My hands got injured at the house and I took a few days off at the doctors orders. While I was off they recovered the truck, and gave it to someone else I had documents that like birth certificates and my dd214 that were left in the truck. When I called up weekend dispatch and asked how I was supposed to get back to work and they kept asking for my truck number, even though they gave my truck to someone else the guy was rude as #### smh. I’m about to jump to a different company Pay frequency is every Friday They use kenworth t680 trucks Weekly miles are around 1200 to 1500 They mostly had me run Starbucks but I also hauled for Bridgestone and jack daniels

Regional

Koch or Big G, which would you choose?

Big G is a great otr company. Both my wife and I worked there for several years. If you live in TN they will get you home every single weekend, unless you choose to stay out longer. I highly recommend them.

Big G Express Shelbyville, Tn So far........

I have been driving for 22 years and for a lot, I mean a lot of companies.....I have only found 3 that were decent, Wright Transportation, Mobile, Al., Tyson Foods, and my current employer Big G Express. I have posted positive reviews on here before about past compaines, but then something happens,i.e. miles drop, big management changes, or they go bankrupt. Now I digress back to Big G. I started here in March.I applied here 5 years ago and the pay was low and the insurance was horrible, so I passed. 3 years ago the owners sold the company to the employees, and things changed, driver pay increased (3 weeks ago they gave us a .04 cpm across the board pay raise),we got more extra pay items, and the insurance is awesome. You get insurance from DAY ONE if you so choose. The ESOP plan puts FREE MONEY INTO YOUR RETIREMENT! yes I said free!!!!.Basically the more money the company as a whole makes you make more, because after all you are an employee owner. Here are a few of my observations thus far:
