Smith Transport reviews

I see people ask about them a lot so I figured Id start a thread to track my status with the company. Finished orientation Friday and heading out tomorrow on my first run. Seems like a good company, I was impressed with the orientation. didn't sell me promises of fairys and pixie dust. They laid out the positives and negatives. Anywho not much else to say right now but Ill be updating this post from time to time to update what its like working for them. Be safe out there drivers

I didn't know company drivers had to pay into an escrow account. Some weeks I got a $400 dollar after taxes paycheck and some weeks I got a $700 dollar after taxes paycheck. at Smith Transport , most loads were drop and hook rolls of paper. Rome, Georgia international paper mill with the Georgia Pacific saw mill in the back would have you sweep out your trailer before dropping and hooking.

The company is not bad, miles sometimes you get 2500 nd sometimes you get less average lenght of haul is anywhere between 200 to 800 equipment are well taken care of but they don't give the nice peterbilt with long nose to new hire you gotta be there for 5 years or more, dm are okay but you know people having a bad day sometimes nd you know they will find someone to blame which is gonna be you. it's a good small outfit if you can get your feet in just go for it nd u wont regret it.
