JH Walker Trucking

Well first things first if you can survive off 730-890 a week as a company driver this isn’t a bad option. They mostly will have you home every single day. Early mornings and early delivery the next day usually maybe another pickup. All oilfield equipment mostly a lot of pipe loads. Which are easy. No tarping really, do have lowboy loads and tankers and hazmat as well if you get the opportunity which I don’t stay long enough too find out because of pay. The hours are good
Mostly, you might have a long Otr run randomly like they sent me too Minnesota randomly in the week but wasn’t a bad load and paid decent. Problem was they didn’t have the freight too get me back home in a timely fashion. You are paid a percentage of the load, so no load no money. So sitting and waiting for a load you aren’t being paid. Which I can’t deal with. I needed consistency. I will say the owner ops I talked too there seem happy. But for company drivers, I wouldn’t suggest it. Some dispatchers are rude and will try too make you bend too there will. Which isn’t right. Some are decent. The hr department is good and friendly. As well as the mechanics and safety. As a company driver you will not get a nice truck out of the gate. It will be an old dirty truck. But plus side they top out at 75 which was nice. Overall if pay was better. I would go back. Just not enough freight of consistency.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They really work with your schedule 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's Hot Shot. When it rains there's scarce work 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At the Dallas location, the culture was always positive. The Operations Manager has a great attitude and always tried to find solutions.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start early in the morning and go from there. On the Hot Shot side it's very random, so just be available and if you have something you gotta do, work with them in advance.

This pertains to the Oklahoma city contractors that are leased on to JH walker. I'm sure JH Walker it's self is a good company to work for.  It's kind of mind boggling at first cause you have to get your own llc.  I got my llc then I was leased to a truck that was leased to JH Walker thought that was strange but anywho. The dispatch said we was busy but we was not sit home for couple days not hearing from anyone.  Had some nice equipment (the 1 tons) stay away for their semis. They talk a good game put don't produce.  And they will charge you for every dent dig and board even if you didn't do it.  It's a family run racket out of okc.    This is just my fair warning to future drivers 

Work is fairly easy when we work. I look forward to working daily.  Dispatch is cool
 Very easy to talk to and communicate with,  very friendly.  Down side is the pay. The work load and pay. I sit at home about 2 weeks out of a month. And the pay is not what they say. I would have put up with the uncertain pay if the work load was right but, it's not.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits and the safety environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Just the driving can be very hard at times. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Both are very good and both help with my growth as a driver. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just getting up early and working 8+ hours a day.

Alot of grey areas when it comes to work. Things you cant do, they let u do. No real Breaks. Never see the money you actually make per load. Unorganized. Between the months of November-March is the slow season, and you can be making $200 a week as a driver because it’s no work. Will not let you move up. And the benefits are expensive. Flexible schedules though due to not knowing when or where your next load will come from.

First in first out, decent loads and pay
From what I understand, they have gone to automatic transmissions, so 100% of you shouldn't have a problem with those trucks.
Pay day is every two weeks, and they do have direct deposit.

As far as office staff, all I knew had no complaints

Don’t pay enough. They lie about your pay. No benefits. The dispatchers suck. They don’t have enough work, they don’t pay you 25% straight up the have some complicated math. They take whatever they can get away with from your paycheck.

They are all liars... A typical day at work is stressfully because the instructions are not always clear you just have to figure it out some times.... 

They are all liars... A typical day at work is stressfully because the instructions are not always clear you just have to figure it out some times.... work is mostly on call, they don’t pay for detention or empty miles. So, Only 25% out of the loads is not enough
