This is about orientation in Shepherdsville Kentucky. The place feels like a prison. Concrete walls no windows. No private showers or bathrooms. Your dwelling during orientation consist of a bed dresser dim lit lamp and TV. They require a new physical even if yours is up to date and seems like they try to force c pap machine on you. Recruiters do not prepare you for the conditions. Instead they lie about it.

The worst Company ever at first started off good. The recruiter orientation the first dispatcher was great but wen they switch my dispatcher she came off aggressive and rude, but I tried to be cool with her. I asked them to switch me with a different dispatcher so I guess she didn’t like that she for a reason to write me up I had to leave

R903 whoever drives this truck needs to be retrained at the minimum I would take away their CDL stopping in the middle of the road in the merge where only one lane is open is by far unacceptable not only did this driver back up traffic for 10 minutes doing God knows what but then he couldn't even maintain the speed limit to get traffic rolling again at the post and work zone speed limit going 20 mph under it. This driver is going to cause an accident your safety department needs to get on this.

Awful drivers your company have, got an encounter with one in snellville,ga. Old white dude got mad becuase on a heavy traffic day and also red light, the car in front of him moved so i saw space to change lanes which i did, i was in my motorcycle and i keep my left and he went forward to put his front tired next to me where i can feel the heat of the motor and start telling me he will run me over, he was an inch close to hit the car in front of me, glad i wasnt carring or i will of take that as a threat. by the way he perfectly saw me, and i was out of his way, i have video proof.

Been driving for Summitt for a year now. As an O/O if you won't to run hard you will. The dispatchers are really good ppl ( night dispatch there's one or two that doesn't won't to be there seems like but a majority of them are there if you need anything. I really can't say anything bad about my experience with them. Great company great work atmosphere. I made good money with the miles I ran.

I’ve been with summitt as a team for almost six months. Very family oriented and care for their drivers. Haven’t had any issues with freight and 90% drop and hook. Very rarely we have to live load or unload. Which in turn keeps you moving. Been home every time we have asked to be. Thanksgiving, Christmas, death or emergency at home, or just to go home for a 34 to hug our kids. Can definitely see me retiring from this company.

In my 29 years of driving tractor trailer, Summitt is one of the best companies I've ever driven for. They ALWAYS have a pre-plan on me and there are plenty of miles to be had. Also, I have no problem getting home time when I need it each month. Very good company and VERY friendly staff.

The company is flexible and understanding when unexpected situations arise. However, the low pay, lack of overtime, and absence of raises make it stressful. Employees work every fifth Saturday for standard wages. While the work environment is generally good, driver meetings should be held monthly to address concerns. Pay plays a crucial role in retaining good drivers. Daily operations fluctuate—some days are hectic, while others are slow, with a significant focus on brokered loads and locating empty trailers.

I initially loved working here, but changes in management and personal challenges affected my job assignments. While I can't definitively say management was bad, the significant shift in my work led me to seek employment elsewhere. However, I still highly recommend the company, particularly for team drivers.

The company offers outdated equipment with high mileage, including rusty trailers. Reaching 2,500 miles per week is nearly impossible. Although management is reasonable and easy to talk to, I wouldn't recommend working here—unfortunately, my driving record limits my options.

This company is unreliable. The trucks and trailers are outdated, and drivers constantly idle to avoid battery failures. Pay is insufficient, and management dismisses employee concerns. Orientation feels restrictive, and there aren’t enough trailers available. If you’re considering employment here, keep searching—you can find better opportunities.

Recruiters were transparent about job conditions. Employees enjoy daily home time and good pay, and dispatchers are approachable. Equipment is decent, and reported issues are promptly addressed.
