Why New Legend?

Why New Legend?

Legend Transportation began with just one vehicle and its founder, Sunny Samara. Sunny started driving in California at 22 and bought his own truck at 25, working for companies like Sysco Foods and U.S. Foods across the U.S. In 2008, he on his own founded Legend Transportation. Initially, we hired owner-operators with their own trucks. By 2012, started buying our own tractor-trailers.

Working for Legend has been an amazing experience. I was hired to do production work at their Phoenix Az distribution center. The facilities were all new, clean and comfortable. The people that work there treated me with the upmost respect and were very fun to get work with them. We achieve amazing results and I look forward to working with them in the near future. Blue Skies !!

I can’t give zero start if not I would well I I can’t give zero start if not I would well I was terminated from this company yesterday because I didn’t want to cary a load that was dangerous and refused to take pay cut but then had someone telling me they buying new trucks dosent make sense . Word in streets that they lost customers and ask us to take pay cut I refused they lost Home Depot account. So they gave me load to cali I was thinking they had my load to go home after my dm Chris kept lying to me saying your gonna get it just wait we looking. Phone cal woke me up I can’t remember his name telling me I was terminated I was still half asleep and said ok don’t think to ask why , but as the drowsiness wore of I ask hey so how yall gonna get me home he said that’s my problem. Truckers beware if they don’t care for you here. Dump u them u have to flip the bill to get home. was terminated from this company yesterday because I didn’t want to Cary a load that was dangerous They also lost customers and ask us to take pay cut I refused.

Truckers beware if they don’t care for you here. Dump u them u have to flip the bill to get home. A driver cut me off in Idaho and caused me to hard break so I would hurt him and damaged the trailer. These guys were mad I wouldn’t drive it like that and risk Indangerin people on road said you’ll make it then sent a young driver to take it I told him I’m not letting you take it , it wouldn’t be right he got a look at it and was mad they didn’t tell him how bad it actually was I understand it cost them to transload but if u wanted to terminate me for that be honest and at least give me a load to go home I would have respected that. if y’all dis the right thing. But this is legend they should change the name to No integrity trucking. THEY JUST RESPONDED SAYING THEY CARE ABOUT THERE DRIVERS NO THEY DONT ,DONT BE FOOLED GUYS I Have VIDEO OF THEM SAYING THEY DONT AND WIL BE POSTING VIA MOTHA TRUCKER

This company does some shady things and if you are looking to apply they are hiring. I heard about the mass firing they did a few weeks ago and they called me to take a pay cut to help company, they also said there will be more miles. I didn’t receive more miles i was averaging around 2200 miles/ a week and also getting tons of live loads and unloads and try to cut your money out. They also make huge promises in extra pay as they say they will give you a per diem but in my experience they just take the money back and give you a huge run around into why you don’t get it. They are a mess of a company always looking for cheap solutions and trying to make driver pay for all expenses for truck but never reimbursing you. The trucks are ok and most trailers aren’t well maintained so be aware and do your research before joining this company. I will say the good thing they had was a didn’t receive a bad Driver Manager they seem pretty good but thats the best thing they have going for them.

They send mechanics to disable my truck just to be terminated. 4 yrs driving here i never had complain here except for the miles same old reason freight slow. Safety sets 10 pts. rule that wasnt follow upon my termination and the reason is still at fault accidents. Dispatch didnt even call me and not even stand up at least to explain why. Downside: Low Mileage Poor Dispatch Communication. And Many More. Try this company and you'll find it out....

Just got terminated from this company. And only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the way they went about it. You don't send a mechanic to tell a driver they are being terminated. Had good runs and bad runs but that's trucking but a driver manager can't step up and tell a driver they are being terminated is a horrible practice no matter what and sending a mechanic to tell them is wrong

Butternutz is right..Chris was my last dm and the worst too. He is under the misguidnace of his boss Raman who is running drivers away right and left. Wish there was better to say bit the truth is they went down. I worked there for 1 year and it was good in the beginning but went to the dogs. Raman is good friends with the owner Sunny Samara so you're never going to win that fight. Too bad. Sad! A once good company turned on their drivers. They really do not care about the drivers at all and Cristian shouldn't even be a manager. He is not a people person and Raman . Enough said! Drivers stay away. They are no good for you here!!

I've been employed with Legend Transportation for almost five years, and have close to 25 years in the trucking industry. In a time when a lot of smaller and mid sized carriers are shutting their doors, or laying off employees.. Legend remains strong, and continues to grow. We have a lot to offer our drivers- Great equipment, competitive pay, great support staff, regular home time and miles! Drivers are also allowed to bring passengers and their pets on the road. You can' t make every driver happy, however I think we do a pretty great job! I am extremely proud to be a part of this amazing team.

I have grown with Legend over the past few years, starting as a recruiter, now recruiting Manager. Legend really values feedback from every side, and they take action to grow and improve where needed. We really try to focus on communication and integrity. I could not think of a better place to work. My team and co-workers are some of the most talented, and hardworking people I have ever worked with.

