Smith Trucking

Best trucking company.

You should not charge drivers for trying to save your money, making drivers go way out of the way and spend more money out of your pocket for fuel cost and not take the toll roads, which would save your company money. YOU tell drivers if they take toll roads you make them pay for being out of route. It would be faster to take toll roads getting drivers to the destination faster and on time. Then they can get ready for the next load. Driver depend on loads the more loads they get the better their pay is. Not how many miles in a week for one load. Drivers want more that 2 loads a week. You should change this aspect of your business. Also the ping system You charge Driver if they dont do the ping system get get a fine. Drivers should not have to stop and mandate your truck for destination verification. Drivers can't always stop on the side of the highway or roads for miles as not all roads have a shoulder to pull over or any close destination to pull into. I have traveled all over USA. I have Lived in 5 different states and know all the hwys and roads in each. And there are several roads with no shoulders or close destinations to pull into. You are the only company that does this. Driver be aware of these concerns before you sign onto SMITH. To many rules makes me wonder how knowledgeable you are about the trucking industry and for the drivers.

I've heard from many others these guys are great. I MAY be moving on from a good company but I always try to move up never backwards when I make any moves. If I do move on I WILL be coming here. I have over 30 years experience OTR and know a good company when I hear so many current and former employees saying good things. My negative experiences was after I gave them permission to reach out to Schuster Company while still working at Schuster, Smith gavee a verbal promise of employment then Schuster terminated me on fabricated information. Than Smith DIDN'T hire me. I'm guessing they are buddies. But it was a blessing in disguise because I'm employed with a local company, where I live, making more money and home 2 days after each 3 day trip. 😁

I worked for Smith from 2014 to 2019... 2014 - 2017 as an OTR driver teamed with my wife and 2017 - 2019 in the office... been driving since 2004 OTR. Absolutely the best company I've drove for, no doubt. They also gave me the opportunity to learn behind the scenes work which I still do elsewhere. I'm from South Carolina and if it wasn't for that fact, I'd still be there, I'm sure. If my wife and I ever go back trucking, it will be with them. Great equipment, great family, great office staff, and great shop staff... not only that but you'll be running good loads, making good money, and look good doing it. I highly recommend working for this company. Are they perfect, no one is, but they're pretty close.

I work here, best truck driving job I have ever had!

Had one of their drivers hit us and it's impossible to contact this company. They never answer and you leave a message nothing

Great place to work for, I worked for one of the big name companies for 12 1/2 yrs, I finally made the move after procrastinating for 2 yrs about coming over, wished I hadn't waited so long, this is a great company, there an extremely friendly company to work for and great pay and Benefits.

We used their services a few times almost always late, bad management, would not recommend.

I just started working here 5/10/22 I’m so please I made the move, great people and great equipment they maintain it very well , every time you come to the yard , your truck will be headed to the shop to be lube and check .. I’m spoiled here , I was so burned out by big companies that I did debate on coming here for over 2 years… Am glad I did .. First time I ever have a truck that was given a choice K W or Cascadia . I took K W nice ride smooth..

Super great people to work with, good pay and really a family feeling, awesome equipment ALWAYS maintained ,they put the drivers first , i came to Smith with such a bad attitude towards trucking after working for mega carriers , now i love my job again

Been with Smith for over 11 years and last year when I left to try another opportunity with a friend I knew after 2 months that it was a mistake. Not that my friend did anything wrong,so after a month of thinking and a lot of praying I realized that I just missed Smith. The Smith family and staff treated me well and I liked Worthington its like a 2nd home being from Arizona. Also Mike Phil and Pat helped me and encouraged me to become an owner operator about 6 years ago. I know that Smith isn't right for everyone but if you do your job and get to your destination on time. There's pretty much nothing that they would do for you. I got my CDL in 1985 its taken me a while to find a Great place to work. I'm in truck 529 come talk with me. I'll give you my honest opinion.

Sorry lowdown company my mom passed away with cancer while I was working for smith and I decided I couldn't deal with otr after that and when I decided I was ready to go back to work they told me I was a no rehire if they didn't believe me I could of provided my mom's death certificate I always stayed out 6-8 weeks at a time with a perfect driving record and never late with loads isnt good enough for them I sure hope they don't think it's funny because it's not

I’m pretty sure you guys don’t condone your drivers doing 70 in a 55 in California you need to have a chat with the driver in truck 3336 blew by me doing at least 70 in Newberry Springs on I 40 west

Smith is the place to work as a professional truck driver.

Great people and place to work, have openings you will talk directly with one of the owners.

Long hours when busy. Management treats you very well. Work with your schedule as long as notice is give. Pay is great for what the job requires. . Insurance benefits are good and company Match for 401k is mediocre at best

I was told I would receive guaranteed pay and a fairly dedicated route. Next thing you know it’s all short haul and not paying minimum. A vast majority of the office is related so be careful.

Well when I started out here it was great, great pay, great loads, after a year or so it went down hill as to the people that work in the office. Couldnt get help with the things i needed to take care of in my personal live, but I can say that some of the poelpe their will help and some won't. The hardest part of the job is dealing with people in the office or in the shop that think they know how you should drive or run your clock when your the driver. Can't say there's a enjoyable moment it almost like you have to walk on eggs shells or let everyone know what going on in your personal life to keep them satisfied or keep your job.

Smith trucking is not a good place to work! The culture at this company is toxic. The management is inconsistent and incompetent. At Smith the productive employees aren’t valued and are overworked to compensate for those that don’t work. A lot of the staff lack real skill and ability. This company cuts every corner imaginable, and has extremely shady business practices.

Just need to do better with planning loads for drivers who live in certain areas of the state. The job is stressful with not knowing when you will have a load or not have a load.

Shady. Shady is the word that best describes management and employees there. They are of a certain type of personality and they don't like change or adversity. Immature goons that are grown men who work, talk, and act like 5 year olds. They're not there for your best interest as it's very easy to surpass them. Literally no education is needed to do any of their jobs and that is a double edged sword. Proceed with caution when you're there.
