I've been waiting to share my experience with Wider Group. I've been here since December 2023 and overall it's all good. Pay weekly. I average 2500miles-3500miles a week...I get home time when the shippers load on time. Dispatch communicates pretty well. HR is awesome! Nothing is super perfect tho....I was paid late twice and even tho I delivered freight I lost paperwork and I will not be paid for that load. I'm a regional driver, I don't go more then 500 miles away from Chicago. The truck I have is pretty cool no big issues at all and I've driven almost 100K miles already. If you're looking to make a lil money and keep rolling give Wider Group a chance you won't be disappointed. One thing tho comes to mind...I've been driving since 2008...never no accidents on my record and I'm 94% on time...I make 65 cent a mile but I'm well worth 70-80 cents a mile. Gonna ask for a raise soon 👍🏾
This company is clearly not it they are having obvious issues with there company preach all this pay benefits etc when it comes down to it they straight up lie ur typical Eastern European company do no recommend at all not professional company nor do they hold there word at all do not recommend driving or doing any business with these scammers
I really look forward to seeing these guy's.They are very Pleasant and hard-working! Prompt and always smiling. See you guys next week. Keep up the awesome work.
Great company to work for thanks for the opportunity widergroup
I’m going to give 3 stars because maybe it was just my luck HOWEVER, the safety time Iliyana and I think his name was Tim, as well as the dispatcher Anthony were great! Marlin the maintenance manager was cool as well. The owner, well that’s where my issue was. You are supposed to get 1 week free on a truck payment. He knocked off half the payment for one week. I never really got a fair shake and I gave them 5 weeks worth of chances and did everything I was told. The trucks all had minor issues but due to shops being full etc. they swapped me out. 5 weeks there and I was in 4 different trucks from international to freightliner to finally a good truck a Volvo that had no issues except ELD. So then they made me then switch to ANOTHER one. I usually stay on the road a while so moving in and out was a hassle. THEN. Running a whole week I should not have had a $66 check. Not one week did I make remotely close to what they said I should so I had to part ways. I would have stayed if I got paid. Conversation and honesty is what I’m about from the military til now. Your choice if you want to go with them but PRETRIP your truck and make sure you are paid what you are told.
Great company, I recommend them to anybody that wants a great company or lease purchase opportunity. 4yrs down for me here at Wider Group Inc and they changed my life PeriodT! $$$$
Very professional and respectful. They handled all unforeseen issues that popped up and made sure to stay in touch to answer any questions or be available if needed. Will be using these guys in the future
I LOVE the entire Wider Group team! They are super professional and responsive. They put so much work into taking care of their drivers. Keep up the awesome work!
The team at wider group are really good people to work with and Dispatchers and managers are Professionals they create a pretty much Stress free environment. I love my job!
So far so good,wife and are very happy here....been here 2weeks and everything that was told to has been true and correct,we are looking fwd to being here till we hang it up...Ana is great with disputing us and keeping us moving, The Greer team 🙂
Good company to work for! You run how you want too, no forced dispatch! If you need help with anything just call! They would work anything out with you at their best! I been an owner op with them for a lil over 15 months. So far I can’t complain
DO NOT CARRY FOR THIS COMPANY. Dispatchers are inexperienced and liars. Management is incompetent and uninterested in the well being of the drivers. My truck and driver sat for days without a load several times. No money made with the company after being OTR for 6 weeks. They are looking to take money out of the carriers pocket at every turn. This company is a scam. Bottom of the barrel.
One of the better companies out there. They got their own issues getting to know how you want to run but nothing bad to say. They keep to their word and pay what they promise. I saw alot of reviews that bashed this company. If you like running this is the place
If you are a driver,stay away from this one.they are pimps.they will keep you out for weeks at a time and take all of your money. Just a warning try them out and see for yourself. This was the truck I had,it's no good,APU is Corroded I had it looked at Ryder and they couldn't even fix it.To many things to list that was just wrong with this company.
I worked here for about three weeks they randomly called me in the office after home time and fired me. They said the reason was neither one of us was making money from the lease. That’s fine but they stranded me in Chicago and kept trying to make me get out of the truck with all of my stuff in it. After all of that I apply at other places and they start telling people they fired me like I’ve done something wrong. This has been a major setback for me all because I came to work here. So if you are thinking about doing that don’t. Literally ruined my trucking career so far.
