I've been driving here for over a year. Great company to work for. They are safety oriented, expect a clean truck, and professional drivers. If your truck goes down, they will give you spare so you can keep rolling. Extremely friendly work environment drivers help each other out.

Extremely aggressive driver, not using turn signals, talking on the phone, speeding with no regard for cars and trucks around him.... Looking at the reviews it seems you have alot of problem drivers!! Yall should be ashamed of your drivers and your company for allowing these people to continue their dangerous behavior!!

Vin number: 3n594196 Needs retraining concerning safety, consideration, and understanding because in Fort Mill, SC in between 5:00-5:20pm this driver clearly was in the wrong lane. Myself and a car following close behind were almost crushed and turned into truck food as we entered unto the highway, due to the unlawful driving of your employee, 😡😠

License Plate # U652374, truck # 1051105 driving in Newton Co. GA 11/11/2020 6:40- 6:55 pm on East bound interstate hwy 20, driver was speeding, cutting drivers off, following dangerously close, weaving in and out of lane. Flashing his lights, created several extremely unsafe situations. I should have reported this driver to state patrol unit in Conyers, Ga. Please look into this, trucks are so dangerous when operated aggressively.

Truck 4802 was tailgating the cars in traffic on I64 in Louisville at 1pm 7/26/2018. Several cars and trucks pulled over off the road to let him pass. The driver then flicked off the people that stopped. We followed for a minute more and the driver cut off a car and forced them off the road. We called the police in fear of him killing someone.

I really have no concern or care about Ard Trucking. There isn’t much to say. The turn over rate for new highers is to high. Drivers an office personnel never stay with the company long which is sad.

Worked for Ard for almost 4 years, first couple years were ok, pay was a little low, but tolerable because of the folks in management. In 2015 they went through a change of management, and the people who took over were horrible. By the time I left, they were on the brink of losing the money making dedicated account, and many of the drivers, and even several of the mechanics were talking about leaving. When I left, they treated the majority of the drivers like trained monkeys, not like human beings with lives, and families. The pay was rather inadequate as well, after 4 years, you only make .39 a mile (after supposed bonuses), or roughly $1100 gross. If that’s the environment you are looking for, more power to you.

Trucks are decent, but the VP has a very nasty attitude and tries to run everything in a very spiteful way. I planned my vacation 6 months ahead of time, and after returning, she assigned my truck to another driver and gave him miles,and put me in a daycab and short miles. If his truck was in the shop, why not put him in the daycab? I was also sent by her to get another Dot physical within two weeks of the first physical.

Job is about average. Two biggest problems are old worn out tractors and trailers that are bought used at auctions that have caused me points and two tickets. Company has very bad csa score and is close to being shut down by DOT.
