They lied from the first day, you will sit for days without a load, cliff refuses to ever answer a call, then when you quit because of not making money, they deduct the car rental, hotel and drug test fee from your check without telling you! Worse place ever

Oh, boy. Here we go.
Well, since they decided to block me on their Facebook for stating what's written in THEIR contract, I'll write it here:
"Do not miss work. At all. For any reason. They will take hundreds of dollars out of your paycheck for expedite fees. That's not just coming from a former employee, it's literally in their contract they make you sign at orientation and believe me......they LOVE to enforce it any chance they get. So, PLEASE do yourself a favor and READ THE CONTRACT before you decide to take the job." That was the post verbatim.
---‐---------------------------------------------------------------
Now, on to what I discovered in only a couple of months working here.
They tried to take over $500 out of my paycheck once because I missed one day of work due to my car being broken down. WITHOUT INFORMING ME. I still have the paystub as proof. Only after threatening to leave and raising cane over it did they finally refund me and back off.
And since we're gonna be petty and block me on Facebook, let's let it ALL out for everyone to see.
Don't believe a word they say when they promise you a shift. Even something as vague as nights or days. Don't believe it. They promised me nights when I got hired, I still have the messages as proof, and after only a month, I was forced on to a schedule that I cannot do due to family issues and scheduling. Those recruiters will lie to the ends of the earth to get you in the door.
Be prepared to fall severely behind on your bills around the holidays. Toyota in Georgetown, KY shuts down around those times and only the most senior drivers get consistent runs after the shutdown ends. This goes on for weeks. 1, 2, maybe 3 days a week if you're lucky and you might get 6 hours a day AT BEST. You will struggle.
Their runs are entirely dependent on what Vascor gives them every month. They have virtually no say. So, if you're looking for consistency in a job, look elsewhere. You will not find it here.
If you're OTR, you might get paid 80% of the miles you drive. They run a very outdated mileage pay system that only pays what they consider appropriate pay for the run. Not what you actually drove. Therefore, you will have several hours a week that you essentially drove for free. Don't even bother talking to payroll about it because the lady loves to get an attitude with drivers.
They expect far too much out of their driver managers. Especially the two wonderful ladies who were there when I left. They fired one with 0 notice after she simply tried to clean up the mess that was left for her. If you wanna be a driver manager here, don't have a family, don't have a life, don't even breathe a sigh of relief after you leave work. You will be married to that position and they will blame you for the company's preexisting issues and will fire you if things go south for any reason.
The owner has absolutely no respect for any of his drivers or office employees. You are a company asset to him. Nothing more. Contrary to what they advertise. He also has a thing for berating and abusing his office staff, so that's fun.
If you leave the company, they will charge you for it. If you don't return a truck key, which only applies to OTR drivers, they will charge you $100 or so. They will also charge you $60 for the drug test you took, no matter what position you held with the company. If you do not pay them, they will send that amount to collections and hit your credit with it. That'll teach you, right?
I didn't even bother to go back to get my headset out of the truck I was so disgusted with this place. $120 headset. That should tell you something.
If anyone would like pictures of anything supporting what I said, I'd be happy to message you.
Sincerely,
A driver with 6 years of experience, a completely clean record, and a good work ethic who only asks for respect, decent pay, and communication.
Pros
Their eLog system Orbcomm was nice.
Cons
So many. Refer to my review.

Great pay and home time. Smaller company, so if you put in the work they will take care of you.
Pros
Money and Home Time are great.
Cons
No Company is perfect, but if you are willing to work, they will keep you busy and get you home.
