Been a great company for the two years I've worked here as a company driver. If you're willing to work and take care of your equipment you'll have no problems here. I've never liked a company as much as this and see myself retiring here someday. Really not sure why there are a few bad reviews, some people are never happy.

I had the pleasure to meet a driver in Mississippi and his name was Mike B from Florida/Wisconsin. Super nice guy! I couldn’t believe how much pride he took in his truck and company! Just a completely outstanding and respectful guy!

Only writing this to tell you what I believe was truck 2524 ( might be wrong on number) was trying to keep him from taking me out.?4-22-22. Interstate 70 East in Indianapolis, he was trying to exit to Ronald Reagan pky . Was in 3 lane and was trying to get between and another truck where there was no room. He proceeded to try so I backed out of it because he was going to take my hood off, he then barely got to what was the white triangle section of the ramp barely missing the sign. Very unsafe and unprofessional. Hi hopefully you can see what truck was in Indy at 7 am this morning. Thanks for your time

This is by far the best company I've ever driven/worked for in my life. Average truck is less than 3 years old. They have mechanics that work until 11 pm every day. Top notch people. Upper management have a truly open door policy. It's still a trucking job, so not every thing is going to be perfect 100% all the time, but the good days far outweigh the bad days.

I've been working for Jeff foster for 7 mos. Now, and I love it! I live in the w end of the U.P. and is absolutely worth the drive. This co is truly all about the drivers. You are rewarded for hard work, the mechanics are wonderful and dispatch is friendly and easy. I never knew how bad I had it at previous employer until I came home...Jeff foster trucking, love this place, seems like a great fit for me.

Worse place to work. They have no loyalty to veteran drivers. No help at night. Talk to you like your worthless and behind your back. The pay is the lowest in the area.I refused to drive a truck when the wipers quit working three times and was told they think I'm doing it to get out of work. My grandfather said Jeff Foster was a good man from humble beginnings, but after working here I don't see that as truth. I would recommend you work for Swift before you do here. By the way I'm a man if I don't want to work. I will quit not try and kill myself or others.

Don't drive behind these trucks because they are loaded with rocks that will go through your windshield and they will deny any responsibility, even when you see the rocks come directly from their truck. Scott said if you don't have a video you are out of luck! Not the kind of Company to use for anything!

Refuses to pay drivers. Will not fix equipment and then pressure you into loads. Refused to send a tow truck when necessary. Disrespectful towards drivers and openly treat them badly. Payroll will mess up or all together not pay you, then act as if you are on their nerves for wanting your paycheck. Operations manager will ask you what it is you do with your money and why do you need your check so badly. Disorganized, rude, and will illegally hold your check. Protect yourself and your time. This company hates their drivers.

I'm going to expose you for PPP fraud.. You will be on the list with the rest of Minnesota trucking companies that scammed the government out of millions of dollars. Do you want to make a statement before you are posted?
