Best company I've ever driven with. Family owned and operated. Great staff to work with. If you want to get those miles for the week this is the place. All of our trucks are gliders 389's and W900L icons. Our main route is the central corridor of 35 & 49. Majority of the states we run are IA,WI MN,OK,TX,KS,IL,UT, and sometimes MD. Some drivers do leave and end up coming back. I wouldn't leave this company for any other, wish I would've known about Monson years ago.

I've been with Monson & Sons since April 2017. I have no complaints. Only praise. They work with the drivers on home time. Best company to work for. You're not a number. They know you by name. And they keep you busy. I would say this is where i'll finish my career. I've been driving for almost 30 years. I still have a long way to go.

Been a great and easy going company to work for so far. Everybody in the office is easy to talk to and will help a driver out as best as possible. You will have your occasional issues that come with OTR trucking but all in all very minimal. You also have more of a sense of freedom here then other companies seem to give you. I recommend Monson and Sons to any driver.

Been driving 40 years close to 7 million miles accident free , came to Monson and sons a few weeks ago wish I would’ve came here years ago. By far best company I’ve ever worked for. . Keith is a great dispatcher keeps me moving and gets me home every weekend. The equipment is top notch, pay is on the high end of the scale. Chase that runs the shop is awesome, anything you need he’s right on top of it. I met Ron he’s just a down to earth guy, very open . Doesn’t have the attitude that he’s better than you. Must say I think I found a home here.

Something currently employed drivers and drivers looking to work for this company should know.. when you leave the company even on perfect terms no issues and are told if you ever want to come back one day you are welcome.. they will take out $584 from your last paycheck for your pre employment drug test and pcp test. No knowledge to the driver about this until you get your last check. How cheap and WRONG is that? All the years and companies my husband drove for and this is the ONLY company that has ever did that !!! And without his consent to do so !

They will put a false claim on your dac report and then refuse to discuss it and take the proof that it’s false. Very shady business

Awesome owner!! Awesome company!! Awesome people!! When I first arrived to the terminal the atomisphere felt so calm and everyone smiled and welcomed me when I came in. Great staff working in dispatch and in recruiting. They’ll go out of their way to help you and they’ll work with you. Plan on being here until I retire. It is a blessing to be working here. Thank you Ben, Ron, Christy, Jasmine, Teri, Shannon, Shea, Keith, Bill (Trailer Shop), Bruce and everyone else who I’ve met in Britt, Iowa.

One of the best companies I've drove for. Only downfall s would be that you have to run e- logs and the trucks were govened at 70mph. But when I was running paper logs I made pretty good money.
