Altom Transport

Non union No benefis health care $120 + a week. This place is a joke get your experience and leave. All they care about is having nice equipment NOT the driver's. They micro- manage every move cant stop to use the bathroom with out getting a call asking why I stop. You have been warned!!!!!

Refer to lawsuit against them and see how they treat there drivers

Absolutely wonderful

I just quit here after 3 months. I initially came here because I saw the ad that promised 175-300k a year. My take home average here was about $ 1,500 take home a week. Some weeks there was a good paying load, followed by no work at all the next week, and then a couple bad paying regional moves on the third week. Gotta admit that their yard is very clean and their equipment is top notch. I also understand that a few of their senior owner ops do make very good money consistently, but don't be mislead by that. The newbies get the short end of the stick. Most of the guys that came to the orientation with me are thinking about quitting. If you enroll with this company after what I've told you, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. Also keep in mind there is a $ 1,000 uninstallation fee for the camera and tablet if you're here less than a year.

Smaller company 300-350 truck fleet, 70% O/O. Really good company for experienced drivers. They don’t babysit you. Owner operator averaging $4.22 loaded mile, $3.18 all miles. Averaging $6,200 a week. 70% of line haul. Great transparency, you see all actual line haul rates before load is accepted. Good fuel discount at the big three, 40-90c off a gallon. Easy to gross over 300k year without totally living in your truck. Lots of deadhead over the road though, but the line haul compensates. ELDs need the bugs worked out, have to log out every time you turn the engine off. Pretty happy though.
