Former Employee - Mar 3, 2026

Trash company don't waste your time and believe any of their lies. They will screw you over every chance they get. Their CSA score is extremely low because they don't take care or their equipment.

Pros

None, hopefully these crooks will go bankrupt soon.

Cons

Low pay, poor scheduling, low miles, they want to argue with you every time you go home. Dispatchers are unresponsive, management is morally corrupt.

It used to be a decent company. They were starting to pay modern money. The equipment was starting to get halfway decent. It all went to #### in the last few years. It’s disappointing, because I used to love working here. It felt like I’d come home. Now, I feel like poor relations. It’s a hellhole of a good ole boy’s club where nepotism reigns supreme and fraternization is apparently condoned. Micromanagement is the new word of the day, and you’re penalized for every little thing. The proselytizing is unreal. The mechanics are inept and surly. Pulling you out of your truck for its scheduled service seems to be their only taste of power in their miserable lives and boy do they relish it! They’re cutting salaries and rotating out people who have been there for years, and moving their most ruthless sycophants up the ladder. Big company headaches on a small company shoestring budget.

Pros

At least it’s a paycheck

Cons

Just about everything else

More hypocrits there than any company in USA! Claim.to bo Christians and lie to you and steal your money daily ! They don't care if your family eats or don't eat ! It's a good ole boys operation from owners on down ! Operations manager ,is a joke ! His boss, shes the same, they will never return your call ! Cannot tell you why your pay is 10 to 14 hrs. Short !.when you finally get a call from operations manager ! its ill check on it and call you back ! Biggest liers since Joe biden ! I can put this on here, because it's the truth and can prove it ! They will not let you make but x amount of dollars ! 31 to 39 cents per mile is what you'll make ! I made more than that in 1997 has a trainee ! They don't have a clue of how to please a driver ! Ownership praises these people ! Say they praise God to , but lying and stealing is permissible! Their religion is 8 commandments ! I'm proud to be baptist, and have 10 !

Pros

A lot of nice people there

Cons

Stay Away ! Not worth the time of day !

Anyone have info on Alabama Motor Express?

My friend has had WAY TOO MANY ISSUES for me to suggest anyone drive for AMX. He left due to no loads. They sent him way out west and couldn't get him a load home. No dice. So when he left, the just deleted him from the system. No record of him working there AT ALL (DAC fraud). Try elsewhere.

Anyone have info on Alabama Motor Express?

Q: My Dad is considering making a switch to Alabama Motor Express, so just wondering if anyone out there had info good/bad on this company, or experiences to share. Thanks so much


A: I know this is an old thread, but AMX (Alabama Motor Express) was ok when I worked for them (returned to college and left them). They ran a lot of Florida, and also up into the midwest. Don't think I ever did much east-coast with them. The equipment was ok, and I did get an almost new Volvo after 2 months with them. It ran 70 mph but don't know about now. It is a family owned company, they had a separte driving lounge building with sofa and TV, showers and free coffee. Pretty easy to work there at the time. Overall, I would say one of the better small companies I have worked for. Was home every weekend also. Hope this helps for anyone considering them. Located near Dothan Ala.
