Driver of this truck was really rude and uncalled for. Blares horn because I had to turn. Then comes in the same parking lot as me thowing up his middle finger at me. Then comes in the store swearing at me and tells me to take all the pictures I want so I did. He's diving a giant billboard with your company information plastered all over it. I am waiting to get a phone call back from the company about this incident. I really should juat call the cops on him. Not acceptable for a man to threaten a woman.

Wish I could give it a ZERO. You do NOT want to drive for this incompetent mess. I'm just warning you all. 19 years and they keep screwing me. Less loads, less vacation (they stole the Sr. guys vacation - 5 weeks to 3!!! Transwood, Brian Woods and his associates are incompetent! Their trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. Good luck guys...it will backfire on ya. lol

I was parking my truck and one of their drivers came out of his truck cursing me and used hard foul language simply because the truck sound woke him up when I was packing up. I apologised to him but he kept calling me names and threatened me that in the morning he will do something to teach me a lesson. He is a bad image for this company and for the record of the company to teach their drivers show to behave, his truck number attached. 08/09/2022 @ 7:55pm

I have never used this service, but I can tell you I never will after seeing how the truck drivers treat other drivers. After watching one of their truck drivers run a car off of the road and the vehicle I am in. On Sunday oct 7, 2018 at about 2:00 pm In Loudon TN the traffic on 75 was stopped. So everyone was getting off at the exit. Well knowing that every trucker has a GPS and CB radios, he knew about the stop on 75 and the back up getting off at the exit. So instead of getting in line with every other car he decides to wait until he gets right at the exit to get off. At that point he started to push a Honda CR-V off of the road and when he seen the Honda was not going to be bullied by him he tried pushing the vehicle I’m in off. Then honking as if we done something wrong. I tried to call the main office with no answer because it was not normal business hours. So if the drivers are ok with jeopardizing people’s lives just think about what they will do with your items.

I contacted TransWood Inc. when I was in the market for companies transporting dry ash across the Midwest. I was referred to TransWood by another company that uses them frequently to move shipments. I was very satisfied with their level of professionalism, their personable staff, and the rates that they quoted for my loads.

I would never recommend this company. A TransWood driver tried to push me out into oncoming traffic on a busy city intersection in Omaha NE on December 9th 2021. When I would not pull out into the traffic, he laid on the horn. When I was finally able to go, he proceeded to pull out in front of traffic. I then observed the driver go through a red light on the same busy street. I called the office to report the driver and was put through to a voice mail and my message was never returned. If you care about safety, go with another carrier.

This place has the worst management I have ever saw. Some of their employees are very clickish and constantly suck up to management. For someone looking on the outside it’s very obvious. But some don’t even try to hide it. They also have driver facing Lytx cameras and management uses them to constantly nitpick every little thing you do. Especially those that don’t “bend the knee”. Don’t waste your time, avoid this place like the plague if you value your sanity.

Your not gonna make 1300 Even if you have a good week you’ll get stiffed somewhere and still only get the minimum and on days of garbage runs you’ll make 16.70hr. That is not class A pay.

Transwood in Tulsa, OK was a good place to work. The terminal manager, dispatchers, and shop personnel were always pleasant to be around. Whenever I had any maintenance issues with the tractor or a trailer, the terminal manager and someone in the shop were always able to take care of it quickly. I can recommend Transwood Tulsa as a good place to look into.

Not only do you work for Transwood you also work for cyanco, they pay a portion of your salary. You also have multiple mine sites to deal with (multiple mine sites, multiple bosses) did I mention that cyanco pays a portion of your salary? You simply don't just work for Transwood. Steer clear!! Turnover is thru the roof!!

They will work you to the bone and rely on just 1 driver to do everhthing because they can’t keep drivers and the ones they do keep they chew them up like gum until the flavor is gone and then spit them out… you literally have to put your job first and family second do not work here! The pay is terrible and the schedule is a nightmare it’s unpredictable your literally on call 6 days a week

Consitant schedule, consistant pay, long hours to meet delivery schedule. Unable to get time off when you REALLY need it. Equipmet is well maintained and safety is always first. Some weeks are better than others but you will always put in near maximum hours allowed by law.

I can't speak for other terminals but the Augusta GA terminal is terrible. They don't care about the driver. They will run your tail into the ground until your just completely exhausted physically and mentally. Dispatch is a joke. Constantly messing up your pay, claiming you already got paid for a load then take it back out of your next check. Always forgetting something on your check hoping you won't catch it. They are real big on early morning loads (anywhere from midnight to 3 or 4 am). I would not recommend this company. You'll make money but it will come with a price.

Company full of lies and no regards for the driver. The guaranteed minimum is taken away at their will if you don't do every little thing. Don't expect a steady schedule. It's all about the company. The trucks are filthy and powerless. Possibly the worst place I've ever worked.

Honestly it’s the best trucking job I have ever had. Worse part is it can be early dispatch so if you aren’t into 13:00 starts “for example” might want to look else where. Manager is amazing, trucks are well maintained, loads pay good and are good loads for the most part. I highly recommend Transwood in Charleston TN. Has a family environment in my honest opinion. It’s simple learn your job an perform it to the best of your ability an you will succeed with this company!

Stay away from this company at all cost. Management will lie to your face and they have no clue of the daily operations that happen at a terminal but want to control the operation from another desk. The position in Roanoke has been open for a long time because they are a joke and the regional is a joke as well.
