Former Employee - Jun 14, 2019

Worse taker trucking company to work for in the north west,dispatchers will micromanage you every day,force dispatch ,bad load with very low rate that doesn't pay you decent amount of money,you will hauling alots of hazmat and require to perform pump off load which is uncomfortable and does not pay you well.you will be making every two week around 1000-1200 which mean 600 dollars a week!! hauling acid,corrosive,flammable etc, ,. mandatory chain up when they ask you to do so ,most thier loads going threw steep mountains and sharp hills and you are required to put chains and drive on ocean and snow in the middle of snow blizzard and if you said no because you don't feel safe ,they will tell you "sure no problem be safe" but than later on they will bring you back to the terminal and ask you to clean the truck and leave,be aware this company they can fire you with or without reason plus they will go ahead and put nagative report on you on the DAC report and you can not dispute it and you will have hard time fund another trucking company to hire you because of what did they say about you on the DAC report,you will not make money working for this small family own company .my advice to anyone who is looking for tanker driving jobs,,there are many companies out there they hiring tanker driver without experience as well and they will pay you decent and they will treat you in respect and dignity .do not make the same mistake I made when I decided to work for this nightmare company.

Pros

You are just a number!

Cons

Not enough home time,chains up,force dispatches,micromanaging company.low pays .

Beware of Sherman Brothers Heavy Trucking

Beware of Sherman Brothers Heavy Trucking! This goes to all the drivers who are out there in desperation of trying to stay afloat in this economy do not get sucked in by all the pretty songs that their website and recruiter will sing to you. Currently they are not running their owner operators who are coming in the negative or at a flat zero every settlement and even some of their company guys are going bankrupt working for them. But yet they are still hiring new drivers and advertising that they will take owner ops. I could give you a huge story supporting my claim beyond what I just said but please from one person in the trucking industry to another stay away no matter how hard it is you are better off going to Swift at this point.

Warning! Warning! Bad news company!! During orientation you get to stay in a bunkhouse, no less. Turnover is probably well over 100%, as they run new driver classes every week. Some other things to think about, they want to charge you for your winch bar up front (not legal, as it is a tool required for the job) on the assumption you will lose it before too long. To ad insult to injury, their fueling program requires you to use a specific location for a specific amount of fuel, as little as 31 gallons, then journey down the road to the next cheapest fuel, where you might be allowed to put on another 33 or some other crazy amount and this can go on for the whole trip (or your whole career with them)! Of course, whether or not that gets the driver a free shower isn't any concern of theirs, or the fact you have to use on-duty, unpaid log book hours to keep stopping to fuel isn't their problem, either. It gets worse, but by now you get the idea, run away from this company as fast as you can!!

I have worked there as a company driver for 2 years.

I have been treated good and the dispatcher for resin fleet is very nice and easy to work for.

He sometimes gives me extra pay when i do an extra load or work in the yard.

Lets be Honest,Flatbedding is hard work,and most people quit because it is so hard,they dont like to tarp,and they dont like to sweat.

I am 55 and work pretty much when I want to,I drive under 2000 miles a week,but make good money for it.I am home every weekend,sometimes 3 day weekends and the people i work with are great and hard workers.

It is true owners oper,have a hard time,but that is true everywhere right now.

at sherman,company drivers first o/o last.

Anyway I just wanted to be honest about them,they are not perfect,but they have honest people in the office and they ,so far,stand with me through everything and good company to work for.most people bad mouth companys because they didnt get there way,so they talk bad about them here.I make 48 per mile and tarp and drop and pick pay. not the best ,but grat people to work for.

I worked for sherman on the heavy haul flatbed side twice. My first time as a company driver and I stayed for 6 months found a better gig and gave my two weeks notice, hauled every load given and worked my full two week notice. I left and unknown to me the reported on my DAC that I quit under a load. BIG BS. A couple of yrs later I heard they were doing really well with a lease purchase deal (had some friends still hauling for them) and so I decided to go back. They asked about the DAC deal and they disregarded it and took me back. It came from a dispatcher about to retire (he was mine obviously) and we really didnt get along. I then sign on as company driver and 3 mos later as an lease purchaser. I did pretty well for about a year until the recession hit hard and the company decided to screw all o/o and lease purchasers over. There are some honest people in that office as well as a bunch of them that lie through their teeth and are big POS ! It would take up way too much space for me to tell about all the BS I witnessed in my time there that happened to several hardworking, good drivers. Of course none of these drivers were related to anyone in the office which seems to be the ones that always get treated well. I know the resin fleet was always talked highly about but never experienced it for myself. This is a bad company in my experience and I know several others that will say the same.
