Former Employee - Jul 25, 2024

I wouldn't do it again! and I wouldn't try to recruit drivers to work there, I don't want somebody to come head hunting for me because I talked them into working at Brown, and NOW they can't pay their bills and support their family!

Pros

You get home for doctor appointments.

Cons

Don't get paid enough to pay your bills, If you can't pay your bills, your eating either. Not a place to work for a driver with a family to support! Or a single person that pays their bills on time, and is fond of eating! Worked all week for a pay check and still had to go into my savings to make ends meet!

Good company!! Dispatchers know drivers by name and listen to any concerns drivers may have. Any issues that may arise are dealt with via phone conversation and not via electronic communications. Dispatch wants to resolve issues quickly in order to keep drivers moving, and communication via phone is the preferred method.

Pros

Good company. Good People.

Cons

I don't have any cons to mention at the moment

I've been at Brown just over a year, and honestly, i've had a difficult time in trucking so far, only 2 years in, but these folks that work here really pay the drivers a great deal of attention, heck i got a Thank you card in the mail the other day handwritten from the Terminal Manager! Thanking me for the week of challenges and the overall good attitude i had while working with an AH shipper, it took a minute to resolve, but he thanked me for my customer service skills. The Terminal in Raleigh looks out for us Drivers. good company to work for, take care of their own Drivers. Bright spot in my day every day now, just knowing - Someone has got my back. :)

Pros

They do what they say, and say what they do, the people are honest.

Cons

Nothing to write home about

Brown Trucking of Lithonia,GA

I worked for Brown of Lithonia. My gig was a dedicated run out of the Rock Tenn plant in Stevenson, AL. Started out with a 800 a week guarantee that disappeared. Then the mile went to crap and couldn't make it on 4-500 a week so I left. They aren't horrible, some trucks are good others are garbage. I think you need 3 years experience to get on with them. In their defence the route I had was set up all wrong and after our dispatcher quit it went to hell anyway. I miss being home every night but I don't miss brown. All I pulled was roll stock and scrap cardboard with the occasional load of boxes. boxes were light the rest would top you out all the time.

I worked for them as a Local guy out of the Rock Tenn plant in Stevenson, AL as a company driver. They started out with a guarantee that went away after 2 months and then the miles were so low that I had to quit. Your loads are mostly going to be roll stock, scrap cardboard, or corrugated boxes. Most of the time you are going to be heavy, and a lot of the time you are going to be top heavy. When I was there a year ago they were having a hard time keeping any kind of driver. As far as Im concerned the pay was too low for anyone to make a decent living. Your results may vary though.
