Breckenridge Trucking Inc.

I was hired as an owner operator in March 2019 went through orientation  .At the first it seemed like a nice family owned business .
I didn't know I was about to start at the most deceitful company I have worked for. When I was going through orientation they took my truck for inspection and install the computer. They made unnecessary repairs on the truck without my permission. My first pay check, they started taking money out . I recieved no invoice. After asking for it several times .They changed me for inspection, unnecessary repairs basically the whole time the truck was parking there when I was going through orientation . Owner operator  this is the wrong place for you not only the loads don't pay enough to keep you afloat but they will always find a way to RIP you off. They don't  care about the law ,want you to run on PC, also you gonna be the bottom feeder when it slows down company drivers come first .They have Dispatch and front office doing  their dirty work . The owners hide behind closed doors will not answer your calls or email.

A typical office day for a salaried person is 9 - 10 hours.  We are held accountable for the jobs and tasks for which we have. If we strive to meet those expectations, then we are compensated accordingly. 

We do have a culture that encourages collaboration between team members and across company sections. We each do our part to ensure that the company runs as smooth as possible.

Management is open to conversations to improve and you can be a part of that process if you choose to do so. If you identify a problem, come with a possible solution, it may not be implemented, but it keeps you in the conversation.

My only drawback is that some of the most important discussions start within minutes of time  to go home. I understand why this happens, but unfortunately my spouse does not.

Owner will call you on your 34, he will call/email or text you at 9:30 at night, expecting you to drop everything and andwer him on your time, change dispatch suddenly while you're halfway there without a simple phone call, then get angry and swear at you for HIS lapse in communication. He doesn't care about his drivers and never will. As far as the owner is concerned, that truck takes precedent over anything in your life. So unless you're on your 3rd divorce or your kids are grown and you don't want a life, steer clear, cause if you work here, that truck is your life now.

They expect you to run your full clock for minimum wage. Extremely low pay for hazmat loads. There is not a single person in that office that has the slightest idea about the trucking industry and it shows once you start working for them. They don’t care about the drivers they just need a warm body on the seat to drive their cheap freight. Benefits are extremely expensive for families. They have a high turn over but they they to
make it look like they are a growing company. I am surprised they are still
in business. This place has zero integrity. 

Don't work for Breckenridge Trucking.
As driver you are given too much to work to complete in 14 hours daily and hassled by the dispatcher for not completing the deliveries. Once a week expect to use your 16 hour exemption

Don't injury yourself on the job, or take a FMLA leave, they will terminate your employment afterwards claiming your job has been replaced.

Fellow Drivers: do yourself a favor and stay away from this employer

Working at Breckenridge Trucking has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As an accountant here, I genuinely enjoy the work I do and appreciate how supportive and organized the company is. The leadership values accuracy, teamwork, and communication. It’s a company that truly cares about its employees, and it shows in the positive work environment and the pride everyone takes in what they do. I’m grateful to be part of such a dependable and hardworking team!

This company is a great employer that values its drivers and employees. Management is respectful, approachable, and committed to safety. Equipment is well maintained, communication is excellent, and there is strong support of the drivers. Pay is competitive and schedules are managed fairly. I appreciate being part of a company that prioritizes safety. I would highly recommend this employer to other drivers looking for a reliable company to work for.

Manager/dispatch will continuously ask you to run illegally, encouraging you to run on PC. They want you to get everything fixed in Wenona IL at the shop, but won't pay you for your time lost. They want everything for free. Dispatch will completely ignore you if you tell them you need to get something repaired on the truck. Run it until you're broke down on the side of the road, then leave you sitting for 14 hrs. Terrible company, terrible management. Zero integrity.

Owners welcome a team environment. Feels like a family.  All input seems welcomed by the owners.  In fact we meet weekly in round table discussion.  Ideas and input from all is encouraged.

This company is working hard to improve the image of the trucking industry.   I am very sure that they are not just the average trucking company.  Good people!

Great pay only hiccup is you will have take your truck up to the terminal for free for tank inspection no matter where u live no fuel reimbursement and they inspect your truck for d.o.t inspection and if something is wrong they can fix it so that's a hidden cost because I'm sure 9 times out of 10 they will find something but the money is great
