Shepherd Enterprise LTD, Commerce City, Co

Sounds like a challenge! where do I sign up? Just kidding I'm up in Denver all the time and I cant recall seeing there trucks.

 

I quit after getting a $435 citation in the state of Oregon because the company was suspended for not filing their mileage reports with Oregon. BEWARE!!!!

 

My office is a couple blocks from them, saw multiple CSP in their lot last week, might be some digging going on

 

Man, I was hoping to read that things had changed over there. I did my 3-4 months with them back in 2013. That's pretty much how it was - run illegal, and then get dumped on if you get in any kind of trouble.

I blew a tire on a trailer my first ride out with them. Took 4 hours (in the middle of nowhere) to get it fixed. They literally expected me to continue driving to the next 12-16 hours of LTL drops, as if nothing had happened (I'd already been up for a LONG time). My last ride with them, was coming back from Cali with a load of produce - I -70, climbing Loveland Pass. Thermostat on that p.o.s. 2007 Volvo I was driving, froze up. Engine wouldn't run more than 2-3 minutes without shutting down. They said it'd be the next day before their mechanic could get out there. So my wife and I camped out on an exit ramp. Next day, mechanic never showed. It took me about 4 hours to get it back to Denver; between coasting and stopping on the shoulder to let it cool off. But, I got it back, and I parked it right in front of their business office.

Most of these companies are getting worse by the year. Shepherd is/was a family company. It's a shame they can't/couldn't do better than this.

 

Seems like they had a bunch of old Leprino trailers

 

Yeah they're worse now than ever. First hand knowledge of it as I write this. You not only have to run illegal, now they will flat out not pay you for your work. People, stay away from these thugs.

 

A lot of things have changed since 2013. Shepherd now has electronic logs. And only run legal A whole new Mechanic staff and a ton of new trucks. I agree in 2013 things were bad but it's not that way anymore. It is not hard to make 100,000 a year there you just have to Be willing to work. They have never offered money for you to run illegal. And They will pay you for everything that you do. As long as you're honest.

 

Corporate spokesperson here to tell everybody things are okee dokee now. Come on and sign up!
