat their drivers, employee
moral/turnover rate, etc, etc?
A:
Pay ranges anywhere from 19% to 30% TTT depending on what you agree with your
owner/boss.
While a larger split TTT is always better for an O/O I think at least in the
OKC terminal the 18 wheel flat bedders are doing quite fine. My brother is
grossing about $8000 per week and is pretty happy with it. They also have a
heavy haul division and they are doing much better than that.

I am leased on with them. I've been with them about 5 months now. I run mostly Pa, Oh and Wv which is my choice. Be patient with them there are good weeks a few bad weeks but as many outstanding weeks. I had a week last month that was better than my best week ever at the last company running 2 trucks there to my 1 here!

I
run flatbed out of OKC. I started with ACME last year in May. Now we have half
the trucks as last year. But this means we are BUSY. Right now the OKC terminal
is looking for one more truck to pull a 48' flat and one or two hot shots.
It's all O/O. However "company" drivers like myself get approved by
the company to drive an owner's truck. You are paid a percentage. Last month
was my best month since starting, generating $28K to the truck.
About half my loads are local runs to and from rigs. About half are longer
hauls to customer yards to Texas, Wyoming, ND, PA, and WV. For backhauls I use
load boards.
