Question:
Can any one tell me any thing about deBoer Inc?
Good/Bad

Answer:
I believe there was someone over on layover.com who drove for them and was reasonably happy. You might do a search on the boards over there. DeBoer is on my short list of possible employers as well, but I haven't contacted them as yet.

Answer:
Now Im not totally positive on this, but I heard recently that most of their trucks have auto transmissions. If you have no experience driving trucks, its best to learn a manual transmission than go to a auto. That way, if you decide to leave, you can go to a company that has manuals instead of autos. Manuals are still the norm here. Autos are making their way up, but not many companys have them yet.
They have dry vans and curtainsides. They probably haul alot of mexico based freight as well, seeing that they have offices in Texas.
As for trucks they have Freightliner Columbias, Volvos, and Internationals.

Answer:
Thanks for the info! Everyone on these boards has been really helpful!
