If you work for this company, you are actually working for whichever automotive manufacturer they haul for. If that plant, let’s say Honda in Alabama works Saturday, you work Saturday. If they shut down or pause production, your work and paycheck pause, too. Sliding pay scales were introduced at the beginning of the year. Unless you run 6-7 days a week it’s hard to obtain the required miles to qualify for the higher pay rate. Most positions are dedicated runs! Apparently, a drivers skills and time are less valuable on the weeks he or she runs less miles. I resigned the end of June and was basically told I was s**t out of luck because bonuses paid out in July, after I was gone. Bonus should have been included in my last paycheck. Just one of the dirty low down ways they try to save a dollar. Wouldn’t be writing this if I’d received all my pay after resigning. In 3 years, I requested 2 days off and never called out sick. My thanks was being cheated out of pay. I even submitted a 2 week notice when resigning.

Pros

Decent home time, weekly paycheck

Cons

inconsistent pay, poor communication with dispatch

I won't work for a company I don't trust. Full time work, part-time pay. Advertise one thing, delivers another. Worked for 3 months, finding they are very unorganized. I gave no notice due to the report of other drivers experience.

Pros

They are my inspiration for becoming my own boss!

Cons

Venture Express

Venture Express came up into Ohio and bought out my company Chambers Leasing System April 1st 2016.
Told all the drivers that everything was going to stay the same till the end of the year. One month later, they are closing a terminal, moving a terminal, letting people go, selling equipment & telling current drivers they want us on a setup like down south to maximize the 11/14HOS and that we will not be bidding on runs we want to be on anymore and having a dedicated run daily.
The options they gave amount to garbage pay for longer hours! Drivers are giving notice, some have left and some are hold out till the Honda shutdown pay and then leaving.
The word about them is spreading and they are having a hard time finding drivers, as chambers was not the best paying Honda contract company, but they were an ok company for the long term drivers with 10+ years(new drivers didn't make much and most were straight out of school) and Venture is paying out the nose for outside companies to cover their contract Honda runs(more then they get for the contract).
Some drivers are now working for those outsource companies doing their same run when with Venture and making more money now.
I hope they go down and piss Honda off, i've heard that some of the Honda management people said Venture better not mess up or they will be dropped. They have others to do the runs if needed if Venture drops the ball. Which they already have it slipping thru their fingers!
