Smith Transport reviews

If you live in the north east part of the country this company probably will be a good fit for you. They operate only in the eastern states. However the benefits are the worst I’ve seen as a company driver. Meaning their medical or dental providers are not the typical like blue cross blue shield or even United healthcare, it’s a local type provider that when I looked them up at the better business bureau it was not recommended. So I had to purchase my own . This sucks if you’re not former military where you can go to the VA as a alternative. Dispatchers are extremely disrespectful in the sense that they will abuse labor laws to exhaust you or even after you worked 14 days straight 10 hrs a day and ask for a 34 reset they will literally tell you “you have enough hrs to run more” . If you don’t run everyday they will doc your pay by making you sit . Management pretty much thinks all drivers are expendable. I worked here almost a year and into my 2nd week I was ready to leave the company but managed to hold on . I found out they were bought out by Heartland express when I arrived to orientation. Right out of orientation I received a truck that had fumes coming into the cab of the truck , a mat for a mattress , a broken seat and no matter how much I complained about it nothing was done about it. I did not realize how much my health was effected by this until I left .

Overall very happy at Smith always are home in the weekend my DM is easy to work with . My pay is always on time

just another big mega.I hope they all go out of business.Cameras facing you.Literally have so many safety rules it might be only company your eligible to work for

Pay went from cpm to minimum guarantee pay between 1275 a week to 1800 a week depending on what account you run

Been with them for 12 yrs .Do your job go where the freight is and you,ll make a good living.Be a team player and you get treated with respect. Prove yourself and you will get new equipment in short time.
