Great second chance company to work for I thought my career was over for a refusal for a random drug screen in 2021 but I googled the internet and came across this company put in the application and on 11/23 they gave me a second chance and my experience here has been going very well so far the money,the home time no real issues with either.and this is coming from a driver who's been driving for a few BIG companies in my 10yr career think this just might be best company I've driven for..thank you SWEET EXPRESS for the opportunity 02/08/2024

Great company to work for. I got fired but it was my fault and will not say a bad word about this place. Had many staff as friends like Chris carleson who sadly passed away at an early age. It was an awesome atmosphere to be in.

Only know what I've been told about this company.. basically a 2nd chance spot.. but this post isn't about that.. I understand companies need drivers but please look at your soon to be drivers. In VA today and stood behind one of your drives, please pay him extra to pay for a shower and maybe a comb. It was rough

I had a bad experience with Sweet Express office and driver Andrew P. He abandoned his truck in our parking lot for days prior to a bad snow storm. I contacted Sweet and was told the truck would be moved before the storm. After the storm I found the truck plowed in the our parking lot. When I contacted the driver he was rude about it. In the end texting me he hopes I hit a bridge abutmentand and die. I found that disturbing. Be careful out there with this company allowing these type of drivers behind the wheels of their trucks.

They are a good company that tries to keep you busy. Usually runs about 2000 to 2500 miles per week. Mix of heavy and light loads, contract out and broker loads back in. They don't like taking toll roads, but who blame them. They have been fair to me, did the best they They could.

Absolutely one of the best companies I’ve worked for! Only a handful have gotten a 5 star review from me and these guys are one of those lucky ones! They pay great. They have great miles. The office staff is awesome and friendly. The owner is one of the most down to earth people out there. He believes in respect for his employees.

I have been with Sweet express for a little over a year. In that year I was honestly a little worried because of previous experiences at other companies. I have found a very comfortable family environment at the office, everyone is so nice! the trucks here are well maintained. If i need anything on my truck I call my DM and they will make sure my truck is taken care of asap. Safety is important to this company. They never ask you to drive over your hours, and plan loads very well with the time you have available on your clock. If you want to drive they will keep you going! I average 3000 miles per week, some weeks are less some are more depending on hours, or things like maintenence, or repairs but they pay for breakdown and layovers so it doesnt doesn't hurt too much in the paycheck. If I ask for hometime the answer is always "no problem, when do you want to go home" just have to be reasonable... They'll work with you in an emergency. I can talk all day about the good things Ive experienced here, I dont have any negative things to say. Im sure other people have other experiences here but this has been my experience so far. I plan on retiring here and maybe staying after retiring if theyll let me lol Overall Im very happy to work for Sweet Express

I’ve had an overall great experience working here. Love the people I work with. There are some things very recently I’m not very happy with but I won’t state them here. Is what it is. EDIT… when they’re done with you they’re done. Open door grievance policy? RIGHT!!!!they could care less about your grievance. Just want u to produce no matter what it cost you. Cut drivers pay and dispatch still has the nerve to be disrespectful to us? I don’t think so.

I been driving for sweet express for 3 yrs and I can say they are a great company. They have the miles and pay treat you great and very understanding. My only complaint is that they give us a real driver lounge that we can use at all times. It will be very handy for us drivers at nights and on weekends. Hopefully that’s something in the future cause they are always improving and making things better for us

If you are someone who is out of SAP program and you are a safe professional driver they will take you. But you have to be someone who is willing to work hard and safe. This company gave me a a chance when everyone ignored me , I will never refuse or complain about the job even if it hard sometimes bcz they are nice ppl.

When I left the company, I made SURE to park the truck on the yard AND I cleaned THAT truck AND another that I drove. After a little fuss I got my pet deposit back. Ups and downs like any place else. People are friendly. Not a bad place to work as a company driver. Idk about the lease side.

Spent about $200 and they only gave me back 100 and didn’t want to get that, Also they couldn’t even give me a room for one night before you go here make sure you get everything that they owe u the first day

You'll be taken for granted. They are desensitized to drivers because they see so many come and go. They look down on the driver but fake a smile. Everyone from the janitor up is your boss. Everything is pencil whipped and manipulated into being the drivers fault. If your delivery is late because you breakdown, they still file it as service failure in your file. They recently cut everyone's pay a substantial amount. They said recession.

Decent company to drive for. Cons is low pay and low miles. But that's the nature of the beast with out current economy and pulling a dry van. I don't have a bad thing to say, it's just time to move on for a better position

They need better management as a whole especially regional side they’ll tell you one thing then do the total opposite just to get you to do what they want if they just hired the right people on the management side this could be a decent company but once you have a disagreement with any of the driver managers they start giving you the bad loads so you can’t make any money

See title. Dispatchers are a hit or miss whether they give you enough miles/micromanage/harass etc. No need to schedule any medical appointments at home because they will be missed. Company promised holiday pay. That was a lie.
