I’ll tell it to you straight just like they tell it to you straight. It’s a good company, but no better than any other mega carrier. They’ll put anybody with a pulse in a truck, just like mega carriers. Expect to be home every weekend, but not for long. Expect many phone calls about your scorecard, certified red, safety, blah blah blah. Expect to have your driving critiqued by “coaches”. If you don’t drink the Nussbaum Kool aid then you will not fit in and be happy. I will call things as I see them. I don’t sugar coat anything. You will succeed here and make money, but you will also put up with a bunch of stuff. Just like any other company, there’s drivers that will bend over backwards for them and those drivers will just make you sick to your stomach. I personally think Nussbaum is in it more for the popularity than anything else. They WILL take care of you, you will be paid fair, you will have good benefits and equipment. They WILL do their best to keep you moving. They WILL NOT actually listen to you if your view on something differs from theirs. They claim to, but they rarely actually consider different viewpoints. That’s that. Would I recommend them? Yes and no. Just depends what you want out of a company more than anything. There is no perfect company, just a perfect match. This is NOT where I want to be any longer than I need to. I’m only still here because it’s convenient for me and that’s it. I’m tired of everything else.

Pros

Not any more than the next guy. Convenient for me.

Cons

About the same as any other mega carrier. Brent said many years ago they won’t ever be like mega carriers, but they sure do a lot of mega carrier things so take it for what it’s worth.

This company is all hype. It’s all image. They’re basically just like any medium- mega in that they operate in the same exact fashion culturally. You are the driver (you’re expendable), you’re not the favored office staff (degree holder) sitting behind a computer barking at the peasants doing all the actual work. Their dispatchers are/ can be just as incompetent as anywhere else. Do anything that rubs them the wrong way, and you’ll see their true image quickly. You can believe all the good hyped up stuff this carrier does this and that, from reviewers all you want, but that’s all it is— hype.

Pros

Decent pay.

Cons

They care more about their company ratings and reviews than they do you.
