I’m an OTR company driver at Merx and have been with them about 8 months now. And I’ve truly been satisfied each and every day of those months. They are such good natured people that make you feel appreciated. By keeping you well informed in every aspect. No long waits in between loads. Keep me with good miles every week.They really keep the ball moving when it comes to moving freight and keeping the driver satisfied. Shots out to Dillon, Anthony, Daniel , Matt ,and all who steps in making me feel at home. Also shots opt to that safety crew. Julia and Alex are such brilliant people. Merx take pride in keeping their vehicles in top fashion. I never have issues with breakdowns, or DOT inspections. Nor blown tires. They run all originals. I had a breakdown once due to a DEF issue that carried through a 3 day holiday weekend and they paid me $150 for each of them days. And put me in a room. Their pay scale is excellent cause the pretty much pay for each and every mile I drive. None of that zip code to zip code mess where your miles be getting cut on the dead head end and actual pickup which can be up to 70 or more miles with other companies. I have great respect for what they offer. They’re very up front. Nothing hidden between the lines.

Per a lady at their accounting, they are waiting to get paid by their customer so they can pay us.... ?! What kind of unheard business practices is that ?! We have no business with their customer whatsoever. They are the ones who hired us to do the job and must pay us per agreed contract. Invoice is now 50 days old and they cannot provide a payment date. A claim to their surety bond was just filed. Stay away

Working with Merx Global for their marketing event in Chicago was a great experience.The team was very professional and easy to work with. Our staff was assigned to be part of a big marketing activation campaign requiring lead generation and consumer interaction. Merx members made it a priority to work with us as a team,identify our needs prior and during the event to ensure it was a success.

At one time it was a good company to work for. It seems they don't have the freight they once did. Came out from home time , waited more then 4 hours for a load . My dispatch at one time was in Elk Grove,IL. now they are in another Country. They use E speed adapter, that system is very dangerous ( micro manage's the truck ) that system has many issues. I'm looking for another company.

I have done many loads in my career as a freight broker. I came across Pete at Merx Global when covering one of my loads in what I thought would be a one off cover and go type of situation. Pete was professional, provided great service, had his driver track and provide updates. Like myself, Pete was always interested in our needs like they were his own and we have done many loads since, keeping drivers on the roads and servicing customers to the best of our ability. Pete is honest with his rates and will do whatever to provide capacity to you and your customer. I look forward to the working relationship with Pete for the years to come. Definitely recommend Pete & Merx Global if you want white glove service and reliability on your shipments!

Honestly this is by far the best company I have worked for in my 2+ years of trucking . I get consistent miles and I'm not pressed driving because my dispatchers work very well at booking my loads. I make really good money and get home almost every weekend. I'm happy here and hope to grow more with this company. By the way..... Everyone is friendly and respectful! I love Merx Global!

My husband just started driving for this company and after a little rough start everything was cleared up quickly. I will say that after so many years of bad jobs and promises I have never had a recruiter call me to make sure that we were happy and everything was ok. I'm highly impressed with this company and their very professional dispatchers and recruiters. Were looking forward to a long and happy career with Merx Global..

Four years ago I found Merx Global and realized that this company is one of the best ( if not the best) In the industry. Everyone here is awesome to work with. If you're looking for a great place to work safe,professional, caring and understanding come join the team at Merx Global. You'll be glad you did. And as a driver hopefully you can be teamed up with an awesome dispatcher like Andrew. He's the best.

What is the best part of working at the company? Guaranteed pay every week. And the sign on bonus. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with foreign employees. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very stressful and not truly rewarding enough. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Very tedious and monotonous. Like walking on eggshells.

Merx Global represents a company that knows "why" they are in business. It is very hard to find businesses that can focus on their why, it is very hard to find a company that their employees recognize and promote the company's "why". Because of this focus... the customers validate Merx as a great company by promoting the company as well. As an employee of Merx Global I have heard from our customers and our employees and they believe in what Merx believes in. This is a rare quality in a company that most other companies fail to deliver. Because of this focus by the ownership and the employees at Merx I believe that Merx will prosper well into the future and continue to provide the best service to their customers. This is why I love to work at Merx Global
