Former Employee - Oct 12, 2026

DRIVERS BEWARE!!! I was with this company for 3 weeks and they shorted my very first check and every check after. They micromanage. They tell you when and where to get fuel, even if it's out of the way and doesn't align with your clock. They say they pay a detention, yet they send me to a shipper where I had to wait 7 1/2 hours to be loaded. NO DETRNSION PAY. I was told to take my 10 hour break after I found out it would be 7 1/2 hours before I could be loaded. All signs point to a company that's in financial troubles. They are a straight out dishonest company! They will, not admit when they're wrong. By far the worst company I've worked for in 40 years!!! On the plus side the truck was nice to drive.

Pros

The truck was nice to drive. Speed, limer set at 70 miles per hour

Cons

They lie! They do not pay detention or layover pay. They short your check on miles.

I have been working at CLE for a year + now. Personally, so far I have had nothing but the best experience. Equipment is well maintained, benefits are great and company pays 1/2 of them, i am able to take a vacation and was paid as promised, miles are great. There is not a lot of time to waste, it is a fast paced environment. They will ask you to run your clock. Home time is as promised but you have to manage your clock correctly otherwise you will put yourself behind and will not get home.

Pros

benefits, people, trucks are great

Cons

may be too much for slower drivers who like to take time to get somewhere

A different experience in general than any other company I worked for. How? Communication is open with both maintenance and dispatch, you actually meet your dispatcher day one face to face to eat breakfast and chat what works and what does not work for you. All dispatchers are former drivers. Payroll never skips the beat, benefits are plenty and great, they pay 70% of your medical bill, paid vacation first year, home-time on time and when scheduled.

Pros

On time home time

Cons

No time for prolonged breaks. Fast paced.

Good company to work for. Good equipment and great benefits. Company is managed well. Plenty of work if you need it. Home time is agreed on in advance and schedule is spot on most of the time.

Pros

Good working environment

Cons

Not much time left to rest beyond your 10

The pay is great, but you are expected to work and work hard. The benefits package they recently rolled out is fantastic for a single driver and affordable if you're married. You can easily do well financially, but your reset home will go by quickly if you run regional. Overall the team is great, in house maintenence and recovery and the owners are very hands on and available to drivers if need be.

Pros

Great pay and benefits

Cons

Fast paced with high expectations
