HMD Trucking

Overall, HMD is a great company to work for! In the transportation industry, there are a lot of factors outside of a drivers as well as a companies control. 95% of the issues I've had on the road, at shippers and/or receivers, or just in general are all part of the job and not a reflection of the company. In my opinion HMD does a great job of maintaining their trucks. Since I've started HMD has always kept me moving and in 9 months I have not had to wait on my dispatcher to find my next load longer than maybe an hour, and I believe that only happened one time. All other times I have been dispatched my next load while I was still completing the one I was on. HMD has done a great job of accommodating my schedule when I requested time off, or requested to be in a certain city for an event that I wanted or needed to go to. When I have had mechanical issues with my vehicle HMD did a great job communicating with me a plan to get it taken care of and get me back on the road in a timely manner. Even when issues have came up after hours, HMD always had someone available to answer the phone and address the issue. When I first started, I found it impressive that before they re-issue a truck from one driver to another, they have it professionally detailed and ready for use. Overall, my experience with HMD has been great and I would highly recommend this company! 

All live load and unload. Detention and layover not guaranteed by the company. If the broker doesn’t want to pay layover and detention then the driver gets nothing! Company does not want drivers using certain toll roads even though paid mileage is calculated using them. Even if you call dispatch and follow recommended route they will not adjust the paid mileage. When you spend the night at the Chicago Heights terminal expect to be waken up and asked to move your truck several times. The terminal is so small that trucks are stacked 3 deep. Trailer parking is extremely tight! I have over 10 years experience and consider myself to be above average. I stayed here almost a year and never made mileage bonus. I completely believe it just depends on your dispatcher. Good luck drivers! 

If you like to run 3,000+ miles per week with a 34 every weekend, this company is for you. 90% Midwest runs to east coast. No major city driving. 80% brokered, live load/unload. Dispatchers are overseas but super good at their job. Mine kept me moving with little down time. This company works with the same brokers who’s shipper/receiver load/unload pretty quick. On average, I would sit at customer for 1-2 hours max. But they do pay detention after 2 hours. Pets allowed with ZERO deposit. Driver relations is top notch and will always work with you if you have any issues. Equipment is nice, 2020+ Peterbilt 579, with mini fridge & inverter. .60 cpm base + .10 cpm if you do 11,500 or more miles per month.  

HMD Trucking is, not a bad place to work honestly, it makes some of the other trucking jobs I’ve had look bad, they do take care of the drivers for the most part and let you do your own thing so long as your staying safe, legal and getting your loads delivered on time. They got me in a Peterbilt that’s very nice, They get me home every weekend and I don’t have to leave until Sunday night most weekends. I get a lot more time home then most other trucking jobs while still getting paid a decent amount, my dispatcher has always been good to me, there’s a real sense of purpose here.

This doesn't feel like work when I am here , instead it feels like a 2nd home due to the family style feel while still remaining a workplace. They pride themselves in their people and how they treat them and it shows daily in how they work and how they respond to everyday issues and handling said issues. Drivers get great miles for great pay here and they even get newer trucks as well to keep them rolling. The benefits are fantastic and affordable and the perks of the job are plentiful here.

ILove working at HMD I make good money and my dispatcher is really easy to work with! Seems like there is always so much going on these days but they do a GREAT job of working with you on schedules. Do not get me wrong u have to work to make good money but they r understanding of the importance of family. They r buying more and more new trucks so the fleet is improving too. Hope this helps someone looking for a good job with a family oriented company!!!

1800 miles a week average
no detention pay
no breakdown pay
old wore out peterbilt 579 with a laundry list of issues
shop argues with you, doesn't believe you when you tell them about issues with the truck
dispatch lies about appointment times, makes you sit on a load but doesn't pay you for it
company chooses to spend their profits on vanity projects and expensive toys instead of paying their drivers, then complains about the market and driver turnover

only work here if you don't have other options

One of the best companies to work for. Top pay and get you the miles that you want. They've always got me home on time and got me
home a couple times for emergencies. Dispatch always answer the phone when you need them and get the job done. They have the best trucks in trucking and dispatcher so if you looking for otr job HMD is the place to be. THANK YOU. MUCH LOVE FOR H.M.D
