Drivers do NOT drive for this company. They say out Monday-Friday but you’re lucky to get home on Saturday. Less than 24 hours into your 34 they’re hounding you to get back on the road. My dispatcher Cliff was clueless and careless anytime that I contacted him about anything. They use the dash cameras to spy on the drivers when parked. I got written up twice for “parking on a shoulder” the first time I was on the start of a ramp at a rest area and was still inside the rest area, the second time was for being parked parallel in a semi only rest area in Tennessee that was parallel parking only. I attempted to explain where I was parked in both occasions and was met with silence. All of this happened in my first two weeks there. They deduct money out of your paycheck for “out of route miles” if you idle your truck on your 10 hour break. When I turned my truck in the mechanic in the shop told me I was the 16th person that week to turn my keys in. This company is nothing more than a circus ran by clueless clowns.

Oh, boy. Here we go. Well, since they decided to block me on their Facebook for stating what's written in THEIR contract, I'll write it here: "Do not miss work. At all. For any reason. They will take hundreds of dollars out of your paycheck for expedite fees. That's not just coming from a former employee, it's literally in their contract they make you sign at orientation and believe me......they LOVE to enforce it any chance they get. So, PLEASE do yourself a favor and READ THE CONTRACT before you decide to take the job." That was the post verbatim. ---‐----------------------------------------------------------------- Now, on to what I discovered in only a couple of months working here. They tried to take over $500 out of my paycheck once because I missed one day of work due to my car being broken down. WITHOUT INFORMING ME. I still have the paystub as proof. Only after threatening to leave and raising cane over it did they finally refund me and back off. And since we're gonna be petty and block me on Facebook, let's let it ALL out for everyone to see. HI GOOGLE!!!! Don't believe a word they say when they promise you a shift. Even something as vague as nights or days. Don't believe it. They promised me nights when I got hired, I still have the messages as proof, and after only a month, I was forced on to a schedule that I cannot do due to family issues and scheduling. Those recruiters will lie to the ends of the earth to get you in the door. Be prepared to fall severely behind on your bills around the holidays. Toyota in Georgetown, KY shuts down around those times and only the most senior drivers get consistent runs after the shutdown ends. This goes on for weeks. 1, 2, maybe 3 days a week if you're lucky and you might get 6 hours a day AT BEST. You will struggle. Their runs are entirely dependent on what Vascor gives them every month. They have virtually no say. So, if you're looking for consistency in a job, look elsewhere. You will not find it here. If you're OTR, you might get paid 80% of the miles you drive. They run a very outdated mileage pay system that only pays what they consider appropriate pay for the run. Not what you actually drove. Therefore, you will have several hours a week that you essentially drove for free. Don't even bother talking to payroll about it because the lady loves to get an attitude with drivers. They expect far too much out of their driver managers. Especially the two wonderful ladies who were there when I left. They fired one with 0 notice after she simply tried to clean up the mess that was left for her. If you wanna be a driver manager here, don't have a family, don't have a life, don't even breathe a sigh of relief after you leave work. You will be married to that position and they will blame you for the company's preexisting issues and will fire you if things go south for any reason. The owner has absolutely no respect for any of his drivers or office employees. You are a company asset to him. Nothing more. Contrary to what they advertise. He also has a thing for berating and abusing his office staff, so that's fun. If you leave the company, they will charge you for it. If you don't return a truck key, which only applies to OTR drivers, they will charge you $100 or so. They will also charge you $60 for the drug test you took, no matter what position you held with the company. If you do not pay them, they will send that amount to collections and hit your credit with it. That'll teach you, right? I didn't even bother to go back to get my headset out of the truck I was so disgusted with this place. $120 headset. That should tell you something. If anyone would like pictures of anything supporting what I said, leave it in a review and I'd be happy to message you. Sincerely, A driver with 6 years of experience, a completely clean record, and a good work ethic who only asks for respect, decent pay, and communication.

CoreTrans is a lower level trucking company. The people are terrible. Kevin Huff, Tonya, Cliff, Sierra and Jolene are a bad batch of individuals who can at any moment be fired due to their personalities and mediocre work ethic. The owner, Brian does not care for the drivers either. Do not apply for a job here.

