Been working with these guys as a broker for over a year now, phenomal company. All drivers ive spoken with are very professional, well spoken and represent this company well. All around great service and someone you can trust your freight with. A+ service - also drivers i have spoken with mention they enjoy working for Z over other bigger carriers - if your considering moving freight with Z you will be happy you did

Z transportation is not just a trucking company. It's a place to call home. Everyone here treats you with respect and as if you were family. The home time is amazing and they constantly try to improve the company especially for the driver. This is my home. I have never worked for a company that was this caring and amazing. The miles and pay are great. As with any company we have our slow weeks and our busy weeks but it averages out well. Dispatch is continuously working on ways to keep you moving and does a fantastic job getting you home when you need it. If you cut me I will bleed Z transportation. They are my family. This truly is a great place to work. I hope I retire here. Can't say enough good things about working here. It is well deserved. Thanks for letting me continue to be a part of it.

I currently work here and I'm a brutally honest person. I try to be anyway. Let me start by saying no company is perfect. I've been driving over 8 years and I've been around a little bit. There are always pluses and minuses with each company. Depending on one's preferences. Here I would say the pluses outweigh the minuses. There are plenty of miles to be made for those that live to drive. Only mandatory 2 weeks out before going home. Plus they have no issue allowing you to take extended home time if needed. Safety is responsive and accounting is very helpful. Advances are available whenever needed. Planning could use some improvement especially when it's time to go home, especially if you love in the south. This is the only company I know that only plans mon-fri 8am to 4pm. If you're not booked before Fri at 4pm you're done until Mon at 8am when they'll then start looking for a load. When you need to go home for any specific reason you need to tell them your desired day is 2 days prior to the actual day or you may risk being late. The other issue I have is that me personally don't like driving the northeast. Anywhere above Virginia but no matter how much I voice this that's where they keep me. That's all they know. If you don't like the northeast this is not the company for you. For this reason alone I think I may be gone before the snow and ice returns. That aside, for people that just don't care, just want to run and get miles, they'd be perfect. Trucks are governed at 68. And one last thing, when it comes to maintenance, the company doesn't like to spend money outside. Unless it's a dire situation you're going to have to get a load somewhere near their only shop in New Jersey. Going anywhere outside is almost a cardinal sin. They're very tight on what they spend outside the company.

It's been over 18 monts,since i joined Z transportation and so far everything is beyond my expectations. From dispatch and management,through safety and maintenance,it feels like a family. Pay is exceptional and miles are good too. Home time is plenty and they make everything possible to get you home when you need it! Bottom line,i am planing to retire with them!

I've only given 3 stars because I'm not hired yet. Talked to a recruiter this evening. He said he'll get back with me tomorrow. Really hope he does and this isn't one of the companies that say that then ghost you. Everything sounds amazing and the reviews reflect that. Really looking forward to working with Z.

They have always worked with me with any reasonable request . I run Regional home weekly , but sometimes I will stay if I need the extra miles. You can run how You like & they will try to make You Happy.. Home Weekly or 2-4 weeks out ,however You choose.. The Office Personals are Professional & Courtesy. They do their very best in keeping drivers Running & Happy ..They Have Excellent Equipment & schedule maintenance, to keep Trucks in Excellent Condition. Give Them a Call & Talk with Recruiting..

Been here about 6 months. Every company has their flaws. Things could always be better, but overall, Z Transportation good to work for. I can't complain. Pay is good. Great miles some weeks and good miles other weeks. No issues with dispatch, they allow me to run when I want and don't force me to run at night or during adverse weather conditions. I would recommend Z to other drivers

They deny the app and I don’t even know why the record is clean, the recruiter is asked several times and doesn’t provide information. Abandonment of equipment it is seen that the answer you sent is generic they do not have to say anything if for me it gave zero stars and they must have trained employees in the recruitment area. Because what you’re offering is the same as the market, nothing superior

I've been with the Z Transport family for over two years and have nothing but positive things to say about them. I've only had two dispatchers over this period, and both have been incredibly dedicated to finding the greatest loads and routes that meet my schedule and personal needs (all while making me great money too). The safety team is always in touch to warn about dangerous road/weather conditions, which makes me feel not just safe but also like someone genuinely cares about their drivers. All of this is topped off with the owner, who will never hesitate to call out if any concerns develop. Who could ask for anything more? Fantastic firm, fantastic owner, fantastic money, simply fantastic! It comes highly recommended.

The worst company I have ever seen in trucking. What they are advertising on social media and when you talk to their recruiters, what they are telling; are way different. The recruiters are rude and unprofessional. They don’t even give you a precise answer if you ask them. I would not recommend a professional truckers or anyone who is serious in this industry.

This rating well probably be deleted shortly after posting! I worked for Z Trans for about 90 days and I've got to tell you that they look promising with top pay benefits and the such. My experience with this company was, to say the least, very disappointing! Most of my time was setting waiting on another load. I'm talking about setting for 23.5 hrs, 24 hrs and longer. And the kicker for you is when you've had enough and return the truck, get a rental car you will not be reimbursed for your expenses. Don't do it!

Z transportation are amazing people and they stand behind there drivers 100 percent. making the transition to them was a excellent experience. Mike Neal was the worker responsible for me and he was great could not ask for better, he was there for anything I needed literally food hotels money to get started on the road great employe. They put me in a brand new Peterbilt 579 and brand new trailer I love this company. Miles are good they will keep you running if u can keep up. If your looking for a company that goes above and beyond for there drivers plus great pay look no further here they are. If u have any questions reach out to me I'm a driver with 10 years experience and this is the best company I have ever worked for.

Bella in recruiting was very professional and made my application process, drug testing screening, travel to orientation stress free.
