Truth from a good driver and worker. The people that don't make it here don't make it anywhere. I read reviews that say the equipment is old and you sit for days between jobs and that couldn't be more untrue. I have been nothing but busy and the contracts are solid work flow. They don't let the trucks get older then 500,000 miles. Even those trucks are clean and run good. Plenty of mechanics in multiple terminals to help if needed. They detail the trucks before handing the keys over which is a plus. There are APUs and refrigerator and Satellite TV with HBO and Cinemax on the trucks. Weight pass and toll pass and they supply a Truck GPS. You can choose from manual or automatic. $20 an hour detention pay and immediate $100 per day for layover and breakdown. But I rarely see any day where I'm not constantly running. You can take home $1,000 after taxes every week here. It's not a high dollar company but it's not low either. Me personally I feel it's worth the pay to run the hours I choose to run and the comfort in the truck is great. The loads are usually light loads and don't have to constantly check weight and worry about moving tandems. Watching all the trucks going into the weight station or inspection site while my screen says "BI-PASS" is a time saver and time is money. As long as I get to my load on time and don't add a crazy amount of miles they don't complain if I take an alternative route. Also a big plus is we get to use personal convenience exemption. If you don't know what that means it means I can drop my trailer at a truck stop that allows it and run to Walmart or to a restaurant without turning my clock on. They allow it everyday for up to 20 miles. Like I said it's as comfortable as you can be in this trade. APU, Satellite, Weight pass, toll pass, light loads, regular shippers to get familiar with and a great set of office people.

I can't help but love MY company. MY recruiter was able to answer every one of my questions before I decided to work here. He called the company i came from ( starts with a C and ends with a T) a puppy mill, lol. Which was very true, they was popping us out so fast only a few teachers learned my name, but thats a review for another time. When I made it to Grand forks, ND I couldn't help but to think MY recruiter just rolled out the red carpet for me, Then the carpet kept going. Orientation was one on one, so you can ask as many or as little questions as you wanted and then they give you a binder with all the answers to whatever questions you might come up with afterwards. The equipment is 2 yrs old or newer and yes I had breakdowns, but what truck never broke down? They are decked out with satellite TV, real beds, refrigerator, inverter, and APU. They pay you for everything, breakdowns, detention, layover, vacation and probably 1 or 2 more things I can't think of right now. Yes if you bump the truck into something they will take it out of your pay, but it's not coming out of your paycheck, it comes out of your quarterly bones. This job couldn't be less stressful and I can't help but wake up in a good mood every morning, Even on the rough days.

This is a great company that understands that a professional driver is not just a number behind the steering wheel. The driver is a person and they treat you as such. One of the first parts of the hiring process is a tour of the office and an introduction to everyone so you and they have a face to go with the name.
This is one of the better places I have ever worked and I am happy to be here.
However, as with all truck driving jobs, the more you drive, the more money you make. It's up to you to balance you work and home life. Which is another aspect because they understand that and do their best to get you home when you want to be there.

I Woke up to doing the same process over and over. I managed to learn the responsibilities of organizing and documenting paper work, and also how to organize the inside of a freight trailer. The management was my father and treated me like a normal human being and a employee nothing different. I was the only co- worker under my fathers company. The hardest part was dealing with rough tasks that took long anchormen ts of time. And i enjoyed every moment i could on viewing the Forty- Nine other state around my career at the time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people  are helpful. A close group that help find solutions to any issues.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being short staff has proven a challenge but they do give you resources to accomplish your goals.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, helpful, really down to earth.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy but productive. 7am to 5pm. Time goes by quickly.

In the beginning the pay was GREAT for what we had to do, we are talking 6k-8k every month, then the pay cuts started, now it was a STRUGGLE just to make 4k a month that is about 40% of a pay cut over the course of 6 months.  When I left the pay was going to continue to spiral downwards. With exceptions to the Owner, all other managers and employees made it a joy to come to work and put the time in.

I love this company for its culture. The administration has earned great contracts to keep drivers moving, and making money. The dispatchers are flexible to work with drivers based on their preferences of route running and home time. The office staff provides great support to make sure everyone is safe and to keep things running smooth. Overall great company with balance of working hard and having fun. 

The owners now, are the children of the people who started the company. The brothers are very well insulated and prefer not to know what is actually going on in the company. The recruiter will tell you what ever he needs to to get you through the door. The equipment is falling apart, the trailers are old and outdated, you'll never get home and you'll sit for days sometimes between loads. You've been warned.

The company is a decent company to work for. However, if you step on a terminal managers toes they will retaliate. The company is worth driving for as long as your home terminal isn't the Anniston Terminal. Terminal Manager there is horrible and will treat you badly if you call him out on his own mistakes when it comes to your safety out on the road.
