I have worked for ATR for 3 years and I was skeptical at first because they appeared to be a temp service when I first applied. I quickly found that ATR was much more than a temp service because I was employed directly through ATR, received medical benefits after 90 days, received vacation pay, and best of all, overtime pay after 40 hours. They set me up in Detroit, MI and I worked for 2 of their customers directly. Not bad! I wish I didn't have to quit because I moved to Kentucky but they don't have an office there :(

I always worked 40-50 hours per week and I really miss the people there. Very honest, down to Earth staff at ATR and the work I did was simple.  Mostly drop and hook with some live loading.  They offered me a switcher position after a few months, which I liked, but I drove OTR for so long, getting in/out of the truck so much was taking its toll on me.  When I told them that I couldn't keep doing the switcher job because it was too hard for me, within a week they set me up doing a shuttle run across town.  2-3 trips per day and I always worked about 10 hours.  Sometimes 12, but usually not.  If there was Saturday work, I took it because everything over 40 was overtime pay.  

I highly recommend ATR! They always took care of me.

There were options for me to work up to 70 hours, but I didn't want to run an e-log.  That was the great thing about working less than 12 hour days, no log required, period!  OTR may be great for some people. but I saved so much money by not having to eat horrible fast food every day.  I lost 40 pounds just by switching to local work and it was nice to actually be able to see my family every day.  

Give them a shot.  Way better than the others offering more money. I found that more money didn't always mean I was happy with what I was doing, and these other companies lied to me!  I tried two other companies that promised me local work, but ended up running all over MI, OH, PA. IN,  and I didn't get overtime pay....well, I did, but not until 65 hours.  

Anyway, they are one of the best companies I ever drove for and I know they will be around for a long time because they actually treat the driver well.  They are the real deal. Anyone old enough to remember Key Line Freight out of Grand Rapids, MI will know exactly what I am talking about.

A typical day is getting up as with any job.
I learnd how to drive a semi for the first time ever.
I can say that management was ok but the boss was not so nice.
I was fired due to my other half who I drove with that said he would not drive there truck with a camera and audio in it . Yes it could hear and see everything we did. So instead of talking with me he fired both of us . It would have been nice had he asked me what I wanted, but he did not. I love the job and working with my other half until the camera.I enjoyed being able to talk about thing that were prive whith him until the camera.

I was contracted to NPO and it was the worst experience I've had as a truck driver. NPO dispatch hung up on me several times. I was told "I dont have time for that" every time I asked a question. Lane shut down constantly. Not consistant work. ATR did NOT help me in finding another company to work at. After numerous times of being treated poorly and asking to switch and not getting recognized I simply quit. NO help whatsoever. Pay was horrible. Benefits were a joke. 80% of my weekly pay just for family health insurance? You cant live and support a family AND have health insurance.

If you are a new drivers or just want to get off the road they are good to work for.  For experienced drivers, I would say stay away.  The pay has not increased in 2 years or more, there is no holiday pay and no 401k.  Unheard of today.  It is local work and dedicated with a great schedule, but that is not enough to keep someone long term.  They should at least review drivers who have been there a while and offer raises/holiday/401k.  They keep saying they are not a temp agency but they are not a career move either.  Come on guys, step it up a bit.

Nice people and good work but I got burned out on local work. I wanted to try local after working OTR for so many years but I ended up going back OTR because I was in and out of the truck a lot.  I liked ATR and they did keep me busy but sometimes to busy.  Not really there fault.  Dispatcher was ok. I never ran ilegal and the equipment I ran wasn't too bad.  Nothing like the KW I ran previously but hey daycab is totally different.  If you end up workin at ATR tell them big top said hi

My time at ATR was a great time. The dispatch always checked with me to see how I was doing and asked what they could do to make it better for me.  They offered more hours if I wanted them and they were not upset if I said no.  They gave me pay increases based on how I was doing at the job.  It was a fun place to work and I would have stayed there for a lot longer if I stayed in trucking.

Working at ATR was a learning experience. I had a wide variety of driving responsibilities from local shuttle work to OTR. Also there were times I did some travel trips where I flew out to pick up my truck. The people were friendly and very professional. The benefits were poor with self paid health insurance. Mi/BlueCross/Blue Shield. I paid $194 a week for insurance with $2500 deductible which made it useless for coverage.NO 401K or retirement benefits. My first 8 years was at $13 per hour.

As a temp agency ATR has many of the best clients for drivers to work for. However, the nature of temporary work dictates that the ATR employee may get less than desirable hours and equipment.

lousy company, low pay and no benefits. I don't have anything else to say about this company , except that I only took a job working for them because I'd rather work than draw unemployment.

i worked for this company for 5 years. i did local and OTR. Never had a accident and never missed a day at work. After asking several times for a reasonable pay increase i was denied. 

i found out they were hiring people in the door at my same pay. What a slap in the face. DO NOT APPLY HERE! You've been warned!
