Was a great company 2 years ago in 2022.. was absolutely the best.. fast forward to now, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone without letting them know about the horrible new pay structure.. No one wants to drive numerous amounts of miles and not know exactly how much the run paid.. when I was hired it was at 77cpm 5 months later .70 cpm 3 months later .65 cpm.. and the last straw was when they started a totally different way . Which took my weekly pay from $2000 to $1200 a week. . And the sad part is that they offered me .60cpm and told me i wouldn't find a higher cpm pay anywhere else.. yea right ..There  was No way will I drive across the country leaving my family behind for that small amount of money.  With a company now that only runs Midwest, southeast and northeast.  While making the money that I deserve ..

Ok, the pay is performance based 55/65 cent per-mile 0-2799/2800+. Also 1099, so you pay the taxes, no benefits, responsible for late fees w/receivers & shippers, and any damage done by you on the truck. They are nerve racking with their attitudes, not answering the phone, and just doing things on their time, but they get you the miles, they get repairs done if needed, and you can make 5k a month easy with decent home time. You can also take the truck home. Some equipment is fairly new, others are in bad shape, but they’ll get it fixed if you let them know. The bottom line is that you can make great money over here or you can do ok over here, it really depends on how you decide to run. You do need some tough skin because they can be hard to deal with, but no matter how bad you and your dispatcher get into it you’ll probably get those it miles regardless.

STAY AWAY!! BEWARE!! They are thieves!! If you can go elsewhere, do it. Where do I start, your checks aren’t always on time so dont get your hopes up. They say you make $2k/$3k a week!! WRONG! I barely got $1000 a week. You wont get your first check for 2 weeks. There’s a 2 way camera in the truck. Truck governed at 64 mph.

They take out $100 a check for escrow, $150 a month for insurance. And lord behold your load tips over or you get a flat tire, that money comes out of your paycheck. If you decide to leave the company, just know you wont get your escrow back. They come up with fictitious claims and charge you for it. Dispatch never answers the phone when you need them.  

You’re just another number to them, hence why they lose so many drivers. They dont respect you at all. The company is unprofessional. Dont waste your time like I did.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I can't think of anything good about working for this company, above average equipment. Dispatchers and managers were not very helpful when problems arose. I was only dispatched to the east and west driving lanes.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of communication. they would dispatch me on a load that couldn't be done legally. You are expected to run with two logs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Deliver the load on time, safety wasn't a priority.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long days and restless nights. And no phone communication with dispatchers, especially on the weekend.

After roughly 7 months here the pay fluctuations are frustrating.
Some due to equipment that needs repairs. Some is waiting on a truck.
Some trucks are new all I've driven have some miles on them.
Dispatch is polite as are the other support staff.
Rare to get to take the truck home so lots of lost time flying then waiting for a truck as each hometime you have to clean the truck out. When you come back it's days to get another truck in my experience. 
7 months pay running a month out 1 week off was $55,000.
If you get tickets the company will charge you $400 which comes out of your escrow. 




I just started my 5th year with MGL and there's a simple reason; they take care of their drivers. 
What I appreciate  about the company is that there always have work for us drivers, and they are there for us as a company. Trucks are maintenance the dispatchers are great at keeping you loaded. 
At the end of the day we work together to get the job done!
This company understands what truck drivers need. Need miles? No problem. Need home time? No problem. From the recruiters to the dispatchers, MGL provides exceptional and genuine service to its drivers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good driver managers they keep you busy driving no much paperwork required and let you pickup your route and fuel stops 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They are little behind on equipment, trucks are no in very good condition so make sure yours is good to go before leaving

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Staff is very friendly shop is pushing hard to have trucks ready but no problem if you wanna go to a speedco to have your truck work done

I told them I needed a week off to get a loan so I can repair my truck so I could bring my truck on with them as an owner operator. When things didn't turn out the way I wanted them, I need it maybe one or two more days. By then a pay. Pass by and they do not like to pay you your check if you are not under a load. You will have a hard time reaching them. They are bums

Everyone int he office including the head manager are all friendly, dispatchers are all good but you need to tell them what you are willing to work ahead of time, overall this company is for whoever wants to make good money fast, if your a lazy driver that wants to run 400 miles a day or less don't even bother you will not survive the aggressive nature of this dispatchers (meaning, they love to hit you with 4k miles a week), if your a hustler, then this is it.

I been with MGL for 2 years already. What I love about the company is that there always have work for us drivers, and they are there for us as a company. The dispatch is always there when you need them at any time, the recruiters will take care of you as you may need rides or hotels,  
 Mgl is a company I can call home and a family! At the end of the day we work together to get the job done!
