The only reason I gave one star is because there's no option to give a negative score. Tribe/Cherokee is the absolute Worst company for a driver! There's not one employee in the business part that has an ounce of knowledge of trucking, zero common sense, which leads me to wonder how the company stays in business. I figured out the hard way how they stay in business! They steal from the drivers!! Many ways they steal money from drivers! To the point that there are weeks the driver doesn't get a paycheck. The POS say the money is kept for this and that (bull****). There's supposedly a warranty account on trucks under 400,00 mi, yet a truck over the cut off mileage Still gets money withheld for a "warranty" that's non-existent. The "planners" which are dumber than a bag of rocks don't give a rate-com sheet, they send a text saying what the load is paying and the driver has to take that in trust and roll on. I can't begin to tell all the ways that company rips drivers off! I can only hope that someone will eventually take the company on and prove all the theft from drivers, the bad treatment of drivers, and so much more, and take the company down!
Cons
Thieves, crooks, idiot office/shop/safety/management/owner, unsafe conditions for drivers (forced).

They suck all of the bad things the are saying are true. If you live in NC near Newton, NC job openings home daily and make more a week than you did for 2 weeks or all month. Tribe will lie and their trucks are nasty and tear down.

Avoid!! Believe the reviews !
The managers and dispatch are dysfunctional bullys . They have no idea what.they are doing, but will hammer you for what you do or dont do.
NEVER got me home ontime, ALWAYS late .
Ignored mechanics request to gave truck fixed, was more worried about the loads than the drivers safety.
This is a VERY Toxic environment for drivers ! In house staff doesnt care about you the driver .
Cons

I always make it home on time, they have salary pay available for regional drivers and teams, lease drivers listen to your dispatcher and do all the loads they will give you and you will make money
Pros
Great home time great pay
Cons
Having to recover a truck out of orientation

Do not work here !
Bullies and unprepared/undertrained in house managers. Very petty about their job, no accountability.
YOU clean the truck, YOU take the heat for poor planners, YOU have to travel to get your truck after being out in a bunk room style orientation where they feed you pizza and chicken Fil a with gross unwashed fingers reaching in to the food you're suppose to eat.
Can't get you home on time.
It's a snake pit... dont get bit .
