Gurney Trucking reviews

Hauling pigs is tough, but if the farm loads you with too many and you are overweight, you get pressure to run heavy. Owners claim the scales at the farm are certified, scalemaster could provide no such certification. Simple platform scale with 2 ft high ramps on each end. Don't think you get accurate weight with your trailer axles 2ft below your tractor either. The owners Scott and Jodi Gurney absolutely refused to pay for Cat Scale. "We have ran this way for 20+ years, maybe your just not Gurney material."-Scott Gurney. He was absolutely right! I am a professional, not a dirtbag hack. Good home time, as it's and up n back run, slip seat Sunday-Thursday, home after 11ish hrs using ag-exception rules. Super early shift in the winter and super late shift in the summer. Maintenance shop it awesome. Will drop what they are working on in house to keep you moving when it's a simple fix. Maintenance manager was a lifelong trucker, not a mechanic. Lots of truck swapping as the trucks run damn near 24hrs a day and hauling pigs is hard on equipment. All trucks are filthy, even the OTR trucks. They have OTR and cattle hauling too, I didn't run OTR because pay started at .46CPM. hauling pigs was a 11hr day but flat pay. Equaled .62CPM or $17hrly. Home every night. My one primary dispatcher was awesome. Maintenance shop was awesome. Payroll office was great. Very transparent fuel bonus program, difficult but not impossible to achieve. Dispatch will ask you to hual back freight in pig trailers, but you get nothing extra unless you do it all 5 days and they conveniently never haver enough freight. The rest of dispatch/operations all the way to the owners where willing to put my record and reputation in jeopardy and as such I'd only recommend this place for those non-professional truckers who try and skirt the law, run illegal and don't have pride in their record/reputation.
