Glenn Thurman Inc

This is a company that was willing to help me out of the catch 22 to break into the trucking industry.  you need x years driving for most trucking companies to hire you, but you need to get hired to earn those years.  Most companies out there who snag newbie drivers due to this catch 22 will milk the driver for all they're worth with minimum pay for industry standard.  

However This company paid = standard to their other drivers despite taking the chance of no civilian side experience in the field (only military)

Overall the company management were fair and reasonable within a limit.  I personally made some bad choices while empoyed here such as parking the truck for an extended period of time without notifying my dispatcher.

The company will have you driving a full 11hr shift of your available hours, which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your personality.

though we parted ways, I would still thank them for helping me break past the catch 22, and if you're a driver with experience and a license but no "civilan side" experience this is a good company to start in.  try it out for 6 months, and if you enjoy it stick around, if not then you've at least gotten past the catch 22 time frame and can seek other employment options without worry about whether someone will hire you due to lack of experience.

Good place if your in Johnson county and NEED to be home daily and don’t need very much money. The percentage pay isn’t terrible but the hourly for running a dump truck is $16 and hour. Your CDL is worth more than that. Some of the managers seem to genuinely care about the drivers but overall the company doesn’t. Equipment is in pretty good shape for an aggregate company and the shop works hard to keep the trucks on the road. But they’re also underpaid so the turnover rate is high. No work when it rains so be prepared for some slow weeks (one of the reasons you won’t make much money) the drivers are good people for the most part, willing to lend a hand and give advice. This was my first experience not pulling a dry van so I went in blind but never felt like I couldn’t ask a fellow driver for help. Don’t expect to average more than $600 a week.

day starts between 2am - 7am. put in 12-16 hours of work. 

Co workers are great, always there to lend a hand and help out.

work 70 hours a week. If you don't get your 70 hours in by Friday you will be dispatched to work on Saturday. Even if you only have 3 hours left to work.

Pay is paid on percentage of load. Loads are paid based on bids made to customers by management. If your lucky to get good paying loads your checks are very nice. some weeks you can get poor paying loads with a lot of unpaid time in the truck which calculates to very low checks. 

Hardest part of the job is keeping the trailer clean.( not hard at all if you don't put it off)

Making good friends and working together is the most enjoyable part of the job

Was sent home during orientation  because I didn't have my ss card and thank God for it. Said they were retracting the offer but I had already knew I wasn't going back.  If you like working  your butt off for pennies than this is the place for you.  Judgemental  people in the worst way. They have you pegged on how your to be treated before you get in the door. Act like they run everything by the book but they are no different than the rest of the lying companies out there. If you been in the business for any length of time you know  what I'm talking about.  Do yourself a favor and go make some real money elsewhere.  This place is a joke.  Not a good bunch of people and the pay is the absolute worst.

This is one of those companies where you get what you put in. If you run all your loads in your dispatch board you have a good check. If you drag your feet then you will be paid what you worked. The job is easy and straight forward and the equipment is top notch. Definitely one of the best places I've worked.

Great equipment, not a 5 star company, but for the most part they treat you right, decent benefits, pay is low, but like i said there equipment is good, so you dont have to break your back re building the equipment. Friendly, family oriented place

Started off great. Over time things changed. Company wanted more out of you than job duties without incentives... Gives ultimatums that could affect your bills. 

get to work early and see where I'm going. check my truck out(pre-trip). clean windows and mirrors. talk to other drivers to see whose going to the same job sites.

Very unorganized, poor management, decent benefits,poor work conditions. Does not care about its employees. Would not recommend.Low compensation.

Worked for this company for three summers as a inter, while in college. Great company to work for learn the ins and outs of the concrete construction try quickly.
