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.

This company isn’t ideal for those looking to advance in life but works well for those willing to settle. While the benefits are high, the compensation is low, and the equipment—both trucks and trailers—is in poor condition. Dispatch is mandatory.

I worked at Ard for nearly four years. The first couple of years were decent, with manageable pay and good management. However, after a leadership change in 2015, things went downhill. The company lost its lucrative dedicated account, and many drivers and mechanics considered leaving. By the time I left, drivers were treated like expendable workers rather than valued employees with families. The pay remained inadequate, with a base of 39 cents per mile or around $1,100 gross. If that’s what you’re looking for, go ahead.

The trucks are decent, but the VP’s unpleasant attitude negatively impacts the company. Despite planning my vacation six months in advance, my truck was reassigned upon my return, and I was given fewer miles. Instead of placing another driver in a day cab, they put me there instead. Additionally, I was forced to take another DOT physical just two weeks after my last one.

The job itself is average, but outdated tractors and trailers—purchased at auctions—have led to citations and points on my record. The company has a poor CSA score and is at risk of being shut down by the DOT.

The company offers a close-knit, family-like atmosphere but struggles with equipment issues. Evening dispatch helps drivers resolve vendor and location problems. I’d consider returning if the equipment improved.
