Navajo Express is the worst company I've EVER worked for. If you have trucking experience with years under your belt DO NOT apply here. They start you off with .45 cents a mile which is peanuts to an experiences driver. Also when I was given my truck I had a rear axle air bag leak and front axle air bag leak and I told the mechanic about the front and you could clearly see the rear axle because the bolt had popped off and the air bag was hanging off the frame. The mechanic only fixed the rear axle air bag so when I went to pick up a load I had already had to cancel I could not pull my load because my front axle air bag was leaking and you could hear the air from inside the truck and my PSI would not go above 100 which on those trucks, it will not let you switch from Neutral to Drive or Reverse. Also when they gave me my truck the mechanics did not torch down the bolts on my front axle drivers side in the back and my tires were coming off. All in all this company is the WORST and I mean that plus if you're not moving you're not getting paid which is a bummer. They don't pay you for your truck being down and with their response to your truck being down that could take forever and outside mechanics do not have good things to say about them. Reconsider VERY hard before you go to this company and choose someone else. I only worked here for a less than a week and I found a better job with a better company, soon as I saw what was going on I starting putting in other applications at other jobs so I could leave ASAP.

Our experience with Navajo was an absolute disaster from start to finish. We booked a load with Navajo expedited, but once the load was booked, their phone number stopped working entirely. No matter how many times we called, no one ever answered. It's incredibly frustrating to be left in the dark with no communication. If you need detention, don't even bother trying to contact them. They simply hide and avoid answering the phone, leaving you to give up in frustration. It's clear they have no intention of providing any support once they've secured your business. When we tried to get help, we were transferred to Navajo Express, only to find out they only deal with their own trucks. This added another layer of inconvenience and wasted time. We spent an entire day calling and emailing, trying to get a hold of someone—anyone—in the company, but to no avail. The lack of response is beyond ridiculous. To top it all off, we couldn't even get a pick-up number for our load. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. We strongly advise everyone to stay away from Navajo. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this company at all costs. Their lack of communication and support is not worth the headache.

DON’T do business with this company. Broker doesn’t not want to pay for moved loads, layovers or detentions. No one answers the phone or replies to email. Issues with obtaining the pick up numbers. Bunch of liars and thief’s. Avoid your self headaches, unless you want to work for free. Look at other reviews, I’m not the only one.

Brokerage charged us (Prime Road Carriers INC) $300 fee for driver not having tracking. Dispatch was all the time in contact with their team and updated them on a regular basis. Driver did accept the tracking but it didn't work from some reason. No one mentioned an issue with tracking. Bad business. We won't work with Navajo brokerage again

Navajo truck parked on a street in Aberdeen Washington in a place that was not safe and obstructed the view for other drivers pulling out on the street. Several drivers complained to the company with zero response. I have seen several reviews and didn't belive them until I dealt with it personally. When I called dispatch I offered several different places with avaliable parking that was safer for the truck and the other drivers in the area but didn't even get so Much as a call back.

Great company overall. Anytime there is a issue they handle it professionally and hands down the most respect I've received from a company in the year I've been with them. Like all truck companies most the business is handled during the day time so. They are way more professional then most these drivers on the road

I took a load from them in May 7th and it was supposed to get delivered on May 10th. When Costco was unloading they noticed two broken pallets due to the way it was placed and Costco sent us to get it fix. It wasn’t that bad and my driver just wanted to get home and so he ended up taking matters on his hands and got it fix. We communicated with Adrian A. And we told him to hold the appt and he didn’t do it, he went home for the weekend. We tried to get a hold of after hours team with no luck. Driver ended up staying there the weekend and on Monday we thought all was going to get fix and done deal, mannnnn…. I was soooo wrong. Adrian didn’t do nothing on Monday, instead he added useless Rhonda P, Jimmy D and the OS&D team, from all of them no one did anything until Wednesday after we had sent them a warehousemen paper, then Traci responded and we didn’t get an appt until May 17th. Okay all that done, now my payment is not getting sent, I’ve been emailing Traci and she is only saying she is waiting a response from her customer, like how far is your customer that he is not even answering??? 3 weeks that all this happened and still no money on my bank. STAY AWAY from his company, they are dishonest, liars, thief, and an embarrassment to the industry.

