Driver of this truck hit one of my employees when asked to move his truck from blocking our loading docks. They hire unprofessional drivers with long wrap sheets. Shippers and brokers beware.

My experience at CO. Lines has been what I would definitely call a Great one. I’ve been driving for them for over a year now and still is. “I” Never had any problems with a staff member. When I 1st arrived It was a home atmosphere. Everyone welcomed me with the upmost respect. There has been times where I needed help with a couple things and got It accomplished with CO. lines help. Great pay & plenty of loads. Home time is very important to me and every time even when i had an last minute emergency, they’ve came through. Out of the 2 other employers I’ve worked for, CO lines is far better with overall satisfaction. Hope to see you see in one of their trucks soon! #CoLinesInc

They will book you a load and tell you that it pays $1500 when the load actually pays $2800. They edit the rate conformation before it goes to the driver. The way they get away with it is in the contract because they will say it's what you agreed too.

I found this company on Indeed. I read what they had to offer and was very skeptical. I filled out the application, someone contacted me right off, and they reassured me that the offer was indeed real. I took the leap and now I’m an Owner Operator. Great company, great ppl, great opportunity to become a boss. THEY ARE AS ADVERTISED, the real deal!!!

Heard terrible things from the company, from their drivers. From making excuses on why they drop their drivers pays(no other companies did that)to withhold the drivers employee verifications when they start applying for a new jobs(which is illegal)better watch out cause they don’t have the best interest for the drivers. (Check these google reviews some of them are fake profiles)

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO DRIVE FOR THIS COMPANY. DEFINITELY SCAMMERS. MY CHECK WAS NEVER OVER $700. THEY CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING. I BROUGHT IN A REVENUE OF $8000 AND AFTER THEY TOOK OUT AN THEIR FEES MY CHECK WAS $700 something. DEFINITELY have receipts. Contact me to find out more. So if you want to stay taking care of your family, don't go there. *** UPDATE IN REFERENCE TO CO LINES RESPONSE*** Thank you for your response because it was definitely a lie and slander. But I will definitely let my screenshots do my talking. Also you took the truck from the back of my house with all of MYTHINGS inside the truck. That's not abandoned. That is theft. Drivers beware!

Would not recommend anyone to come to this company. The ONLY good thing I would say about them is that they pay well besides that run away. They lack professionalism and give you faulty equipment and make you run over your hours to make appointments. Communication is a huge problem here as you would talk to different departments regarding the same issue and get completely different answers and even when showing proof of the conversation via text they will deny and lie of what actually was said . I hope instead of them being upset for what I posted they actually try to improve in the areas I suggested. Just being honest and giving a real review about this company.

Best tracking Company , I am there from 2016 and most of my wealth came from there.Owner's of the company treat his owner operator's and driver's with respect. People in the office are kind and professional, they will fix any problem for you, you want be left on the side to wait, it's opportunity for everyone who wants to try and see if he/she is able to give the best become member of the Co-Lines team and be happy.

Don’t waste your time with this company. They even charge the driver for envelopes. Bad experience and when you leave they will keep whatever money that is entitled to you. I repeat don’t go to this company. The. When you try to find out why your check wasn’t deposited they can give you a straight answer.
