Former Employee - May 10, 2023

Worse company to escort; you sign up for quick pay and you might get paid in 2 to 3 weeks. That is NOT quick pay. Plus the cheapest paying company to escort for.

If you want to go broke this is the company to lease on to. The agents have their own fleet of trucks you will not make money here except go under

Pros

Absolutely none

Cons

You will lose and go broke

I recommend avoiding working for the Houston terminal. They run under the Bennett banner, but seem to be mostly autonomous from the HQ. The equipment is pretty garbage, hand me downs from the Georgia HQ. Might be fine as an OO with your own tractor/trailer, but definitely not as a company driver. Hired me on knowing I have a dog that rides with me, dispatched me to a place that is very strict and doesn't allow dogs, said place threw a fit that I had a dog, got fired to appease the customer after they threatened to terminate contract. Of all the things to be fired for, you brought a dog onto a customers property (in the truck) wouldn't be one that would first come to mind. So much for "family oriented" or “Large enough to serve, small enough to care”.

Pros

Dont have much to say in terms of pros.

Cons

Too much to say in terms of cons. Worked there for a month, did 6 loads in a month bc of truck issues. Waste of time mostly.

I’ve been with Bennett for 12 years. I love that I’m not forced to do anything I don’t want to do. They find the loads and I can pick the ones I want. I go home when I want and stay home until I’m ready to hit the road again. This is my forever home. Love getting paid within a couple hours after delivery.

Pros

Good loads, great pay, no forced dispatch, quick settlements. Christian family owned. Great agents.

Cons

Can’t think of any

They have a term. in tx. and atl. you can work as much or as little as you like,they have a book full of agents if you can find someone to ride with you can haul hi security loads where someone must stay with truck at all times, now that menlow is out of control rates are better,youstill have a disp. to help you find loads but most are on their drivers page.

I was leased to them on the heavy haul side.. I was a slow learner. Left after struggling with them for 2 years...Same day pay yea right.
Only if the agent closes the billing on that ld.. Had to fight them more times than I care to count.
Plently of freight and the agents will be ringing your phone off the hook.
Crickets chirping in the back ground....
They hide more loads than they show on the load board...
If you want to get bald headed by bumping your head under somebodies desk for work you will love it there...

Bennett Motor Express-Mcdonough,GA.
I did that for 5 years . Good Co. for the most part .Don t know what their volume is these days but I remember it did fluctuate some times. It was one of the best jobs I had driving .You could go just about anywhere you wanted .They did Canada also,some like the Great White North, I preferred warmer climes my self.Pay was good, anywhere from .45 to ..85 cpm depended on what you were moving.Did a bunch of motorhomes from Iowa to the southern states.Some buses,for a while they did a bunch of municipal buses ,coast to coast, you had to have P endorsment on your lic.for those.Crane trucks,Cement trcks.Alot of cab and chassis vehicles.Semi s,some new ,some not so new.At the time I was doing it F/S was just being implimented for fuel expense so you had to choose the ones with the best rate and F/S to do real well.Did decked sets to Canada from SC and they d fly you back to get another set.That was fun for a while.
I v been away from it for 4 years ,seems like longer.I had a tow car and carried my gear around with me .I went alot of places I otherwise would nt have . Once you delivered you could do anything you wanted to . it was self dispatch ,you plan it out ,where you go.If you want explore the country it s a good way to do it.....
