Every company has its flaws and I’ll just leave it there. This company has been great the 6 months I’ve been here. No negative settlements, home when I want to be, and great communication between my dispatcher and I. If I need something done it is taken care of in a timely fashion. The only draw back I currently see is that the wait time to be paid for layover and detention is ridiculously long for no reason. I’m still waiting on things dating back to four months. Other than that good running lanes and customers.

You hear all this negative about this company. Yes some of it is true but 90% is false me and my wife was homeless and had nothing we was broke and starving and they took us in like family and helped us thru it and have started to get us back on our feet. They have amazing recruiters and dispatch. They so have good pay if ya willing to run

Bad company to work for if you have payments and young family at home. Good if you are single or grown family.this company will go into saying that if a driver doesn't make it, it is because they are not doing what they are supposed to, but the truth is that their dispatchers suck as well as the people around them. I was losing about a day and a half after a delivery waiting for a load, and when they gave me something, it was a short run load, but it would waste 2 days to run 500 to 600 miles and again day and a half for the next load .they will send you to pick up loads at places that will take up to 25 hours to get you loaded or, in my case, was 36 hours and the dispatchers will not tell you this in advance nor you will get and waiting time money .you will start with an ok paycheck, but as the weeks come, the more you work, the more money they will get deducted .like I say, it's good for a single or old person or someone that does not care about ever see family.

I be been with hurricane express for bout a month. I've been driving for 18 years now and worked for a few companies they all have good and bad stuff it's all up to the driver and their preferences on how they run and what they will and will not put up with. But in my experience I like it here they are straight with us except for the communication part they could be better but with all the people coming in for orientation I can see why. But I have no complaints here and would like to further my career here and make it my forever home. Ken Manville truck 413221

Hi, I am a 4 1/2 yr Hurricane Express driver. As a driver of Hurricane Express I take pride in my experience here. To the great looking trucks, good miles “2500-3000 a week” and just as great pay, to the great staff and drivers that make up the company. I will say Hurricane is not for everyone, but should you decide to work here I am confident that you will succeed. This is truck 475121 signing off and hope to see you on the road. Have a safe one! .

FANTASTIC COMPANY If you are willing to work and want to make money, hurricane express is a great place to grow. I have been a truck driver for 30 years. I have been a lease operator for almost a month at Hurricane Express. They are very family oriented and treat you as such. They are more than happy to help. They listen to any concerns or complaints and quickly respond & resolve any issue you are having. Transportation to the 3-day orientation was simple. The orientation was not stressful at all. If you want miles, this is the place to be. During orientation they were very informative and helped me understand what I needed to do to be successful. Their equipment is very nice. I have had no issues. My truck came with a 35 inch smart TV,microwave,fridge and mattress. The size and storage capacity is more than enough. They have top lease/purchase Peterbuilt fleet, start in a 2018 or newer and a brand new 2021 or 2022 579 with 18 speed manual and 1850 torque X15 in your colors within 90 days or less. Absolutely no one makes it easier or more profitable to try a new job!

Been with hurricane since 2022, Hurricane has done an awesome job in supporting me and my goal to own a truck and business. Very helpfull and encouraging every step of way. If looking to be in a lease purchase that actually pays on constant this is the place to be, you have to remember it's your business it's up to how hard you work to earn your pay. And business takes hard work and sacrifice, but hurricane is behind you 💯 You will not be disappointed

It works out when you know how to fuel, trip plan, and use cruise control. Like any other company, there are quirks, but effective communication resolves most problems. One can't operate like an employee and expect to reap the benefits of a boss. You have to OPERATE AS A BUSINESS OWNER!!! That means controlling your costs!!! A trucker doesn't make money sitting at home. This is a no money down and no credit check situation. That in itself is a blessing. I'm out here making money. Success requires sacrifice. Fortune favors the bold! My radio handle is Cruise Control. Ask about me!!! #Top1% #0547 #Pete567 #GrayGhost

What is the best part of working at the company? The trucks are well-maintained and visually appealing. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Most of what you’re told isn’t true. Contracts contain half-truths, and messages sent to you are primarily to get you into orientation. There are numerous chargebacks for everything. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Management provides misleading information. Coworkers are friendly, and when freight is available, the paychecks are solid. "Minimum" doesn’t actually mean minimum—it's often the maximum. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Run the full clock, but you're required to stay at 64 mph despite having 70+ mph capability. Running at full throttle is penalized.

What is the best part of working at the company? The trucks are well-designed, especially the 18-speed Petes. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Communication is nonexistent! The recruiter never mentioned inward-facing cameras or lane control systems. Orientation was unhelpful, providing no contact info for breakdown support or logs. Don't even try to reach driver advocacy—it’s impossible! The "guaranteed $2,000 per week" claim is misleading. If a driver asks for an address, just give it to them! Also, stationary fifth wheels make hooking up to load locks difficult and often cause APU overheating. The company talks a good game, but execution is sloppy. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The people are friendly, but the company needs a complete overhaul to become a truly great workplace. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Drive at 65 mph, use every available minute, then sit for two days. To qualify for the guarantee, you must log at least 2,800 miles per week.

Expect to stay on the road for 4-6 weeks with minimal home time. High truck-related fees are deducted from your settlement, and no fuel surcharge is provided.

As fuel prices increased, produce rates dropped, which reduced my miles. If you enjoy long hours on the road, this could be a good fit. The equipment is high-quality, and it's a great option for single drivers with few financial obligations.

This is a great place for a lease-purchase operator. After selling my trucking equipment before COVID, I decided to lease-purchase here. Having completed leases elsewhere, I understood the process. Kaedon Steinert has created a winning formula for equipment and pay, backed by a skilled office team ensuring steady loads. My communication with my driver manager has been excellent, ensuring profitability and home time. When unexpected situations arise, they work hard to accommodate requests for time off. If you're committed to becoming a successful owner-operator, Hurricane Express is a solid choice.
