I wouldn't even give one star..truck number 9556..license plate number 2653047..was going down 431 in Glencoe kissing the license plate numbers of every car on the road..going a good 70mph in a 50mph zone..they make it on time..but at the same time putting lives in danger while they do it..I can't blame the whole company but I have a 3weeks old baby in my vehicle and his wreckless driving was not safe at all

This company is a joke... hauled a load for them... had to wait an hour to be loaded and because I delivered an hour late they deducted $125 off our pay on a $500 load. Will be reporting to the better business bureau and having all my drivers post negative reviews.

Overall enjoyed some of the travel but just not enough pay for the job. Everything is very time managed. Had some good experiences and some bad. ,28% of gross load would not be enough to feed anybody in today's cost of living. Really not worth the trouble but if you need to work temporary to get to another point in life it's OK. Don't plan on making big money..

What is the best part of working at the company? New tractor trailers. That is it.!! What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Bad dispatching, poor communications, trailers need inspections or something is wrong with it. Terrible pay. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? None existed and lack of morals. You can even get a phone call back for assistance with anything What is a typical day like for you at the company? Slow, gap dispatch where you loose a day of work.

Good job security if you're a hard worker. Never had a complaint about the company. I was laid off when it got slow. Excellent shop with folks that know what they're doing with repairs. Driver manager/dispatch could use improvements in the fact that they lie to cover themselves. Have seen some drivers get fired over a lie by dispatch. Overall not a terrible company. Definitely better than most!
