1st Platinum Freight inc.

I’ve been driving with this company for half a year now, and I can say it’s one of the better companies I’ve worked for in this industry. Like any job, it’s got its ups and downs, but overall, it’s a solid place to be if you’re looking for steady work and fair treatment.

First off, the pay is good, I bring home a reliable paycheck. They’re pretty good about getting you miles if that’s what you’re after. The equipment is newer — most of the trucks are well-maintained and breakdowns are rare. Dispatch treats you with respect and doesn’t breathe down your neck. If you’re doing your job, they leave you be.

They have a good support system, so you never have to be out on your own. Whether it be road issues, routing, truck issues or just simple questions.

Home time is decent. I usually get home when I ask, and they try to work with you on schedules — especially if you communicate early. No company is perfect, but they seem to care about drivers more than most places I’ve worked at.

Like anywhere, things can get a little slow sometimes. A day with less miles here and there or occasional delays at the shipper. But that's just a part of trucking and the company always makes up for it. Dispatchers are a hit or miss depending on which one you get, but I've personally never had problems switching dispatchers when needed. The management is fair and understanding in that regard. 

Days go by fast for me, I have almost no waiting between freight pick ups and deliveries, though they can come up from time to time, I can safely say dispatch is really responsive and professional when getting everything organized, Safety keeps me up to date on anything that either needs improvement or assessed, the fleet guys do what they can to help me keep my truck maintained to the best standard possible, the hardest part is definitely when you have to get something fixed or worse replaced on the fly, most of the services are better left to be done at the terminal in IL, it way less costly, though the best thing for me has to be dispatch for sure, my communication with them has been amazing, they do a good job of providing work for me, which for a driver, means a lot!   

I can't say enough great things about 1st Platinum Freight. As a company driver and a parent with one child at home, finding the right work-life balance used to feel impossible — until I joined this team. From day one, they treated me with respect, supported my goals, and truly understood that family comes first.

The dispatchers are professional, organized, and actually listen — they make sure I'm home when I need to be without sacrificing my miles or pay. The equipment is top-notch, the maintenance is always on point, and the entire operation runs smoothly. No surprises, no games — just a company that values its drivers and does what they say they’ll do.

I’ve worked for other freight companies before, and nothing compares. 1st Platinum Freight isn’t just a job — it’s a place where I feel appreciated and supported, both as a driver and as a parent. They’ve helped me provide a better life for my child while doing a job I love.

If you’re looking for a company that genuinely has your back — this is it. I’ll never drive anywhere else.

I've been driving for 1st Platinum for about a year now, and it's been a positive experience. The trucks are well maintained, even though there are a few I was offered that are a little older (2019-2021). However, any issues with trucks are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Dispatch is good at talking to you and getting you rolling without riding you too hard.

Fair pay and always on time, with some decent bonuses if you are safe and reliable. I also appreciate that they get you home when you ask for it — no promises made to be broken.

What really sets them apart is the way they treat drivers. You're not a number here. Everyone is professional and a joy to work with.

Trucking isn’t always easy, but this is the best company I’ve worked for. Would definitely recommend to any driver looking for a reliable place to work.

This company is the worst to work for went to have my truck repaired due to a bad door latch went home for the weekend and the company ghosted me cannot get a hold of anybody and when I came down to the office on the website no one is at that location went to where they supposedly put my truck they cleaned my truck out and put all my stuff in a dirty Comics box for me to pick up.

The best experience I earned in my career, communication is on point, which makes days go by faster, truck is kept maintained and utilized close to perfection,
The dispatch is by far the best thing in this company, they know how to handle they're responsibilities, Safety is a priority after all.
I can recommend this company to anyone that knows that teamwork makes everything solvable!   

To whoever needs to hear this stay as far away from the s***** company they just take your money and don't do anything for the drivers. They will falsify your records just to pick up a load or deliver a load. There is nothing good about first Platinum Freight nothing good.

Love this company and truck I received 
Being able to work to own my truck and take my career to the next level has enhanced my life. There is no limit to how much I can earn it’s all up to how much I want to work. What I put in I get out. 
They are very concerned about the drivers, their issues and other employees. They give the drivers best options in loads and routes. Dispatch service is supporting drivers 24/7.
