HMD Trucking

Very good company. If I want to go home, I get to go home. If I get sick and can't drive, I'm not pressured. Pay is always right, bonuses aren't impossible. New Peterbilts with fridges. 2k to 3k miles every week. And they allow pets! (FYI I was grandfathered in, they have limits now) I'll let you know this is a real review by giving you the bad. The yard sucks. 1 usable shower, 1 toilet, you pay for laundry and the yard itself is tiny. Stay on the road. I've been here for over a year and have no plans to leave. *edit I forgot to mention the shop is a nightmare to deal with. So there's that.

Great place to work honestly. I've been here almost a year and everything is awesome. Good equipment steady miles some weeks are better than others but that's trucking. What I was told while being recruited is actually what happens here and I gotta tell you I've been out here 15 years and worked for quite a few companies and it's very strange for a company to actually carry through on what they promise but this company does.

I can confidently say that this company is one of the best trucking companies out there. From the moment I joined the team, I was impressed with the professionalism and dedication of everyone involved in this business. Firstly, the management team at HMD Trucking is highly competent and efficient. They provide excellent support and guidance to all their drivers, ensuring that we have the necessary resources and equipment to get our jobs done. They are also highly responsive to any issues that may arise and work tirelessly to resolve them in a timely manner. Secondly, the fleet of trucks at HMD Trucking is top-notch. The trucks are well-maintained, reliable, and equipped with the latest technology and safety features. This ensures that we are able to transport our goods safely and efficiently, while also ensuring the safety of other road users. Finally, the work culture at HMD Trucking is simply amazing. The team is highly supportive, and there is a real sense of camaraderie among the drivers. Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand, and there is a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration. In conclusion, I highly recommend HMD Trucking to anyone looking for a reliable and professional trucking company. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that their drivers are well taken care of, and I feel proud to be a part of this amazing team!.

Been here for a month and it’s honestly been great. Great miles great communication… I even had an issue with the truck and it was fixed immediately… my reason for three stars was because I came here to team drive but my partner had no experience they still said they would hire her and made her drug screen do videos and all and then the last minute told her they wanted to see me drive for a month before they hire her smh… due to that she had to go with a different company and killed our plans and now I’m kind of stuck here but it has been great and hopefully it stays that way but recruiting department gets 2 for their lies hence the 3 stars lol

Man let's just start by saying I normally don't do this but I had share goodness with so much bad in today's world. I've been to prob 5or6 different companies and HMD is by far my best experience in delivering what they said they would. Huge shout out to my dispatchers Daniel and one week with Tommy. I never sat longer then 2 hrs, I always got home on my home time, I never had an issue with my check and I got the miles I wanted.. truck ran like a champ, trailers were almost new and I wasn't hounded for every little thing. There's no such thing as a perfect company but this was close to it. I'm writing this with sadness because I have to leave for family reasons beyond my control. But if you do right by them they will take care of you. They even got me a flight home and a way to the airport. Thats top tier in my book.

It’s a good company, consistent lot of miles which comes out to about $1,800 a week. The shop is good and so Is the equipment. Thank you guys! I am glad that your dispatcher/my friend advised you

Love this company. Best place I’ve ever worked. This is a family here. The shop is on point they work hard to keep us running. New equipment inverter APU refrigerator and CB. Dispatch is on point. Miles are here. Hometime when you need it, never any issues. The terminal is a little small but they do keep it nice and tidy. Showers bathrooms washer and dryer vending machines free coffee. We do have a loaner vehicle so if you’re here and you need to run in town to do some shopping you can.

Former Driver here. Beware of this company. If you have ANY other options for driving jobs I highly recommend you take them over this place. Their bonus is contingent on miles (11,500/month minimum) and a score on the netradyne system. Not your actual safely driven miles. In the 5 months I was here I got the bonus once. I was oushed to drive unsafe equipment (when I had my truck assigned the brakes were almost gone all around and was made to drive it from NC back to IL). And after I left yesterday they had 2 incidents I was told that werent my fault and to not worry about them, be marked as "at fault" and the company I had signed with refused to bring me on because of it. This place is a trap. If you come here they will ensure you will bot get another driving job.

Always kept me rolling. Dispatcher would take care of any needs I had. Just a phone call or message away. Trucks are kind of unique too. Everyone takes care of you in the shop too.