I've driven for a few different companies but what stood out about Navajo at this point in my career was how upfront and honest they were right off the bat. Everything my recruiter told me held up right through orientation, during paper work and on the road. Even on a lazy day it's easy to get close to 500 miles a day with 450 in one day if I'm not laying the hammer to my throttle. There fleet isn't fresh from the show room, but that isn't a deal breaker for me when the miles are there, and management treats me like a human being rather than a truck number. Haven't had any issues with many breakdowns so I can't speak honestly about their breakdown dept. Everyone is a treat to talk to back at the Denver yard, any issues I've had with sitting has been a shipper/receiver problem and not a Navajo problem. Dispatch is a treat to communicate with and I personally haven't had any issues. Trucking is trucking, and Navajo doesn't add to any of the problems associated with it.

I am here at Navaho Express to complete my orientarion and training so I can start to drive big rigs. I completed my CDL schooling at Excel Driver Services and passed my CDL class A at the end of July 2020. I want to drive locally but I dont have any verifiable experience as most local companies want at least 1 year of experience to keep their insurance premiums down. I've always been able to drive pretty much any vehicle automatic or manual. I was having a rough time finding a local driving job that didn't have me out for weeks at a time as I have 3 pets at home to take care of. My school recommended Navaho Express and I got the job! Just getting through orientation now and in about 5 or 6 weeks I will be in my own truck driving from Denver to Salt Lake City and home every other day. I am looking forward to this career change.

I'm 50 something and had several jobs in my life. In my opinion Navajo is the most crooked company I've ever worked for. I wouldn't advise anyone to apply for a job here. I've since moved on after almost 4 years. Don't trust anything they tell you.

It’s ok to get your start here and gain experience but you definitely won’t be banking much money! Navajo is one of the lowest paying places sadly and the international trucks and micro management has become unbearable in the past year!

You only go to Navajo only If you need the experience do you not care at all about home time about your personal life communication? Is non existenthe driver leaders are a joke? They double and triple stack you when they know you don't have the hours you ask for Hometown. They never give it to you if they do it is late. They pay poor 40 cents a mile. You are better going to Swift Transportation do not work for them. They are sinking ship and they don't want to admit it

Worked here for about a year. Started at the Denver location. I had the best DM ever!!! Unfortunately, I had a terrible/unrepairable truck. I spent more time in a shop than I did on the road. In the one year that I worked there, I didn't even make 30k yet I was always on time (or early) for both pick-ups and deliveries. Spent many a night in roach motels waiting on the truck to be repaired. The Denver shop was the worst. Would "look" at the truck, keep it for a while and then tell you it was repaired. The SLC shop wasn't any better. That's if they took you in at all. The Tolleson yard was the best but I've heard all the good mechanics quit. Good place for a 2nd chance driver to find a job. If your license isn't perfect, good chance you'll be hired here. But don't expect miles.

My husband works with them full-time I work for them only during the summers. The only company I've seen that lets me only work 2 months out of the year. They've always been great to my husband and i. He's been there 6 years and they've always been there for him in ways most companies would never be there for them. I'm very loyal to this company because the higher-ups have been loyal to me. I would always recommend Navajo to work for. I don't know about these other comments and why they say what they say, but I've always had a new truck and I've never had any issues like they have with navajo. I think Navajo is a great company to work for.

Pay is not top of the industry but they do pay for experience. The respect I receive and working environment is probably they best I've experienced. I've worked for a few big companies and if I could go back I would have started here at Navajo.. They are upfront and don't hide behind closed doors. Everyone has a opinion but it's what you make of it. If you give respect you will receive it here. No job or company is perfect.
