Former Employee - Dec 2, 2025
Pros
They are good with roadside service response.
Cons
They'll keep you in an endless cycle of northeast and Appalachian loads where the speed limit is 50mph and mountains and higher costs of goods and services and conjestion.
Current Employee - Jul 21, 2025
Pros
The mileage pay is good if you get miles and spend 2 hrs of your 10 every day doing all the on-line monthly training, paper work, and maintenance to free up your 70.
Cons
Their home time includes being on-call because they don't care about you having any life. They WONT tell you when you can expect to be home or for how long until late Friday. So you can't make plans. They want to micro manage any time "off". Then you are left wondering when you are expected back on your truck. The Pittsburgh terminal has very bad equipment and management that expects you to drive with constant check lights displaying, failing brake checks, and very few supplies. Trying to docu

I've been to their Croydon terminal and talked to some of their drivers and they always seem happy, plus they have a guaranteed pay every week if you commit to being available for a certain amount of days.. I live 5 mins from Rahway, I was looking into them as well.

I have been with them for several months and so far so good. The guaranteed pay is nice, I always hated the up and down paychecks. As long as you follow their procedures you will do fine. They are very strict on that.

I am still with them and they are a decent company but I am looking to go elsewhere. I went with them looking for better home time than otr. It is getting to the point that I am having to stay in the truck most of the week. If you are close to the terminal it might not be an issue but I live an hour away so a 10 hour break doesn't allow me to go home. It wasn't like this at first but has slowly gotten worse. I am out of a different terminal and run a different account so it would be different at your terminal. The guaranteed pay is nice but you will earn every penny of it.

questions about Highway Transport Inc.
I have been with them for a couple of months. Like you I could not find much info on them. Just under 300 drivers so I guess they are not well known yet. All I can say is so far so good. If you deliver on time and follow their procedures then you will be fine. This is my first tanker job but I am enjoying it but there is a learning curve. Also make sure you do not "forget" anything on your application. I saw 1 guy sent home from orientation because he forgot a surgery he had. Everyone there has been friendly and helpful. If you have any specific questions I will try and answer them. Good Luck