I drove for them for a couple years, they're a small good company that unfortunately has to get there seats filled, and have to take on "NON" working lazy crybaby drivers, who seem to post negative reviews, but you can read between the lines and know those drivers are weak, there complaints of being told to do your videos, having money taken, that could be for so many reasons, examples like quitting before bonus period completed, truck/trailer damages, quitting and abandoning truck, ect.. Plus there's plenty of other people to contact if you're not getting a reply from a certain person.. And if you chose to sit a week for Vascor and not ask to go run OTR frieght says you're a slacker, and being asked to do videos and getting upset over that, you said you didn't need babysat, yet it sounds like you're a baby just crying about ticky tacky stuff, that BS agreement that you took a photo of unsigned, is there to help protect the company's loses, and doesn't mean you didn't sign it after, you look kinda shady for that.. The driver complaining about shower, which are really nice, the access door not having a lock is because there's two showers, and there's a separate women's shower, he must be insecure! When I drove there, some of the shp/rcv were tough places to get in and out of, but that's trucking, and you had to hustle, be dependable and safe, and they took care of you, and worked with you, and you'd make good money... I left to be an owner operator, but I'm grateful for my time there.. If you're a legit driver, CoreTrans is a good company worth giving a chance..

Upper management would ask for feedback, claiming to want to improve overall production value, but then refused to follow through on any of those discussions and continue to blame employees for not trying hard enough. Trust me, you can try your best and they will simply demand more and more until you break and say something nasty in retort to the near constant verbal and written abuse. Then you'll be marked as tainted and they will find a way to force you out. Don't. Trust. Anyone.

Here’s how orientation will go…they’ll rent you a car and put you in a hotel but don’t expect anything more! You’ll have to return your rental car the first morning and have an escort to and from the hotel but don’t expect anything else lol. For lunch you’ll be asked to keep your fast food meal under $6! Dinner is on you so bring lots of extra money to either uber or walk. Mattresses for sleepers are a foot and half too short. Front and rear facing cameras in every truck 🙄. You’ll leave feeling like just a number!!

They don t pay over time even if you work 60 hours a week you will still be paid at your normal rate not time and half, that s the only negative about coretrans other that the team is good and the dispach is great people. They are very flexible about the schedule and they have many options about driving time, you can choose your own time a.m or p.m

Good job if your local with weekends off. Paid was good and hourly. You will work a lot of hours Monday thru Friday but your checks will be large paid out on every Friday. Some trucks are new, most have a lot of miles on them and problems. Company trailers are pretty old and beat up but they get the job done. Management in Georgetown is very good and helpful.

You have the women in the offfice with bad attitudes towards drivers and wil not speak or talk with drivers. Dispatchers are disrespectful to drivers and they care only about freight pickup and delivery. They write you up on things that to other companies are minor and on weekends there is rarely someone to answer phones in an emergency. Think be accepting a position with this company as a driver!!!!

I wouldn't go back to work there if I got paid a million dollars. The owner doesn't care about u all he cares about is the money u make him. He thinks ur time doesn't mean anything. If u have a family u will never get to see them. Ur under paid for the job. The benefits suck. And the dispatchers try and run u till u can't run anymore. They don't care how far from home u our when Friday comes around bc they go home every night.

Coretrans seemed to be a good job, application was to extensive, they push drivers to close to hos, they did make good on their bonuses, you could get the guaranteed pay as long as you made your stops, which everybody knows you can't do all the time cause the odds are not in the drivers favor a lot of the times and rushing makes for accident proned conditons much less bad weather conditions, their trucks do not have torque for pulling hills which most truckers such as myself like and need to change lanes safely, plus when the truck goes to their shop (yard) maintenance is not the best and usually causes you to be late for pick ups or deliveries (which is probably cause of the not having enough mechanics), they do seem to pay or at lease I got paid cause my paperwork was always turned in on time, I did here some drivers horror stories of them not getting their right pay cause of being out of route, using the wrong fuel stops or not getting their paperwork turned in, one of the main overall gripes with Coretran is as I mention is that I think they push the drivers harder then they have to which causes hos violations which can go against your license
