Hope you like being stranded if so Henderson is for you in the winter your truck automatically turns off in 3 minutes literally everything and no it will not auto recrank when the battery gets low it just beeps and screws up and turns off everything from your fridge to your tv so you cant crank it to heat up the engine and get juice flowing for a bit they just turn it off the back heat does not work i made a complaint they did not care so here you are freezing unable to run your truck and henderson is now turning off your fridge your ports and everything else to save electricity then they had the balls to send a message saying make sure to run your truck for a bit so we dont have to come and save you by jumping you off so i called and asked how the heck do i leave it running and they said i cant i reffered to the message and they just kinda said (Well you cant do that and we dont have anything up here we can do to leave your truck running not even for an hour so you will be a very cold very sad company driver who gets almost no miles those weeks and do not expect fair pay for all that waiting and suffering your better off getting a job at the truck stop your stuck at

The most difficult thing about working for Henderson is getting by the "Good Ole Boys Club" in upper management. I think that too much time is spent stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime. Retaining drivers should be a top priority in a trucking company. This company keeps trying to fill a bucket full of holes. When they joined Prime Inc.'s Advance Fleet, there was not a lot of thought process into how it would affect their drivers ability to make a living. Almost a third of the office staff was sent packing, some had been loyal employees for years. Prior to the change, the drivers were doing pretty good miles. After the change, the mileage tanked. They tried raising the pay scales, but the damage was already done. Their turnover went from about 75% to over 180%. Focus was put on filling the trucks left empty. Standards where ignored, fill the trucks was the battle cry. Nevermind that when 5 trucks were filled, 8 would quit because they couldn't make any money. Too many big egos not willing to admit that there is a problem. Recruiting Department became the scapegoat and every finger pointed that direction. Operations hid behind their desk and watched the carnage.

Good place to get a CDL, when they had a school a few years back... Mostly good for beginners. Dispatch is sometimes hard to get communication out of. They state they're big on communication, but if you stay there long enough, you'll know thats a lie. 

I've found myself doing most of the dispatchers job. Such as calling the customer to get a reschedule, or finding more information. Dispatch prefers to email... I prefer a phone call; It's quicker. 
Some people in certain departments have a major attitude problem. But you're a driver, you deal with it. You're just a money making dog to them. They're cheap on repairing anything, including a trailer that has a brake problem. They tell you to take it to a place; (A typical truck stop shop) Only they'll tell them to not worry about it if the shop can not fix the problem there the same day. If you're close to the terminal (if you're lucky) they'll have you bring it to them. Hope you don't have a load on it, because it'll be awhile. 
Miles are here and there.. Don't expect layover pay or detention on dry van side. They'll even edit your hours so they can get a delivery done, and usually their planning sucks. Pick up and deliveries are already late when they send you the info... No, they won't change it... But they'll say they did, but the customer has no idea.

I have been put on 2 loads that are torture...I have communicated time and time again about delays in service due to mechanical issues on equipment and customer delays but am still expected to deliver on time...that is very unsafe because now the driver is pulling their hair out trying to ensure the company dont lose another customer due to excessively poor planning...not having trucks staged in the correct areas where the freight is and depending too too much on one market to keep the company afloat i.e. Colorado

This company is not concentrating on gaining their own customers but they do depend way too much on brokers in the areas we operate as we have been promised new customers but have yet to see any of them...i save all emails telling this to the drivers and yeah...not one of our trucks sees the new freight...we are expected as company drivers to run the trash freight that is always late for pickup with NO ROOM for flexibilty to ensure we can safely and legally get that freight delivered ON TIME to ensure a customer being satisfied with our product and our drivers.

Gave it a try and found out the hard way that lease purchase programs rarely, if they ever, benefit the driver. I couldn’t keep up with the bills at home working for this company and there was a lack of driver to dispatcher communication from the jump. You’re better off working for a company running at the lowest CPM rate than leasing a truck that will take you close to a decade to own, on top of the balloon payment they require you to pay before you can own the truck, which will already be very old and run down if you ever get there. Just stop and think about this before you sign a contract that will obligate you to pay a termination fees, when they say it’s a “walk away lease.” There’s a reason they don’t do credit checks, they’re looking for people who don’t have a good financial stance that will jump at the chance to be their own “Boss” and sell you a dream. 

A typical work day at tracker consist of your labor being stolen because you won't be compensated at the end of the week.

What I believe I learned at Trekker is that sharecropping schemes are still alive and well.

Management. Management is simply aiding and abetting and this sharecropping scheme.

Workplace culture. Workplace culture consists of your labor being stolen and pulling their loads for free up and down interstate all day.

The hardest part of the job? The hardest part of the job is opening your weekly settlement to find that you have worked 7 days and not been paid at all.

The most enjoyable part of the job? The most enjoyable part of the job is when you can finally tell these people you quit and move on.

A typical day involves DOT inspections, minor troubleshooting, oil and grease jobs, brake jobs and electronics installations. I learned my way around Freightliner Cascadias and got exposure to fleet maintenance. The technicians and foremen are helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Management considers the shop nothing more than a necessary evil to keep maintenance costs down. The attitude is "if you don't like it, there's the door." The company is biased toward the employees working in logistics and driving the trucks. Morale is very low in the shop. The hardest part of the job is not having the supplies necessary to effect repairs. The most enjoyable part of the job has been the interaction with the other technicians.

A typical day of work includes swapping at least one load from a solo to a team truck, because the load planners do not know how to read the whereabouts of the team trucks and get them loaded. When the safety director tells employees that the company treats the employees as "family", he must have been meaning unwanted, red-headed step children as the "family", as we were basically treated as outcasts for the most part. This company will lie, cheat, and finagle their way into your life, and then make sure you lose everything that you have if you attempt to lease a truck with them. My final word is GO SOMEWHERE ELSE to work! BEWARE!!

This company will promise you one thing and decrease your pay the moment you start. They change your schedule at a moments notice and pay the women thousands of dollars less for the same job. There is no diversity at all, only white people working in the office. They encourage a very tense and gossip filled atmosphere where you have to constantly watch your back. 

I have talked to current workers over the last few years and the place has not changed at all. The amount of stress and the way they hold back women and minorities is disgusting.

Women do not last long in this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no best, truck looked nice but check engine light stayed on and dispatch made all the money, ii went 2 weeks with no pay check and when I decided to leave I owed them $400  that's after running week to Colorado 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cheap runs where the only person made money was the company 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No culmination and alot of lies

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful,  don't want to send rate cons so you will know what the load is paying then when you get check, you have no check.
