IWX Motor Freight

There are good and bad at all companies.  They are very supportive.  No forced dispatch.  Most of the people are really, really nice, a few need some interpersonal skills training.  Dispatch will get you where you want to be.  The trucks are older, but excellent maintenance of the equipment.   All no touch freight.  The downsides are a few.  The endless waiting for a load at a produce house even though you have an appointment.   The expectation that once you have the load you will hustle it to the destination.  The issue is that you may have been loaded at 1:00am after waiting 4 hours (awake) and now have to drive will 1:00pm, when the day before it was the exact opposite.  So you need to be a person that can sleep anytime and stay awake at anytime.  Detention pay is at the will of dispatch.  There is no set time/money.  If they give it to you, it is substantial.   Many people and drivers have been there a long time.  Overall I am sorry I needed to leave for personal issues.  Would have stayed.

West Coast drivers sit SO much at produce sheds that it makes the pay per mile not worth it because you never know for sure if you are going to get detention pay or not.  Teams make so much more money.. Even just the relay drivers. The Kingman shop was kinda pointless. Would sit for an hour just waiting to get in and out of the inbound inspection bay-every single time. Usually just one person working while the others are standing around smoking or chatting. The people in springfield and Edinburgh made me feel like i was part of a company "family". There are a ton of good people there and I still like to call them up to say hi. The equipment is usually well taken care of. Downtime on the road due to breakdowns is very limited. I've never seen shops that were well taken care of like IWX shops. They keep them clean. Each terminal always has clean showers and other facilities.

One thing I hate about this company. You spend your career working hard. Millions of safe miles but if you have extended medical reason for being off you lose your full time status.. .. people work hard for their scineority. Shouldn't lose anything over legit medical.. status should be protected or frozen.

I have worked here for almost 6 months now. I am very happy working for this company, home time for me is a big plus, there is no forced dispatch and makes it easy to schedule events and appointments in ur life. Money is good and it pays the bills plus.
This company makes you part of their family. If you have an issue they will listen no matter how small the issue is. This company really takes good care of their drivers. U r not just a number to them u r a real person. Over all this is the best company I have ever worked for.

Started out good . Brand new truck .70cpm (.59+.11 per diem ) Was home biweekly . 2800-3100 mi week. Now not getting home time .Stsying out over 30 days at a time. Would be ok if I could get miles. When you stay out that long and can’t even get 2 k mi a week . Is it worth it ? Nobody knows you, feel invisible . No communication with disp. Micro managed. Other employees here have told me the staff is so salty because they’re afraid of losing their jobs due to a complete take over by WFX.
