Ratings and Reviews

Current Employee - Jan 1, 2024

Excellent company to not only start with, but stay with. Team driving to the west coast and back. You’re paid by zones, not miles, so you choose your route. New equipment that is well maintained. Dry goods going out, reefer/produce coming back. Home time averages 2-3 days after your 6-7 day round trip. For every 4th trip out, you can take a week off. Family environment and friendly staff. Dispatchers are dedicated and caring. Insurance and benefits after 90 days.

Pros

Home time Benefits Equipment Staff

Cons

Manual mileage record/bookkeeping

4-6 days average trips. Team driving mostly west coast. 2 days home. Decent insurance and excellent office personnel. Excellent company especially if you're just starting your career.

Pros

Great equipment. They know your name. They will work with you and do what they can to accommodate your needs.

Cons

Most return loads are produce. Coolers can be very long waits. Not Cooke's fault but it is an issue.

Former Employee - Apr 1, 2019

Find a different company!! Do not start your trucking career here. You make horrible money and they screw you out of money. The only people that are here are people that do not care or foreigners. Not the best company to work for. The equipment seems well kept however the people like to be shady. The training needs a lot of work. If you decide to go with this company MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TRAINING BEFORE HAND. You are treated like a log book. All you do is drive. When it comes down to try backing up forget it.

Pros

Trucks.

Cons

Trainers Managers Dispatch Foreigners Training Everything except the trucks.
