Christenson Transportation, Inc.

I loved my job until they kept hiring different recruiting managers. I had been doing my job for over 7 years, and was constantly being uprooted from I thought was a pretty good system. I did not want to be taken out of my classroom and put in a cubicle, that is the only reason I left. The drivers would come talk to me because I was right by the back door. I didn't want them to have to search for me in some cubicle. I just knew I wasn't going to do well in a noisy environment at all. Other than that Christenson Transportation was a great place to work. I miss my Christenson family.

Great 2023 Peterbuilt 579's, all leather and  fully loaded with the Epic package. Well maintained trucks and trailers. Good people in the office. Freight was great sometimes. Occasionally shippers and deliveries were unreasonable, but they do have many good accounts that are easy for the driver. They are good at getting drivers home. Better to stay out 3 or 4 weeks to make more money. I was a "company" driver.  Inward facing cameras are actually good for protecting the driver in the event of an accident were the driver is not at fault. I left to drive local. I enjoyed my time there.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving otr across the country and looking at the scenery

Typical work day is picking up and delivery of freight.
Did not learn anything new most enjoy the party is traveling. 
The most negative part is them keeping all of your deposits for maintenance or anything else they may deem you owe them when you work for nothing a dollar a mile.
Maintained the truck to a higher standard than they asked for change the oil every 15,000 miles.

I was expecting to run hard when I started with this company.  That's what they tell you when you start. However,  they try to keep you at 2500 or less a week.  That equals about 1250 bring home after expenses. The truck less payment is too high. .43 cents per mile. And they dont pay the first 50 miles of deadhead which is about 200 plus miles per dispatch.  They do however charge you that 50 miles for your truck lease.  Not a company I would recommend to anyone.  They need to work on being more driver oriented 

They are the worst company i have ever worked for in my 35 years.There management is a JOKE.They will lie about anything to get you to a delivery.They will not pay you but 25 dollars a day for layover.Never want ypu to go home,especially if you lease a truck from them.I would advise you to run the opposite direction from them.They will paint you a grear picture











a great picture for you



when I first arrived at Christenson Transportation I felt energized and they were all so eager to help me get started. As the years went by I noticed a change in attitudes and a difference in how I was treated and they decreased the pay so I Made a change to New World Transportation

Low pay, high expenses for the Lease Purchase Program. Hard to make a living with this job. Management is never satisfied with your work. Driver facing camera that beeps all day long. Contract is being changed to benefit the company leaving the driver with even more expenses. If you resign they keep your final paycheck.
