Good company with benefits and also flexibility with scheduling. The only downside is you have to adapt to working with lazy employees who hide behind skids and sit corner of the warehouse and choose not to contribute to a team work environment since owner of the company is too afraid to fire them because he doesn’t want to pay unemployment. All of which creates a toxic work environment since is unfair to the employees who work hard.

Got there at 10pm on flatbed but they couldn’t unload me, too busy and other people had to do it even though they asked supervisor to see if he ok that. But no. Was waken up at 4 am the guy took papers and said that they will process my staff. 40 min later went inside but they said I have to wait till 8 after waking me up. 8 o’clock nothing, 9 o’clock nothing 10 o’clock nothing. 11 started to move but all the sudden forks on forklift to big. Asked to back in to the dock again. 12 empty with only two 1000lb pieces to be removed. And yes, their deliveries absolutely priority. So morning to unload is a tough goal. Could’ve being a good experience but no.

Booked a load with Paul who was dishonest about the pick up time to start with - namely the load was supposed to pick up by 5pm on a Friday, the driver got there at 4pm and the shipper had closed at 3pm and no one was able to load us till Monday. Paul refused to pay a TONU and repeatedly kept hanging up the phone on me. I could never reach him on the phone again. Needless to say, we never got that TONU paid. Keep away and DO NOT BOOK.

I booked a load MO-NH with Milos Karovic. This guy is a true liar . Before pick up I asked him for couple times if he had our delivery scheduled for Monday am and he confirmed over the phone and email that he did. When we arrived to the receiver it appeared they were never notified about our truck coming, as a result he stayed there till Tuesday. Midwest Express didn't even try to solve the problem. Instead of wasting the whole day at the receiver, we could make at least $600-700. I requested $400 as a compensation for this day and received only $150 from the broker as a layover. DON'T DO any business with these guys!!!

Anyone leaving a good review about this place must be within the company! I've been here 3 or 4 times every time I have to watch atleast 4 people walk past me without asking what I'm here for or even acknowledge me. Trust me I understand people are busy and have work to do, but there is such thing called good customer service and this page lacks that 100% There are multiple people flying around on fork lifts loading Midwest trucks FIRST even if you've been waiting 45 minutes before they even arrived. Good luck if you make it out of this place at a good time.

Disorganized! But they paid well. I'd think twice whether I would or would not interline for them again.
