Garner Trucking

Now in their 62nd year, Garner Transportation is the #1 Best Small Fleet to Drive For in 2022. Family owned, its small enough to be family friendly flexible, yet large enough to offer competitive wages and excellent benefits.

I have worked there for 2 months now and cannot tell you a single bad thing about this company. Dispatchers are always willing to help when you ask, keep you rolling, and as for the cameras, if they weren't there I would have bought them myself. The lines of communication are always open with Garner whether it's HR, dispatch, safety, or the shop. Great equipment also. Couldn't be more content or happier.

I have worked for Garner for almost 9 years. They have always been fair and treated me like part of the family instead of an employee. I was going through some tough times at home and Sherri (the company owner)was there for me! I have a great supervisor and coworkers which makes it easy to go to work. Garner is a great place to work!!!

Great People To work with, Especially the Recruiter Mackenzie

Overall, it’s a good company. If you’re willing to put in the miles, you’ll earn. However, the 5/6 schedule meant too much time away from home, and the 4/4 option didn’t provide enough pay, especially with slip seating. The staff and coworkers are friendly and helpful.

I would never recommend working here. They show little concern for their drivers. After slipping and falling, I reported it to safety, but their only concern was ensuring my load was delivered. By the time I reached Atlanta, my leg was severely swollen, yet I had followed their instructions. They fought against my Workmen’s Comp claim, and I never received it.

Companies like this take advantage of recent driving school graduates for cheap labor. I would have made more money working in fast food. As a new driver, I was assigned old, high-mileage tractors. Dispatchers either didn’t know or didn’t care if I had to violate HOS rules to meet delivery deadlines. The recruiter misled me about the $66 per diem—it wasn’t an additional payment but rather a deduction from my mileage pay, returned as an untaxed reimbursement.
