Nova Lines Inc

This has been 1 of the worst experiences in the last 9 months with Nova lines. As most of us know how lease purchase works this one is the worst at 1st they dress it up all nice but are really just snakes. It's an 80/20 split but they put everything into that 20%
Fuel surcharge, Permits and minupulating rate conformation. for loads you name it it's in that 20% not to mention micro management from safety. Once you peel all that back there's nothing left. I came onboard with 6months savings and have blown through all that. Fortunately I have something lined up and I will be running as far form nova lines as possible.  My best advice is don't do it buy your own truck or stay company untill you can.

All new equipment'20,'21 automatics, new trailers and great pay! Lease purchase or contract driver. You set your home schedule. Management is always a phone call away. Quick to work out problems on the road no matter what time or where. Truck driving is a culture unto itself and a way of life so much so that if you're in it to win it, this company will help you out. The hardest part is being away from family and the best part is getting things done and getting that load home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really they can’t get decent paying freight bad safety ratings.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You buy your own tarps ,straps ,bungees. Getting repairs the driver doesn’t make any decisions .It’s basically a glorified company job with no benefits.No body here ends up with the truck .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They act nice till they are done with you .

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work but I like flat bedding .

Do Not waste your time with the lease purchase deal. It is just like all the rest. They say you can make $9000 a week. What they mean is if you don't make at least $9000 a week you will not get paid and end up owing the company money. You pay for everything and I mean everything after they take 20% off the top you are left paying for all truck expenses and fuel. This is a no win situation for the driver. Take my advice and stay away from this company and any other lease purchase deal 

This company is awesome I'm not just one to brag on companies especially being a newbie I've been a owner operator for 4 years with my own truck it broke down and now I'm doing a lease with these excellent people at Nova having a few bumps in the road they have stood behind me 110% could not have came to a better carrier thank you Nova Truck Lines

What is the best part of working at the company?
You choose your truck. They have showers, and laundry room. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
they tell you that the truck and trailer are yours so you have to pay 4100 every week. You take nothing,   Obviously a scam

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a very pleasant environment, everyone is friendly and nice to you

The company is ok, they call u every week to go over your pay Settlement I really like that,also if u don't like working with ur dispatch just ask and they give u a new one, I don't like that they only give u 8 foot tarp, also if the equipment that they give u during orientation is not up to u standards they will not change it, , my biggest issue is is the dispatcher take to many vacations 5 days

I've been driving for them for a bit now and though their equipment is good be weary of the dispatchers they assign you. They have their great dispatchers but they also have rookies that will run you into the ground if you let them. Also keep an eye on your settlement and make sure everything is correct. It's not that they come off as shady but they have made mistakes. 

Company is ok. Any break downs or just life happens and you a screwed. Very easy to get in abig financial hole. The day is 80/20 split with driver getting 80 but that's so far off of the case

Great money to be made, and very safety minded company. for thoes willing to work, it's amazing. if your expecting a handout then you should probably move along.  when leasing a truck, you have to keep in mind that your truck expenses come out before you make money.  that's my biggest tip.
