Dishonest

Pros

It's a job. You can take home $1000 in a week. You can do 6000 miles in a week Minimum wage, but with very strong caveats.

Cons

Inconsistent miles. Dishonest pay rates (They tell you 52 cents a mile, but pay you 48 cents if you take the per diem, meaning Uncle Sam subsidizes you and you lose 4 cents every mile) One of the worst trucking companies in the US for being pulled in for inspections. They have a score of 98/100, but they don't tell you that. THEN they fine you $50 from your wages for a bad inspection. Very paranoid about their employees. Very poor support from admin, etc. Not great equipment. Old school, militaristic training and punishment. They claim to be Christian, but not generous, not honest, not trustworthy. If you have an accident and someone is injured or killed, you must call them first, so they will contact relatives rather than them contacting attorneys. No driver should be expected to do this on behalf of a company. It's shameful.

Pros

Fun, fast paced and challenging work. Always something new. its a trucking company and I was helping to coordinate freight flow, I felt like I was truly playing positive a role in helping truck drivers and suppliers, and merchants support their families, helping stores keep shelves stocked so that people could open great Christmas presents.

Cons

they use temp services to hire "temp to hire" individuals and promise 40K+ after 60 days. problem is hardly any one makes it past 40. its like clock work. the management is friendly and knowable but will stab you in the back and not think twice. I was promised that if I was any thing I could improve on that Management would discuss it with me and I would be given a chance to correct it. I worked HARD 50+ hrs. keep my head down, didn't leave till the job was done, volunteered to take on hard tasks, mentored two individuals who came after me. offered thoughtful suggestions when asked, participated in meetings. my floor supervisor, Director of ops. and VP of Ops. all complemented me on the work I was doing, Told me I had nothing to worry about talked about how I would get more training after Christmas, invited me into hire level management meetings. Then after working a 10 hour day on Friday,10 days before Christmas I got a call from the temp agency telling me that "They didn't feel that I fit with their organization" and they canceled my contract 10 days before they were contractually obligated to hire me, and double my pay. They pride them selves on Christian values, but they only value money.

Pros

Good start job if you don't have a family

Cons

A lot of things are said to get you into the company. Been for them to 6 months and get bad pay .30 a mile split miles and they only give you about 1k miles a week. I'll be honest we lost our home I am busting my but I don't get to see my family who are now in a shelter. They tell you paid vacation and I haven't seen a paid vacation yet. Your suppose to get a raise after 90 days and that was a lie no one has seen that raise to 56 cpm. I live in Ma asked for a run up to MA to see my family for maybe a hour break and they said no to me I can't see my family. They claim they are Christian based company well sorry if they don't care about your family and your life that's not Christian at all
