I have been here since all the USA companies came together. It's been rough, but I can honestly say Bison cares about their people.

Pros

The people, the terminal locations, the connection between USA and Canada, and they care.

Cons

The freight recession for all trucking companies.

I've been here 18 yrs and I never seen a company change so fast and lose drivers and office help as quick as this place, had 1 dispatchers when I was with ho wilding then bison came in and screwed it all up now I have had six different dispatchers and the one I got now is a nice guy but is useless as a dispatcher, the miles have went to #### and the load that ho wolding had established have just about vanished, now they want us to run the hartt crap LDS that have no miles and I'm he to run not sit on my butt, we have lost over 2 million with the water LDS and that came right from a person I know In customer service so I believe it but dont worry this place won't be here in long I give them 2 yrs at the most so I will be looking for a new job soon, I'm kinda hoping they just say park the trks so I get pushed into leaving

Company is going out of business, at least in the US. They are currently selling off a ton of their equipment and eliminating jobs in order to shore up losses. Recently, they cut the pay of most of their drivers. They eliminated their guaranteed pay program and PTO, having drivers pay out of their own pocket into a "vacation bank." They no longer pay for actual miles driven, but have joined much of the industry by paying zipcode to zipcode for their mileage, and shave earnings even further. By comparison, in 2024 before the changes, a driver could expect to bring home around $1100-1500 per week after taxes. In 2025, post pay cuts, $500‐700 per week is the norm. Expect to only drive 1300-1500 miles per week. It is next to impossible to find equipment without issues, both in their tractors and trailers. Expect to be dismissed quickly if you bring anything in for repairs, or sit for at least a day for anything more than a pair of wipers, because they no longer can afford to staff an adequate maintenance team at any of their terminals.

Pros

Some comfortable accounts, somewhat reliable hometime.

Cons

Bad pay, poor support and predatory industry practices are prevalent here.
