Former Employee - Sep 20, 2023

This is a company that has legally figured out a way to get drivers to finance the entire company. They will find a load on their load board paying thousands more than they write up on the delivery report for the owner operators. Then charge 27% of what they tell the O/O the load pays. So for instance, the San Luis to West Palm Beach load pays 9K. They will type up a delivery report telling the 0/0 6k. Then they take 27% of the 6k leaving the 0/0 with 4k for the week they schedule pick up to delivery. The company now kept 5k off the load, meanwhile the o/o made 4k. They overcharge the driver for everything. 10% for using their fuel card, plus the cost of fuel. $70 a month for the elitepass plus will charge the o/o to use toll roads on top of the $70 per month. Elite passes do not cost $70 per month plus the use of toll roads. The money goes towards cooperate, not the cost of the equipment. They charged me for the rest of the year to license the truck and road taxes even after I left and returned all equipment. Cooperate are a clique as usual. Safety will hate on pretty women but love on the men. Candice edits videos from truck footage to make the driver look bad (if your not a man she flirts with). Safety tells the driver in orientation that the camera is for our benefit but will use everything she can against the driver. When I told her I was pulled over she laughed at me and found amusement and joy that harm came against me but she always showed jealousy towards me. Dispatch left me sitting in the middle of nowhere half of the week. Owner operators are not allowed to find their own freight. Because they don't want o/o to know the whole load pay (then they can't pocket) as they do with all freight. Men are taking home 7-9k every other week. I only brought home only 5k every two weeks (before taxes and maintenance plus fees). They do not invest into drivers. They use drivers to invest in themselves. They lie, cheat & steal. Oh you can give dispatch a whole month advance notice when you need time off and they will make sure they get you home late and throw low pay loads on you. Making you sit in a dock the whole day you're supposed to be off and compensate $40-$60 for the day. 100% late a day or 2 after time off requested.

Pros

potential if favored (if you brown nose) job security its hard to get fired they want as many people paying them as they can keep

Cons

they steal money from drivers have to brown nose to be favored corrupted cooperate not trustworthy dispatch

In the last week I was lied to just so they could get me back to the yard and fire me, totally cheap #### to pull and they denied me my vacation pay because they terminated me 6 days before the end of my 3rd year; such a petty thing to do, where's your Christmas spirit.

Pros

Payroll department was very competent, as was the Safety Department and Todd was a good dispatcher and the overnight crew were always good.

Cons

Taylor Farms sucks, Giltner cheats on miles even though they have sophisticated GPS systems, even their own on board GPS showed more miles than they paid especially with Taylor Farms and Sanderson Farms loads.

350 or less miles per day is correct, just not enough. Just got terminated by them 6 days short of 3 yrs, so no vacation pay out the door.

Pros

They do not hound you and let you be your own driver.

Cons

Miles are insufficient.

Overall I think they are ok, the downfall is miles, in my view there is just not enough. Average of 350 miles a day is just lacking. Otherwise I have no complaints. I will give it 6 months as required to not get charged for hotel, car rental and so on, but if the miles increase to 2800+ a week then I would have no reason to leave. Recently had a 8 day breakdown in Florida, they were top notch on Hotel and compensation. Just need more miles and a better rate per mile.FOR ANOTHER DRIVER YOU MAYHAVE BETTER LUCK, IN SPEAKING TO 7 OTHER DRIVERS I'M TOLD THEY AS COMPANY DRIVERS HAVE MADE $50K+, SO I THINK IT'S WORTH GIVING THEM A SHOT.

Pros

Equipment is good, I think management is trying to get me miles but some freaky circumstances have displaced those occasions.

Cons

Per mile rate is about 3 to 5 cpm below what I should get, per week miles need to increase.
