Why Motor Express?

Why Motor Express?

Our 35-year accomplishments didn’t appear by sheer chance. It takes being proactive with purpose, ‘making careful adjustments to symbolize what is most meaningful to us,’ which is the people that inspire our brand: from our employees to our business partners like you. It’s intuitive in theory, tough in operation, hard work to manage, and highly efficient. Our brand tells a story of putting people first. We pledge to continue it that way through intentional transportation solutions with a purpose. AMX operates across all lower 48 with four offices across Alabama and Georgia. Today, the AMX brand is now composed of four different divisions: three transportation and the remaining one, our on-site CDL school. The White Family has grown alongside the expansion of the AMX brand through the years, helping AMX maintain a true family-like culture and people-first atmosphere.

Warning, Warning, Warning: If you like sitting 20 to 34 hrs a week and having to babysit AMX trailers when other drivers ignore dot violation issues AMX does not appreciate US Veterens either. Was called in for Random Drug Test. Owners Son took me to testing center and said he would wait. Came out of Center 30 minutes later and he was gone. Had to wait 2.5hrs after a dozen calls to anyone that would listen fo a ride back. He laughed when he said he went for lunch. Yeah, they really care about they're drivers, Not! You'll do yourself a favor by staying far away from this place. They do not value drivers what's so ever!

This is the first company that I’ve worked for where I felt that they genuinely care about their employees. I got that feeling on day one. The work atmosphere is welcoming and approachable. Everyone that I’ve met so far had at least a few years with the company. So, that in itself was a good sign. I love that this Is a family owned and operated business. I am a huge advocate for that. I enjoy waking up and going to work every day. I aspire to grow each and every day with this company and build my skillset. I am truly grateful to be apart of this team.

Decent Company To Work For , Pay is Depending on you , if you want to sit around don’t expect a decent pay check . I been here since 2021 and all companies have there own flaws Amx is home for me nothing bad to really say . If you like to run you’ll make money , they don’t hassle you , more freedom. Equipment is decent , like any other companies they can’t really control how well drivers treat the trucks , they do they best to keep you running , maintenance shop is ok at times , breakdowns over the road they will get someone out to you quick as possible. Benefits are decent . If you build a good relationship with your dispatcher and do as they ask you won’t have problems, any situation you have talk to your dispatcher with a good sense of humor they will take care of you . Nothing really bad to say about this company. Home time is there , you find what best for you , frieght is there . * Last note * if you don’t like to run , or reject loads this is not the company for you

I just started with AMX 3 weeks ago and I love it here. Everyone treats tou just like family (the good side of the family) LOL... Everything they say they do. I have been to several companies and NOT 1 have ever lived up to their word but AMX has so far. Update.... My entire facts have changed about this company. Not enough pay for OTR Dry Van drivers. As many miles as we drive we should get paid per mile and it should be the same pay as their Reefer Div. or a little more because we drive more miles per load. The ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY

Great company everyone is quiet and minds there business. Extremely Professional. You will have tight shippers be aware and always slide your tandem to the front 25-45 miles from shippers off highway. Jenny is amazing and all the staff at AMX. One thing you have to realize in life everything isn’t made for everyone. You will love it or you will hate. Stay professional and realize they are just doing their jobs. God bless you all and the New American Dream. No reason to argue if it’s not you easy have a way home. It’s not there responsibility we’re grown. There small don’t ask for hotels or buses home. Work your way home as an adult should. All you should need is to empty your truck. Welcome to the industry.

Definitely not a good place for experienced drivers, the trucks always have problems and need repairs they don't wanna pay you while you are waiting at a hotel to get your truck fixed and it's atleast 34 hrs your sitting every few days too much northeast and can't get a hold of your dispatch they never pick up the phone unless they need something best decision was leaving here no money to be made might be good for new drivers but not anybody with 10 plus years

This is a amazing company, I have so much love and respect for this company. Dan is one of the most nicest safety guys I have every met . Matthew is one of the best dispatch’s I have ran under. If your looking for a good family and friendly company this is it. If I ever decide one day to work as company driver again this is the company for me hands down . Anyone looking for a great company this it. To the owners y’all have pick a great staff team. And never get rid of Dan(safety) or Matthew (dispatch) To everyone keep making this company great.

Drivers are unappreciated. They really don’t want you to have home time. Black people especially don’t need to drive for this company. You’ll never be respected as a person. You’ll be told you’re replaceable and don’t matter. I hope this company’s management gets better with communication, and treating employees better.

It's family, but you aren't invited. ::: Predatory driver agreement. Miles shorted every run (like swift) Shop is rude (like Swift) Truck has bedbugs (only AMX) Qualcomm 2008 always has a reason to flag your FMCSA that's forever... You will sit and be a number to make dirty people kinda wealthy while you go broke. They love it when you fail so they feel good about themselves.

Waste of time; the recruiter sounded all excited. Then suddenly gives me a call “we can’t verify your 1” yes just 1 employer. So we can’t move forward. I was lost because no other companies had this issue. When I offered proof of employment i.e. settlements statements, W-2, my tax return. He just listlessly says ok I’ll see if that will work. NEVER EVEN HAD THE COMMON COURTESY TO CALL BACK & SAY NO THAT DID OR DIDNT WORK. Yet was selling me on this is a family atmosphere, & your more then a number. Yeah no thanks if your recruiter treated me this way; i can only imagine how your company treats hired drivers NEXTTTTTTTTTT

A supportive and close-knit workplace. Unfortunately, I was let go after taking the truck home without permission and being late for a load the next morning—completely my fault. The company is flexible with home time and offers competitive pay, starting at $0.70 per mile in the refrigerated division.

I've worked with AMX off and on since 2011, rejoining five times. They always have work available. The dispatch team is excellent, and the safety manager is top-notch. However, the sliding pay scale can be limiting, especially on short loads. The company supports drivers on the road, but the pay structure is its main drawback. Otherwise, it's a solid place to work.

With 19 years of experience in trucking, I can say AMX is great for seasoned drivers looking for stability rather than competition. The pay is reasonable, and the fleet is modern. The company provides additional health insurance at no cost to drivers, plus weekly pay, shower facilities, free internet, and other amenities.

Best part of working here? They leave you to do your job without micromanagement, and they fix issues promptly. The fleet is decent to new. Stressful part?

For CDL drivers, this company takes good care of its fleet, provides solid benefits, and keeps drivers moving. However, the pay structure could be better—CPM is low, and drive-time-only pay doesn’t account for delays at shippers/receivers. AMX should either increase CPM or revert to hourly. Overall, I’ve enjoyed my time here and made great connections. Pros: Excellent health insurance, friendly office staff, well-maintained equipment, parking reimbursement. Cons: Pay structure needs improvement, work-life balance is tough for OTR drivers.
