Current Employee - May 5, 2023

We are currently FAF contractors and soon will not be. Before the AB5 law kicked in we were doing great. All of the sudden we were put on a new contract and could no longer reach ANYONE that would help us. They say they will call you back and never do. They have lied to us for the last 3 months and yanked our income out from underneath us. Do not sign on with this company if you value your income

Find somewhere anywhere else if your a owner operator unless you don’t really need a paycheck and like to sit for up to 3 days waiting for them to finally get to you and give you a load if you try calling them that just makes you sit even longer. The safety department is also a joke and will hang up on you trying to find anyone to speak with is a joke they act like they hear you but goes in one ear and out the other. They also lied about the pay per mile ????

Pros

Lady at front desk is nice

Cons

Run as fast as you can if you work for them or are considering working for them. They will screw you royally on your paychecks and play favorites of who’s paycheck they want to screw with that week. Dispatchers do not respect their drivers. Driver relations department does not care about their drivers or if their drivers are surviving on the road. Money hungry company. Find any other company besides this one to work for.

Pros

Good equipment

Cons

Will not pay you Shorts you on miles Disrespectful to their drivers You will sit for days because of load cancellations

A friend of mine just walked away from a lease purchase with them 2 weeks ago. Not enough miles, not enough money. He's back to flatbed now.

Mileage company,pulling company trailers, drop N hook from terminal to terminal, mostly teams, if you run solo you'll be driving at night most of the time, at least I did(air freight) They're on elogs now. 0.93 plus FS. Got tired of being gone for 3-4 weeks and left them. Midwest is good area to run for FAF for solo.
