    Be warned this is a swamp. Lies, lies and more lies. I too read about the lies, but thought I would chance it and find out for myself. Get this, I explained my concern in regards to the lies my driver manager was feeding me and my feelings of mistrust to the DM supervisor. His reply, "well, that person is making their numbers/stats". Read the background of this company on the internet. There is no corporate integrity and you will be another "piece of meat" in a seat who is easily replaced. It's nothing to call in and be put on hold for a half hour or longer. The longest I've waited was over over an hour. It's not unusual to wait longer on the weekend. You will get a message over Peoplenet telling you they are under staffed and to send a message. I was told by my DM the driver ratio is more than 25 to 1. Course, that may have been a lie too, it's probably much higher. They say the calls are monitored, but by whom? Because there is no change and they lie just as much. You will be forced dispatched and expect to be in the shop for breakdown. Most of the fleet is older and there is no break down pay. I asked for an additional key for my truck and was given a "blank" key. The shop manager said, their key cutter was broke, (as he smiled) and I could take the blank key to a dealer and they would cut me one. Oh, yeah I was told the truck was clean when they issued it to me. I took out a garbage bag of trash including the id card of one of the guys who quit the company. I told the shop manager about it, he said, "we have someone contracted to clean em out". I told him they needed to fire the guy cause I just filled a huge trash bag of junk. A guy I know got eaten up by bed bugs in his truck. It was so bad they had to have a pest company come out and spray his truck. It was days before he even got out on the road to make any miles for his first pay check. He's not working there any longer either. And yes, they have two way camera's in the trucks. Even a major carrier stopped using both cameras and told their employees to cover up the lens facing the driver. They will get you to "swap" out trailers with other drivers. Swapping out cuts into your pay. It is just another way the company can pad their pockets and keep money out of yours. In regards to miles and planning, your miles are based on where you live. Example, if your a solo driver and you live in Pennsylvania, expect to drive in the NE states, only. You will drive in a four to five hundred mile radius of your home. They might throw you a bone to NC in that region and if your real lucky, GA. Oh, they will tell you, "when your in Arkansas, stop in and see us" they are just playing you. Not once did I get enough miles to make their "new pay scale" mark. I was lucky if my pay check cleared seven hundred dollars a week. Take your gross, divide it by 55 and see what your rate of pay is and you don't even get a happy meal for your work while on the job. The planning and dispatch was so bad, I went from OTR to Regional. I couldn't get enough miles the first week to have a decent recap for my second week. If your a team, course the miles etc. are gonna be different and I wouldn't know about that. They know by keeping you in the NE, (1/3 of their business is there) and carrying 45,000 lbs over the Appalachian's what kind of miles your gonna make in a week. They will run you in some of the most congested cities there are, (NY,Boston,Washington, Philly, etc.) in the north east. If your a new driver looking for training, go some where else, check out one of the mega carriers. This companies business is basically east of 35 and your better off learning how to drive all over the U.S. as to to just half of the U.S. Pay for driver trainers is way under what other carriers are paying. Getting the picture of this company? Just remember we told you it is lies, lies and more lies with the people in this company and that's the truth!

    When applying for this company make sure you understand. The recruiters will not tell you everything.

    So the recruiters are very pushy to get you out I told him that I was not interested and I was trying to do more homework on their company and they really kept pursuing to push to get me in the door so then I told him how far would orientation be in course it's out of state and I'm not interested then they say what do I not understand that I am approved and they're waiting and I told them that it was too far away that I wanted to stay in the Texas area only and neighbors 2 on still texting wow A+

    People are super nice and very courteous. You have to drop the trailer to be loaded. There is plenty of space to park and maneuver, and wait for your trailer to be loaded. They have a drivers launch with restroom and showers if you need to take a quick one for free.

    Yard guy can't handle anyone who can drive. Famous words "I'm going to tell on you". Make sure to get hit instead of being safe and pulling into that yard. He has a problem

    Dispatchers are very friendly and empathetic to the drivers. An amazing place to start a career as a Class A CDL truck driver!

  • 4/5 UnkTrucker 6 months ago on Google
    Guard is a nice guy. Big open yard. Free coffee. Showers need cleaning. All 4 showers had toilet paper on the ground and hair everywhere. The only down part is the showers. Everything else isn't that bad.
