Where to start after they run you and expect you to drive for 5 to 6 days.and you try to get off night shift. They fire you for hitting the medium and saving the truck and trailer. I would been better off saving my self. Cause I've been off work since . I put all I had into this job and got the boot when they didn't need me anymore. Also they side it was my fault for the deer that ran into me. And made me pay for the tow bill. For the 3 years I had tried to get on with this company. It wasn't worth it to me. But it's just not for me. I tried local and it's not for me. But over all it was a good company to work for if you can get passed all the other.

My 4 week Venture went as follows. Received my second week(full) check for 62 hours. Called payroll, no overtime pay!? Called HR to confirm and no "we are not required overtime pay for local drivers." Gave them a 2 week notice. Horrid company.

Driver blew through a red light going at least 20 over at 2am on Nissan Drive on 11/4/16. I had an arrow, but hesitated to go, which was lucky because he'd have barreled into me. Guess he decided since there were only two of us at the light and no one else around that he could ignore traffic laws.

Venture Express has old, old, raggdy old trucks and trailers. I do not recommend this trucking company to anyone. In addition, the company ELD and accounting system do not reflect your hours of service or your actual time working your 11/14. You will loose money and waste your time here.

Extremely family based company, great work life balance, pay is decent for local work. I have special needs son and they have literally been the most flexible company with kids sick, or getting sick they understand life happens, no write up for being human. They have governed trucks, @65. But you get paid hourly so they are paying you to take your time and be safe, communication is key with any company but I have always been made to feel valuable by each member of the company.

What is the best part of working at the company? Pretty cool company, I mean when ypu see one trucking company you pretty much seen em all.. Just depends on the account you're placed on and you're personal preferences. Pay varies by account, etc.. The account closed that I was doing so I opened my own business. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Seat slipping.. I don't like sharing trucks with nasty people who don't care about the truck or job. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It depends on which account you are placed to serve. Normal day, pick up and deliver.. either OTR or local if you choose..

A horrible company don't pay overtime only get a 25 cent raise twice a year and starting pay is only $20 an hour that is too low for a commercial truck driver in the world we live in today truck driving is a profession and a career and you should be paid just as well as anyone else with a career or profession What is the most stressful part about working at the company? No overtime pay no office no human resource on site What is the work environment and culture like at the company? There is not much of one you just come to work and hope nothing goes wrong to where you have to call anyone to help What is a typical day like for you at the company?

This could be such an easy job. Everything is set up perfectly for a drivers success except a lack of trailers. Finding an empty trailer to begin a day or route is like pulling teeth. There are so few trailers available that often loads are cancelled leaving the driver without a day of pay or late to appointments due to lack of trailer management. Trucks are in great shape. Only issue is with trailers. Just get more or cut back on routes to avoid wasting drivers time.

Horrible equipment wanted me to go on duty while driving so I could make a 640 mile run in a 64 mph truck in 11 hours. I was in 6 different trucks in 12 days. My first day the did not have a venture truck for me. It was a rental. You would thank a company could get you a running truck to drive on your first day. The first truck they got me would not pass a dot inspection. It just goes on on cut my losses had to move on. Tired of these bad companies that get you in the door waist 3 Weekes of your time. And then it looks bad on your employment record. But I not getting a ticket because I am in bad company equipment.
