Former Employee - Mar 23, 2026

Delivered 3 different loads for this company, Chicago to Michigan to Phoenix AZ and then to Texas then to Wisconsin. Got no pay from Wisconsin to Illinois. Haven't heard from them since. Still owed over 4k USD. If I don't get my paycheck by Friday I will officially open a case with the government wage and hour about this.

Pros

None

Cons

There trying to not pay you for your work and they never give you enough time to deliver the loads and they blame you for everything. The no pay won't stand, I will never stop until I get my paycheck. I'll sue in court if nessecerry. And it will be much more than my 2 paychecks if I have to go that far with it. Wrongful terminated because they don't give anyone enough time to deliver the loads.

I'm currently a driver, haven't received 1 dollar for pay. Communication is extremely bad, best to hold begging for food. Dispatch does their best and is good. Miles and eld support is ok. Required to take a 7 hour break every 30 hours.i am a currently considering new job because I didn't receive any pay and only got excuses. Lord bless and protect me while begging for food.

Pros

Dispatch and eld are above average. Maintenance works hard to keep truck running.

Cons

No pay.
