I’ve Been with Empire national for 3 Years and this is the greatest opportunity ever. Great communication, Flexible Hours, POSITIVE MORNING MESSAGE EVERY SINGLE morning which is really impressive consistent and much needed. I can’t say enough how many times their morning message has inspired, encouraged and motivated me tremendously. Empire national is a Family to me and has had my Back every step of the way and also went out their way to help me often. It’s a great team work program long as you understand your assignment. Their dispatchers are the best in the world and very nice and welcoming. Accounting team is the best with all payments and on time payment’s also are the greatest. I’ve done business with many logistics companies in the past and hands down no doubt EMPIRE NATIONAL IS THE BEST. 
Their HR is the best too and they address problems then immediately rectify it with a SOUND SOLUTION. TRACKING TEAM IS WONDERFUL ALSO AND VERY CONSISTENT AND NEEDED. THERES NO OTHER COMPANY THATS MATCHING EMPIRE NATIONAL RATE PER MILE AND LOAD CONSISTENCY. Their 24/7 Dispatch is Stupendous. Great company and greater opportunities so please join the best!! Empire national WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Thanks for our lifetime opportunities because I’m not getting off the ship!! My seat is permanent…. Unit#1275 

The company offers dynamic work in the cargo transportation market in the USA.
The experience of senior staff is perfectly complemented by the passion and tenacity of young colleagues. The team sets itself ambitious plans and successfully achieves their implementation. 
A great place both for a start of a young specialist, and for experienced professionals aimed at career growth.
Here you will inevitably improve your professional and personal qualities. Teamwork is based on responsibility and mutual respect.
Job responsibilities are clearly distributed, work in an open office space allows you to quickly learn from the experience of leading specialists. Teamwork and competitive salaries add moment  to the competition, allow you to improve your results, both in professional and material levels.

This company is very unorganized and communication does not exist. Often You will have several different dispatchers that are working out of the same building double book you for conflicting loads. Often times after being assigned and in route to a load they will call and want you to accept another load due to lack of  communication. This company has no respect for their drivers . The driver support does not support the drivers. They also make a lot of empty promises during the hiring process. Load planning is horrible they often have you 2hours early for an appointment when they do not pay detention pay and will call and constantly harass you to report to the yard and leave for a trip just to arrive 2 hrs prior to your appointment. The dispatch team are not knowledgeable in logistics . Very unstable a new dispatcher every week.  

Working with empire is a complete waste of time unless you like driving for free. They won’t accept your rates if you’re looking to profit anything, they want you to drive for free and never have a load coming back from a destination if you plan on going back towards home. Dispatchers don’t answer the phone ever and are rude and want to make you take loads for cheap. Dispatchers will make an excuse that they don’t have enough money to pay you for your rate, but we all know that shippers pay them for sourcing a driver for the load. Loads are extremely inconsistent, I’d advise anyone looking to make the pay they list on to try a different company because you will not make that weekly.They do not care about your bills they do not care about drivers!



They have dispatchers that want to trick you into doing rides at different times and days. Many times I would go out to a location and no load would be there. Sometimes the dispatchers tell you its 50 miles away but then it could be up to 150 miles away.... they dont care... once you accept a trip.... you are responsible or they will take you out of order.... 80 percent of the time things run smoothly... 20% is a desperate dispatcher trying to make a fast buck by telling you one thing but knowing you'll say yes...  then you complain to HR and they always side with their people over you cause they are all working together to hustle you.... i got very smart and only accepted what I wanted and just hung up the phone when they got too agressive

A typical day at work is all about helping others achieve their goals. I have learned that the logistics business is a lot of hard work. Top management is always looking out for everyone who is not afraid of challenges. The workplace culture is professional and well managed. The most difficult part of this job is dealing with unprofessional owner/operators. The best part of working for Empire National is knowing how lucky we are to belong to such a professional organization.

I bought insurance and filled out the contract with this company. I received many texts and calls from "dispatchers" who claimed they had loads. When they asked me to give them an offer of how much I'd charge for doing a delivery, I found out...

They only want to pay you barely for your gas for doing a delivery... if that. You make no money. It's like driving around to barely get gas and sometimes lose money because they don't even want to pay what you for the gas.

This is why I ended my contract with them. I had a box truck and they said at the beginning that they had a lot of loads and deliveries. Lie, lie, lie. 

Run far from these people!

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is NO good part , they DO NOT value or respect drivers !

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Communication with them is A NIGHTMARE !

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lack of communication , 99.9 percent of them DO NOT understand or know proper English !

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful due to the communication thanks to their lack of English, that is WHY THEY DONT ANSWER BECAUSE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL!

They have a few rude dispatchers.  Some of the dispatchers get an attitude and question you when you say you can’t take a load.  If you take your complaints about the rude dispatchers to HR, they do absolutely nothing.  They do have a lot of work if you are willing to take it. I can barely understand some of the employees when they call. The app for the company is a complete joke. Ten different people from the company will text you whilst you’re driving asking for updates on the load , or to update your location in the app. This is all WHILE DRIVING. 

If you were thinking about working for this company I would think again. If you like working for no pay this is the company for you. The numbers they post are completely inaccurate. Expect something in the average of 1000 or less average per week if any at all. Also plan on doing work and not getting paid for it. Not even four expenses. Just trying to help others make a better judgment call. This industry is hard enough to navigate.
