Great Plains Transport reviews

Pros

1400 a week salary, equipment was good.

Cons

Mismanaged by Mike Holland, lies to employees, loads became crap, and the shut it down from 48 OTR, to regional east of I-35 only.

Pros

The salary pay was really nice.

Cons

You won’t earn the bonus. Don’t even get your hopes up. The salary pay is simply too low and you’re going to likely be stuck east of the Mississippi River your entire time working here. Getting any maintenance done whatsoever was impossible. The deadlines were impossible to make and the owner of the company routinely cusses or yells obscenities in front of the drivers or dispatchers/office people. Do not work for them.

Pros

Not one good thing I can say.

Cons

The office people make you feel very uncomfortable, the terminal sucks, the truck are full of bugs and pesticides. The vehicle that was giving to me was killing me with some weird smell like cables burning

Pros

Truck is in good shape, has a refrigerator. Trucks have an apu or opti-idle. I prefer this, quieter than an apu. I almost never have to idle the truck. They offer salary pay. You get paid the same no matter how many miles you drive. They also pay for hometime.

Cons

I'm an otr cross country truck driver. The short miles and sitting are not for me. I hate being paid to not drive. I prefer mileage pay and running hard. Most loads go Midwest or eastern USA. I'm not a big fan of driving in the southeast, too much traffic. Easier getting around out west. Most loads come from brokers. You will have to download half a dozen apps to communicate with them.

Pros

Salary

Cons

Salary also means no paid vacation, no layover/stopoff/detention pay, no raises. Equipment is garbage, maintenance and safety dept. are both completely inept. Current ceo(original owner’s kid) is a toxic incompetent joke of a manager and ran the company into the ground.
