Good company. They care as much as they can while still being your boss. If you're willing to run you can make up to 2,000 a week. So long as you don't have truck issues. Internationals are probably the worst fleet truck.

Pros

Minimum pay 1,000

Cons

You will get home every weekend but usually it's just 1 day. Get home Friday afternoon, then leave again Sunday afternoon.

Been working here for 4 years now and love it. When they say home every weekend they mean it! Family oriented and understanding. I have enjoyed working for the last 4 years with minimal issues. Management is easily accessible if you need them and the new terminal in Vonore, TN has the best staff.

Pros

Guaranteed home time is hard to know if it will actually be true but they keep true to every single weekend Friday home and leave Sunday noon.

Cons

Their equipment could use better preventative maintenance practices.

Don’t do it that’s all I have to say. Operations Manager and load planners have no idea what they are doing. Equipment is old and breaks down all the time. I won’t even get started on the shop hands, none of them are even certified to work on the trucks.

Pros

Cons

Pay is low.

They tell you it's a family and Christian based company... perhaps it once was when the father was living. I heard great things about him; however, the new owners are not so much... Majority FM are new and don't have a clue. The few good people there don't outweigh the terrible people. It's only good for starting and getting experience. They really can careless about their drivers.

Pros

Starter experience

Cons

Not for family men

McElroy

Not bad, the agility tests were a small workout, up and down a ladder 10 times, picking up tarps, going up and down to your knees and looking under a table, can't remember the rest. Piss tested twice, hair test, and the cpm is I believe zip code to zip code. This will most likely be a one year job and move on. After training, it's 46cpm weekly.

McElroy Orientation not what I expected AT ALL

McElroy Orientation not what I expected AT ALL

I went to mt pleasant for McElroy and have to say that orientation isn't where you learn to back or drive. They show you what is needed to pass driving test and let you practice for hours, they are not there to teach you things you should've learned before passing your cdl test. McElroy is not a teaching company like swift or others, they are a flatbed company who expects you to know how to handle the truck but will teach you securement.

It is a great company, i hope you make it through orientation to be able to appreciate what a good company they are.
Goodluck driver
