JM Bozeman Enterprises INC

Excellent company to work for in most areas.  They give the appearance of caring about the drivers but if you have any issues, its nearly impossible to get anyone's attention who will do anything to help.  It seemed to be too many drivers and too few dispatchers.  I wanted to take two days off every other week.  I discussed this with the recruiter from the start.  I would run very good miles, sometimes as much as 4000 the first week and then spend Tuesday and Wednesday sitting in a truckstop parking lot for a reset, get home Thursday night or Friday morning and take two more days off and then start another week the same way.  I tried to get someone to help me just get home for the off time when my hours ran out instead of doing the reset just before going home each time but no really paid any attention.
Other than that problem it was great.  Almost always had a load waiting before I was empty.  Shop workers were excellent.  Also, they claim to have a 95% drop and hook rate.  I averaged all my trip paperwork to be just slightly above 50%.  Also, when I left, the did pay every cent they owed to me.  That says a lot about a company.

Bozeman was a solid company to work for. Overall my experience was positive and I would recommend anyone willing to stay at for roughly 2 weeks at a time to consider working there. Some issues in dispatch as most trucking companies have at some point or another. Compensation was a little low per mile, but with an active dispatcher the miles were there. More drop and hooks than live loads. Clientele consists of reputable large LTL carriers for the most part and that produces some nice long runs. Benefits are extremely expensive which seems to be the norm these days. Would still be there if not for personal indifferences with dispatch. With the right person in dispatch this could be one of the best experiences in trucking.

My DM was good to work with. The pay is good. The folks in the office are extremely friendly!! Did have issues with truck more than once. Had to stay in a motel for a week while truck was in shop. Another time truck went down and I was 3 hours from home. But they got me a ride home and back out after the truck was ready. I left because my wife and daughter wanted me to be home. If I were to go back OTR I would definitely consider JM Bozeman!!! Safety is extremely nice. If you mess up you are going to get called out on it. But that’s only because they want you to be safe out there. Not just with the public but mostly for you!!! These folks really care!!

It appears that the operations department tells the driver when to do a restart. Even if the driver picks up significant hours in the next 48 hours. The operation department talks down to the drivers. They talk to you as though you don't deserve to drive a Bozeman Truck or haul Bozeman freight. They will misdispatch a driver and then blame the driver when the load is late. They have no respect or appreciation for drivers. There is no such thing as a good driver at this company. In 4 months I have not had 1 official day off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone is friendly and they always accommodate any need I may have had. As soon as I get my household under control I will be going back to work for them. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some of the delivery times run very close on your hours and being fed-ex it can’t be late at all. But that is trucking in general, not a Bozeman only issue.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

My experience with this company is that they are just smoke and mirrors full of lies and deception . I was not pleased with this company at all . They have a good-ole boy system and unless you are in the click your not going to succeed at this company so my recommendation is steering clear of them bottom line … home time is very slim and they will run you in the ground because the product is more important to them than your safety and well being ….

We drive team for JM Bozeman. All our issues have always been addressed in a timely fashion. No company is perfect, but this one comes close. We have flexibility to run the times we prefer. We stay out 6 weeks and go home for 2 weeks. Most runs are drop and hook and dedicated. We choose to not be on a dedicated lane. Everybody, shop and office is nice. They don't treat you like a number, I believe that if you act like an adult they will treat you like one.