Listen to those who have been with the company for a bit. They start you off good then cut you down to making 300 a week paychecks. They put you up in nasty hotels with more hookers than a fisherman while you make nothing. Dispatch speak broken English and hard to understand and don't care about Americans. They hire trash off the road while saying you need experience. Don't fall for their lies. You don't matter to anyone in the offices or the owner

if you are looking for a job, this is not the place. Hands down worst company I have ever ran with. Always a fight to get miles and pay corrected. The driver manager they put me under has zero customer service skills. Have had to cuss him out and his boss on multiple occasions just to get what I am owed. The language barrier is atrocious. Not with everyone, but for the most part it is difficult to understand many. if you a re looking for a place that treats you like a number, then this is the place for you. If you you do decide to work for them, keep records, recordings, screen shots of everything. They like to play lets make a deal with pay. Considering the back round and culture of the owner, its no wonder. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!

To whom it my concern, I am writing to express my concern about the recruitment process for the OTR position at New Legend. I recently applied for this position and was disappointed with the way my application was handled. I have seven plus years of OTR experience all driven safely and in accordance with FMSCA ELD requirements. I had a medical issue and lost my CDL and then I went ahead and did all the required testing and got it back. Now I only have 4 months of experience from the last company that I had to quit because of personal family reasons and also not happy with the safety of the last company. I also told the recruiter I use a CPAP machine which I would think companies would appreciate since it really helps my sleep and deal with changing hours of over the road driving. The recruiter did not know if the trucks had inverters to use this machine so I would not run to work anyway. I am a qualified candidate for this position. I am confident that I have the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in this role. However, the recruitment process has made me question whether [company name] is a company that I want to work for. I am urging you to review and improve your recruitment process. A positive recruitment experience is essential for attracting and retaining top talent. I hope that you will take my feedback seriously and make necessary changes. Does experience not matter or would you rather have someone with 6 months or a year of experience when I have 7. Plus proven years of loyal service. And 4 months of recent over the road with the same company that I drove for three times and at over 10,000 mi a month. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Joe Kampa

The cat who owns this company seems to know what he's doing. Taking a play book from Sam Walton. A very smart man who knew how to run a business. First take care of your customers. Then take care of your driver's. This is a fair company. Good equipment, good miles, and very good pay. I've been out on this road 36 years. Alot of the companies I've worked for have gone out of business. I can give u new truckers some good advice. Always leave yourself an out. But understand how trucking works. If you didn't come out here to run. Pack it in. Mother trucking will give you everything. But as much as she gives she can take. Recap Always leave yourself an out. Jarvis gave a great orientation at Phoenix. I'm packing it in very soon. Retirement. But I wish you all well and happy 😊 trails.

They're doing what most other trucking companies are doing. Not hiring ! These companies have lost half their customers because of the slowed down economy and the fact that nothing but groceries are selling right now. But companies like this enjoy knowing there's drivers out there willing to work, if they had any customers. They'll call you in for an interview along with about 20 other drivers seeking employment but since they have half the amount of customers needing to move freight, they aren't gonna hire you. Stay at home and save yourself the inconvenience. 🤣😆🤣

Unless You're Doing OTR You won't get a new Truck also dispatch is a mess always canceling loads and lying about it saying customers cancel when they give it to another driver. the first few weeks you'll get someone that you understand then you get some dispatchers that are in a foreign country that don't even know what's going on so they can't ever help you. after-hours is a joke nobody is there to really help.

Miles are inconsistent, too many drivers, the company expanded too fast and now there isn't enough freight to go around. Mostly relay loads to drop yards.

In have been working at Legend for about a year as a Regional Driver. I have great communnication with and respect from my D.M. Anytime I need something, they are always willing to help and make it a priority. Everyone at Legend is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They leave you alone and let you do your job.... drive. They don't call you constantly to discuss your mistakes. They really only call you if it's something important. I've made plenty of mistakes here, but they are very understanding and treat you with respect. For orientation, they cover all your expenses; travel to and from orientation, providing you with a nice hotel and some meals. I really enjoy working here. The cpm could be a little better, but that is the only thing. Everything else is 5 stars!

Been here for a few months so far and I can't complain. I'm getting good miles every week and usually home 10-20 hours before my 70 to take my reset. Any trucking job comes down to having a good relationship with your dispatcher, but be ready to drive here because they keep you moving. I'm almost always dispatched on my next load before I even deliver so you'll most likely be driving about 11 hours a day here.

I have driven for New Legend for nearly 3 years and it's been a good fit for me. They don't micromanage me and usually the average miles per load are 1,200+. If you don't need to have your hand held or require fancy terminals then it could be a good fit. Recently, my load miles have been getting shorter and there has been too much time on loads. It's got me looking around.

It’s not bad just don’t expect to have a life. The money is there. New trucks plus decent pay. Just no work life balance , I would be on my 34 and get called by my DM to do a local load or two. Which is good for extra money on your check but it gets old and tiring. I barely had time to relax on my 34s as I would be given early appointments the same day of ending my 34
