But there is also a fairly new thread about them on Bad Trkn Companies,-Be careful man !!!!
-
Thanks Bumpy and Rookie....
I did see that "bad trucking report" and wonder if it can be as bad as that suggests....it probably is
Those safety numbers do seem bad -
I cant believe they are still in business with the thousands of dollars in fines they had to pay the DOT from audits!!

I live in Waterloo and I have seen their trucks around here. I applied there back a few months ago, and did not hear back from them. Not sure if they are regional, but I think they are , otherwise I would not have applied to them.
They have been around here for quite some time. I am not sure why their stats are not so good. They have quite a few units, and they seem to grown in size over the years.
How did you get hooked up with them?
How long is their orientation?
Where do you stay during orientation? -
I worked for them for 3 weeks 2300 miles was the most i got and talking with other drivers thay said thay were luckey to get 1800 miles and thay wont pay for scaling loads out unless it over 43000 lb gps tracking matching it to the logs so by the book 100%..detition pay whats that..6hrs in a dock hmm.plus if you quit or get fired within 90days thay want you to pay back bus ticket hotel drug screen and physical about $300 dollars for wasting your time. dispatch is nice group of people but that dont pay the bills\

when i do return in late december early january i plan on using gray as a backup plan.......if orientation does not work out at USXpress or Sharkey transport I will go with Gray (USxpress brings alot of people to orientation and sends them home) -
maybe its because I came from Werner but all those things you mentioned don't seem that bad - lol....I would have loved to average 1800.. the only thing you mentioned that worries me is you only worked for them for 3 weeks? Is that because you needed more miles? I also don't like that pay em back 90 days policy, that is garbage! -
yes i need more than 2000 a week at 34 cpm thats a gross 680 hell i made more than that in 1991,if i dont get 2500 in a week im having a bad week, you can match tolls and fuel recepts and still log 3000+ in a week leaving on sunday and getting in on friday just need the runs to do it with
iaretea222 Thanks this. -
Gray Sucks, pick another #### bag company. There trucks are like ####. NO direct deposit or payroll card. You have to mail them your trip sheets with you own stamps and envelopes. Paid by paper check only. They lied about pay.
Today I was told by Darrin Gray, that I was not good enough to work for them. To many jobs he said. Please look at my concerns about this company on Rip Off Report.com. By the way, I have a perfect driving record.
