I would give this place six stars if that was an option. The dispatch is out of this world, staff is professional and passionate. The mechanics are well trained to do their job, and they do it in shortest amount of time. David and George are the best people of this word and you can trust them completely .

MN89 is a decent company to work for. I really didn't have a bad or good experience with the company. They gave me plenty of miles, I was home a lot, and I made pretty good money. The only reason I quit was because my dispatcher wanted me to drive in heavy snow conditions. I wasn't willing to risk my license. I would recommend this company to drivers because this company is decent.

I'm still waiting for my 4k escrow that this company said it return. As long as I return the equipment to their yard. And that was over a year ago MN89 where's my money!!!!! These companies are the worst they sign you on as a 1099 or contractor or lease driver. And they have no problem at all treating you like a owner operator when it comes to the all the expenses of operating the truck. However, that's not good enough then they also want to control you like a company driver. MN 89 INC. WHERE'S MY MONEY !!!!!!! Just another shady trucking company robbing driver after driver.

I started here 5 weeks ago and I've regretted my decision. Week1$800.00 week2 $1,000.00. Week3 $0.00 Week4 $0.00. My gross for 4 weeks was $18,600.00. Please know your worth as a truck driver. We leave our families to keep our country moving , meanwhile providing for our families .You aren't guaranteed to make it back home. What will your family do with your last check-$0.00 KNOW YOUR WORTH! Look into Illinois Labor Department.

There’s money to be made here I highly doubt you get a truck for 700 dollars your truck is going to be somewhere between 1000-1300 the trailer isn’t going to be in the best shape if you pick the 175 option and you’re going to have to sink some money into there’s no forced dispatch they’ll let you run wherever you want to and they have ways to help you keep running it’s a walkway lease you don’t want to be rush through the contract and lease agreement start it early in the morning and not late in the afternoon as far as anybody paying there trucks off idk maybe it happens maybe it doesn’t myself I picked a load dispatch advised me against but I needed to get a friend home who’d been with me on the road long enough to the point his old lady was ready to leave him over it to not have problems with your paycheck make sure you get clear photos of all your bill of ladings and send them to the lady in accounting as well as your dispatcher I mean it’s trucking it is what it is basically you’ll get what you give I’d still be with these people right now if I hadn’t made a horrible choice in taking a load that tied the truck up two weeks putting me so far in the hole I wasn’t gonna kill myself to come out of it my escrow and truck deposit funds should cover the steps they had to take to deal with a horrible customer if you want to make some money come here and avoid food loin dc of center of Virginia and you’ll be more than happy take care of yourself Danny and Ben you’re good people

Im a current driver at MN89 and I really don't have anything bad to say about MN89. I think the key is, picking a truck with less miles. Your truck payment will be a couple hundred dollars more but to me it's worth it. I picked a 2024 international, and I haven't gone to the shop once. Well besides the PM. I manage my fuel and I know how much my check is going to be even before I get paid, because my deductions/fixed cost never change. I have talked to multiple drivers and there are a lot of complaints from them. To not get a check you either have to be always late, don't know how to manage fuel, truck is always in the shop because you went the cheap route, or you ruined the relationship with your dispatcher. I have a great dispatcher but I also know that I can work with any dispatcher at mn89 and the outcome would be the same. The key to success at MN89 is to trust your dispatcher and build that relationship.

One of the best businesses I have ever worked for is MN89 INC. They have helpful office personnel. I'm friends with my dispatcher quite well. I've driven both their older and more recent trucks, and both run smoothly and are well-maintained. I've hauled a wide variety of loads, which helped me refine my abilities.

Can't complain good company great chance to own your own truck!!!! People are friendly and you make decent money even if you have a mishap they will work with you but you got to be a go getter not lazy this ain't for the week remember your buying a truck as a business owner so there's expenses that come with it so at the ending of your term the truck is yours no balloon payment or nothing can't beat it shout out to my dispatcher Tom

They promise a lot but they are lying. Worked there for a month and I never made a dime. In fact, I owe them money...they charge you for everything, even if they tell you they will take care of it. They charge you later. They do everything possible to make sure you run out your clock but don't have to pay you. Run away far far away.

From the first day horrible...long miles low pay loads and high expenses..not enough money left to pay expenses owed each nor a paycheck going home...dispatchers will tell you to trust the team an load plan..please only trust God..walk run..and if you have to crawl away...Cdl's are a specialty and most drivers have gone through extremes to obtain and maintain them...MN89 doesnt account for this they could care less...as long as they get there20% what you make is a nevermind..

I worked as a recovery driver for over 6 months alongside 8 other recovery drivers. I’d recover 2-3 abandoned trucks weekly all over the country. Speaking with a few of the lease drivers personally on their reason of quitting & they all say the pay is ridiculous! They recently decided to go down on the recovery drivers pay without notice which is why I no longer work for them as well. They expect so much out of you with little pay!! Run far away from this company!!!

My advise before lease purchasing. You should have EXPERIENCE working with the company before committing to any company you've never heard of or have zero first hand knowledge of. You don't know what it true, what's an exaggeration and what is a straight lie. My best advise, work from %percent or rent so that you are actively looking at the rate confirmation and is precisely aware of the numbers, at that point you will realize your just getting the same check as a regular driver but you carry all the responsibility. Look how much you made and how many miles you drove, let's say you made $1700 and drove 2600 miles, thats .65 cents per mile, its what drivers make, I just saved you a lot of headache, your welcome. Also ask about fee's in writing/email, they like to leave those details out, like if there's a truck cleaning/washing fee when returning.

Lie about, miles, rate con, truck payments, truck maintenance, truck payments, they just lie abiut everything overall. They skim of the top of the rate con, they do have forced dispatch, their loads are cheap. You will make money for them, but not for you, and your family.

I'm not saying it's impossible to make money here, however it is set up for them to make money, not for you. They use brokers, don't have any direct customers. They take money off the top, and then charge you 20%. Very difficult to make money, very dishonest. This place is a revolving door.

Worked there 3 weeks. Hated the truck i was assigned to lease purchase. It was not what i was assured i would get. Never ever got a check was in the red from the get go. The JUNK trailer they assigned me was better off in a junk heap. Lights didn't work filthy inside and blew 2 tires the first week. That I had to pay for. No loads inadequate loads never made a freaking dime. Was very happy to get away. Got a great job now and making money. Thanks but no thanks to mn89