I worked for wider for 7 months and for the most part they are ok, scale of 1-10 I'd give them a 6. But the last month that rating dropped to a 4 due to changes in their mgt ranks and especially very poor communicating. They put off work on the truck 3 times to cover loads until the tires almost came off the wheels. They use what is called driveaxle where you take pics of BOL and send them in but it works about 50,% of the time and then payroll says " missing paperwork" so you don't get paid for all the loads in a pay week. They do have some dedicated accounts but mostly it's broker freight. Trucks are ok, they all are penske lease trucks , they don't have a shop. I was selected to run walmart loads and be at a class on a Saturday, I was notified on Tuesday. I get to walmart and 10 minutes before class I had to have padlocks fir their trailers and the person in charge never told me about this and had to go buy padlocks which I wasn't pleased about in which they had 4 days to tell me before I showed up. It's not a great company but it's not a poor one either.
This company is worst. They lie too much. In beging they told us 5000 miles. When we start working there they just keep lie us.
Good company to work for u can make good money with them I did thier lease and made good money whenever I had a issue they work to solve it I left because of personal reasons definitely recommend this company
Wider group is awesome there all wonderful they treat you like family everyone there they are for the drivers i would recommend them to anyone we have a big family thanks to wider for showing us they care so come over to wider and get treated like family and not a number there wonderful and they love our dog lol there a wonderful family to work for THEY CARE FOR THE DRIVERS
Huge Thiefs: They are the worst company to driver for They will give you a broken truck from an auction and have you paid a fix it as you go along After they put a fresh inspection stick around it and don't even check if the brakes are working They do not give you recons because they Double broke their drivers If You don't know what double broking is It's when they get a price from the broker And they tell you a second price that's lower and they're taking 20% from you And something off the top of the load
What is the best part of working at the company? The people you work with make you feel welcome and try to solve all of your problems What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Getting on time for long hauls
Something is very wrong.. The communication has stopped well with me anyway with them I don't understand it I'm having a lot of problems and I can't even get in contact with management so I guess I have to find my way through the cracks and crevices because the driver managers are not doing their jobs especially this one that I have now as of the end of May not going to call no names but they know who he is.
The pay is good and they take care of their equipment. The dispatch are cool and they pay for flights, hotels, etc. Pet friendly and we had no problems with the company at all
Good company for lease drivers and company drivers alike. Great miles for company guys and good take home pay for lease drivers year round freight and great hometime no forced dispatch
Over 25 years in the industry I’ve never seen a more unprofessional crooked organization in my life. You’d be a fool to go anywhere near this place nothing but liars and crooks
Great energy , great people .... I can honestly say they are not your typical transportaion company. Always helpful and willing to listen . I can honestly say I have found my place where I am retiring
As an owner op I can say that I have made a great decision coming here. Adding my third truck pretty soon . Wife is happy I see her every week soo... I cant be going anywhere else in near future
What can I say about Wider besides that I cannot be happier that they kept me busy even during these unprecedented times.. Pre-booked every single week.. Steady paycheck... Steady lanes... LOVE IT .
Love working here. Starting from the people, the atmosphere and culture ! They treat drivers like part of the family . Anyone even thinking about whether should they work here or not .. I can tell you Wider Group is the real deal !
I have joined Wider 3 months ago... so far it has been the best decision in my life. People here go above and beyond to help you out when you need money or home time. Operations team has been nothing but understanding and professional. To anyone even considering working here as a driver I would be more than happy to provide them with answers to all of their questions.. Dispatch is actually routing you home when you ask for and at the same time they do keep track of your earnings so that whenever you get out you know there isn't a big hole in your settlements. I LOVE MY DISPATCH DON !
My experience with wider group is great. Everyone is there is great.You get to drive the truck you want to own. Not really set up for team but great solo runs. You can make money if you're willing to work for it.
Equipment is terrible, dirty, and company has no maintenance shop. They charge $143.00 dollar trailer fee even though drivers never use ANY of their trailers. They refuse to give you freight bill/rate compensation sheet, as they steal ALL drivers settlements weekly. No freight & dispatchers are Russian/European overseas. SCAM.
Seem to be new to the trucking industry. They try to rush and pick up loads and not enough DOT hours left on the clock. They had no idea of drive times. Dispatch was not from America so did not know the geography of the area.
