Ratings and Reviews

Current Employee - Dec 28, 2023

When drivers are brought in as "experienced" drivers they are still treated as totally "new" drivers. NOT GOOD!! Super single tires on a lot of the trucks which the "new" drivers get. I was happy with this company when i started but now i'm not.

Pros

Getting more experience is all i can say.

Cons

Every day seems to have a new challenge.

This company will make you driver for free for the fees they put on you. Their brokers are super rude, specially Tiffany! They stop communication as soon as you sign their RC.

Trucks governed at 67 like so many other companies that creates dangerous clusters out on the road. Ridiculous overspeed setting and annoying radar. If you want to be "shadowed" and treated like a 5 year old, this is the place for you.

Pros

Halfway decent pay but miles are tough with a slow, weak truck.

Cons

Slow, weak truck with absurd insurance company mandates. Canceled loads and inept planning.

I love my T680 KW. Has been a good trouble free tractor!!! My DM is a great understanding young man and is a big part of why I came back. The pay is competitive nothing based on bonuses.

Pros

Routes equipment pay staff hometime

Cons

I haven’t found any.

J.R. Schugel has been around a long time. I've heard they are a good company. Lisa, from Ice Road Truckers, did a meet and greet there a while back, so if it's good enough for Lisa, it's got to be good.

J&r schugel has nice equipment and this is all, they have a very high driver and dispatch turn over, I worked for them over 2years,the miles were never conscient, when you wanted to get home they would get you home but you r going to sacrifice almost a weeks pay regardless of time at home, their dispatchers r the worst I have ever experienced ever, difficult to get more than a day out dispatch,
