I am stuck and i need an opinion

[ajs592]

I live in Chicago, Illinois and i have been a truck and trailer mechanic for 20 years. I need some help. I have to job offers from 2 different companies which are Dayton Freight and R&L Carriers. I'm here because i need everyone's opinion on which company is better suited for me to go to. They both equally pay and benefits are both great i just need to know which company is better and which will have a better chance to last because so many of my jobs have went bankrupt....Thank you in advance for your opinions.

i never heard of Dayton freight.....

R+L however has been growing. i know this, because a co-worker of mine works for R+L and they are getting more freight than they can handle.

Personally I would opt for the better maintained equipment.
You know full well that pay and bennies are irrelevant if the equipment is faulty.
Here are two ideas for further info:
DAYTON FREIGHT - Truckingboards
--
R&L CARRIERS - Truckingboards

well, i have worked at Jevic and they had very good equipment and yet they went bankrupt and now im in Vitran and there equipment is not the best but atleast im working there.