Is horrible. Have to complete 840 hours of training with only being paid 17 cpm . Dispatch will have you sit up to 16 hours sometimes and not even pay layover or anything

Just stay away from this company. It’s probably the worst company I ever worked for in my whole career. They are not paying drivers what they’re advertising.

Overall, HMD is a great company to work for! In the transportation industry, there are a lot of factors outside of a drivers as well as a companies control. 95% of the issues I've had on the road, at shippers and/or receivers, or just in general are all part of the job and not a reflection of the company. In my opinion HMD does a great job of maintaining their trucks. Since I've started HMD has always kept me moving and in 9 months I have not had to wait on my dispatcher to find my next load longer than maybe an hour, and I believe that only happened one time. All other times I have been dispatched my next load while I was still completing the one I was on. HMD has done a great job of accommodating my schedule when I requested time off, or requested to be in a certain city for an event that I wanted or needed to go to. When I have had mechanical issues with my vehicle HMD did a great job communicating with me a plan to get it taken care of and get me back on the road in a timely manner. Even when issues have came up after hours, HMD always had someone available to answer the phone and address the issue. When I first started, I found it impressive that before they re-issue a truck from one driver to another, they have it professionally detailed and ready for use. Overall, my experience with HMD has been great and I would highly recommend this company!

Gotta like chicago, nice trucks good pay almost always on time for home time, wash your truck at blue beacon once a month, fuel at pilot flying j, 401k after a year

1800 miles a week average no detention pay no breakdown pay old wore out peterbilt 579 with a laundry list of issues shop argues with you, doesn't believe you when you tell them about issues with the truck dispatch lies about appointment times, makes you sit on a load but doesn't pay you for it company chooses to spend their profits on vanity projects and expensive toys instead of paying their drivers, then complains about the market and driver turnover

HMD could be an amazing place to work for except for communication issues. They don't listen. They have driver advocate in place but doesn't do any good if they only hear one side of story. Or someone new steps in and doesn't know the history of situation and makes uninformed decisions.

What is the best part of working at the company? Timing, office, dispatching, Communication. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? I didn’t have any stress with this company What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Great, American-European culture What is a typical day like for you at the company? Great and Breathy and respectful

It’s a good company, consistent 2,000 miles which comes out to about 1,000 dollars a week. The shop is good and so Is the equipment. The only thing is this company is stingy with layovers and won’t pay them unless the broker does which leaves you without pay.

Pros, honest pay scale and good miles, great staff and always avaliable. Cons: they have alot of foreign people working from a call center and it's easy to have misunderstood or miscommunication on both ends

Nice equipment plenty of miles great dispatchers a nice owner they keep you moving. Great home time family oriented company. Great bonus structure and they allow you pets and riders.

They alter your past days logs to suit them. Wrote me up for misuse of PC. Then 10 days later made me use PC to complete the last 6.5t hours of a load for UPS. They give you great miles because it benefits them more that is the way everything is done

Here's a place that welcomes new employees. Your not just a body in a place of employment, your part of an ever growing family. Here you perform your hired as duties, and are recognized for your hard work. Definitely, a breath of fresh air. Thanks HMD, for allowing me to become one of yours.

If you like to run 3,000+ miles per week with a 34 every weekend, this company is for you. 90% Midwest runs to east coast. No major city driving. 80% brokered, live load/unload. Dispatchers are overseas but super good at their job. Mine kept me moving with little down time. This company works with the same brokers who’s shipper/receiver load/unload pretty quick. On average, I would sit at customer for 1-2 hours max. But they do pay detention after 2 hours. Pets allowed with ZERO deposit. Driver relations is top notch and will always work with you if you have any issues. Equipment is nice, 2020+ Peterbilt 579, with mini fridge & inverter. .60 cpm base + .10 cpm if you do 11,500 or more miles per month.

I did make money with hmd not a bad company just they lease purchase program is trash company side not to bad 60 cpm I learned alot there only way I'll go back is they change they lease program to percentage

It's not really easy being an CDL driver and I've worked for several companies in my 8 years driving. HMD is so different from any company I've ever worked for. Good money, easy to understand pay structure, great trucks that are kept in top working order, actual home time and above all a true work family. Mary the recruiter is a great I am making money and I am happy to be working with a great company like HMD Trucking

A good workplace to be everybody will help you, at any time. I have been working for HMD for a little over 2 years and I love it! They pay you extremely well, which is why they expect you to do extremely good work. My manager is a great guy and the rest of the drivers couldn’t be a cooler group of people. HMD rocks!!!
