Absolutely garbage. Put my two weeks notice in with my dispatcher then suddenly im routed to the yard where I met with safety and HR. They decided yo part ways right then. No rental cars available to get home. Had to leave $1000 worth of my belongings on truck because there was no way of shoving everything in a suitcase. Was there over a year. I promise you that you won't make thier appointments unless you only take that mandatory 10hr break. Feel like a weights been lifted off my shoulders as I sit on a amtrak train going home. So my review is this company is just another company that can care less about thier drivers unless your buying thier bs.if you like to Drive 9-10 a day plus sit in docks 4-5 hours a day and not getting paid a dime and having to fight for detention then this company is for you. Stay away. You've been warned us thier not even an American company bunch of eastern European crooks own the company.
Pros
Trucks are well maintained and late model.
Cons
The safety director Jose. He's a con artist any real driver can see right through him. He tells drivers at orientation that over 700 miles a day is realistic and that hills and heavy loads dont effect your appointment times. Let me see you pull 80'000 lbs over skyline drive at 65. Like I said he's full of himself.

The positives: very nice, well-maintained equipment and depot. Then there are all the negatives. Dispatcher is in Columbia, SA and has no concept of American geography or weather conditions. Communication with dispatcher is pretty much hit-and-miss. They claim to pay breakdown pay, but the first time I had an issue and had to sit for a half-day, they managed to weasel out of paying me. Then there are the low miles. So far, I've averaged 1200 - 1500 miles per week. They talk a good game, but when the rubber meets the road, they are full of crap. My first clues should have been having to pay for the gas for the rental to get to orientation and only one night paid for in a hotel for a two day orientation. They have not managed to get me home for going on 4 weeks! I am not sure how GP Transco is an award winning "Best Company to Work". The bar for this award must be very low.
Pros
Very nice, well-maintained equipment
Cons
Low Miles, Horrible Dispatch, No Home Time, Poor Communication

Seriously a solid carrier to work for, from the way they do dispatch to their awesome maintenance team and driver friendly terminal...I've been with 6 companies in my career of more than a decade and so far GP has been everything they promised.
Pros
equipment, maintenance team, dispatch, respect for drivers, terminal is great
Cons
Home time could be better, very serious about safety so you gotta bring your A game
