This is a better than average trucking company and the pay is really nice and love the insurance plan. I pay nothing for mine and the company contributes to my deductible. The 401k has a great match of up to 6 percent. Also sick pay and vacation time are nice. You can achieve 4 weeks vacation time here. Also, management tries their best to work with you when you need time off. I have been here over ten years. I regret not finding this company sooner. Management here are human beings so they aren’t perfect and they cannot perform miracles; but, they try their best to accommodate their employees whenever possible. The only time I have seen negative attitudes here is from the occasional driver who disrespects those in authority over them. I like the management here and I have never had an issue with them. Equipment is great! Our shop employees are awesome and on top of things. The only draw back here is that  retail has peaks and valleys, so some months are slower than others. You have to put back pay for when it is slow and you never know just how slow or for how long. Our IT guys are great. Our safety training and our ELDs are all pretty much what everyone in the industry  that pays anything would expect from their drivers. I love the people I work for and most of the ones that I work with. I hope I am blessed to get to retire with this company! Also, we get a really nice discount on merchandise purchasers and I love it!

If you run teams be ready for "the good old boys" attitude with dispatching. Dispatch does get assigned till 3pm at the latest. Half of the dispatching seemed like they were new to Dispatching( dispatcher have 10+yrs exp.)  One pay period made net $4600 next pay period netted $760 
I was told as a team I would make around 92k a year and my co-driver was told around 98k. 
They have predetermined milage pay to pickup/drop-off locations and its hard to find out what it is. 

I would definitely work here again if the miles were alot more consistent. You could get a random week off. They already know they aren't going to work you that week but make you call in and give you hopes that you might work the next day.



The only real good thing I could say about this company is the pay. Other than that, forget about having a home life or time with family.  Most runs are originated in the evening/night and unless you communicate with dispatch forget about them letting you know if you have a dispatch for that night. You wont know till usually around 4 p.m. From my experiences expect constant attitude and a non caring my way or the highway approach from management. They are friendly until you cant help them or live by the phone 24/7. Pay is on time and usually no errors. Good starter job for someone looking to get doubles experience.  

Work is off and on, just depending on the season, time of year. I learned that management gave work to those that didn’t argue, complain. Management and corporate didn’t care about giving work to favorite drivers. There was nothing hard about this job. Traveling store to store and meeting all the different store employees was pretty awesome. Plain and simple if you don’t letting guys take your runs because they are some of the favorites. I wouldn’t recommend this company at all!  

If you can get through the long application process, this is a great to work. The compensation is top notch and the management doesn't really bother the drivers. The work life balance can be a bit lopsided in the busy season with the unpredictable schedule but for those who are willing to sacrifice, it can be well worth it. The equipment is updated 1st for the team drivers and then to the single drivers. Overall though any issues I had the shop took care of it right away. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy job , good equipment and no inside cameras in the truck.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pay is inconsistent.  Management isn't organized and then they blame the driver for poor communication.  When any problems could have be avoided if Management prepared and communicated better. They will set you up for failure. It's definitely the good Ole system.. They play favorites and  do not work everyone equally.

Customer is a retail store in a shopping mall. Driving a set of doubles into a mall parking lot, surrounded by idjits paying no attention to the world around them.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hook a set of doubles. Go to 1st store, drop and hook. Go to 2nd store, drop and hook. Return to distribution center.

With more than 50 years driving and working for many carriers, I can say FWCC is one of the better run and less stressful companies I have ever worked for. The job is very predictable with very little waiting time or hang ups. The management is open and has the feel of a family run business. I know my views as a part time driver may be a little different from full time, but most drivers I have talked too seem very content with the company.

Management is terrible. They do not care about their drivers needs. Just that they get the freight delivered. It is busy about 3-4 months out of the year. Right around Christmas. The rest of the time it is famine. They also cater to the team drivers. They do have a lot of slow months. Where there is not a lot of freight moving.
