Summit Trucking (Dallas, TX) reviews

Im writing a review to give my honest and truthful insight of my experience in the 8 months I worked for this agent. Starting with high hopes and quitting a job of almost 3 years I was not informed they only run retreads. I spent most of my time at this agent sitting in a Loves parking lot for up to 12 hours in some cases, and what turned out to be a two page rap sheet in a list of tires that have been replaced in my short time here. This does not include hours sitting waiting on roadside, replaceing with another retread provide by the agent. More than likely the probability of it blowing, peeling, bubbling, deflating.. etc as well a couple hours down the road give it time. Honestly leaving you with almost a sense of PTSD and stress from it all. They prefer you to limp to the closest tire shop to save them roadside costs and money while you sit and make nothing most times, sometimes they'll throw you $100. Not to mention this doesn't include time you take to go back to the yard after picking up a trailer locally before you leave town to deliver, to having tires needing replaced that weren't addressed by another driver. You are literally walking on eggshells with this company as they talk down to you in a accusing manor as if you are the issue, asking what did you hit, did you check your tire pressure? Even at times trying to make you pay for the damaged tire. If one of your tires goes flat and you and go into a scale not knowing you've acquired yet another flat tire in route to your destination and get fined they will fire you. They accuse you of not doing a pre-trip or checking your tires, to put blame on you saying it could have been avoided. As pictured you see most all times it couldn't be avoided by the product they buy. Pulling into the very small yard they have you have to hit the curb that also does tire damage. You inform safety and head shop of issues with equipment and it never gets addressed. I asked for service on tires and had a shake on the passengers side for months and it still had not been addressed my last day there. I sent in a video to show the issue that maybe they would take me seriously but to no prevail. I feel safer no longer being there. The IPAD they supply was always rebooting on me and the GPS took me to.places I didn't belong. I made bare minimum pay for most of my time there, going through 4 DMs quiting and 2 safety personal quiting. I unfortunately have to say hands down this is by far the worst agent I have ever worked for.

There are 2 in dispatcher office that are the bomb Andy and ivon love them and Dan in safety. Changes happening time will tell if it stays same great company I started with.

They are a good company if you want to be home weekly and stay in texas for regional. If your a mover and want miles then stay away. OTR gets ya 2200 to 2500 a week and there is no drop pay, hard to get detention for anything, it's a good company with good people and equipment but they have no hustle. They promise 3000 plus for otr but never happens. My average drive time for last 8 days is 6 hrs per day. Im use to getting 550 to 650 a day but not here. If your looking for laid back easy job with good home time then sign up it's for you. If your looking for miles and pay then pass on by... my honest opinion nothing more

I hope you like going from Dallas to Houston twice a week. Yes they do have other freight but are #### bent on just sending you back and forth to Houston. Forget it.

This company cares nothing for it's drivers, they only care about the office staff. They don't reimburse for parking, or anything else. Their new yard is too small and isn't really made to hold heavy equipment. On regional the miles are low, and they reduced starting pay for drivers. I make 5 cents more than new hires and my pay isn't great, 2 or 3 cents less than industry standard. The dispatch during day is incompetent and rude, they love to gaslight you into thinking everything is your fault when it obviously the fact none of them can count. Dispatch during night is minimal and basically useless. And recently they try real hard to ignore the fact that when hired they promised great home time. First 2 years I never heard 34 anything. Now they try hard to cut your 2 days off as much as they can.
