Alot of small customers with super tight lots a lot of chicago inner city, Crappy old trucks giving new hires trucks with ####+ miles with tore up fairings chipping paint and rusting on bumpers 4+ years experience and I refused the first truck they tried to give me for reasons above night/weekend dispatch are high school kids who never seen inside of a semi, Most there terminals don't have showers or even a place to overnight park (el paso) dispatchers have no clue about trucking think you can just find a place to park at 1am...

Pros

Hometime Is About all

Cons

Night/Weekend Dispatch are clueless kids super crappy tore up trucks alot of crappy customers

Not the same company it use to be they have changed so much the past 2 years. They are starting to act like a mega carrier and the drivers are coming unglued. Alot of drivers say the company is trying to flush out the older drivers to pave the way for cheaper student drivers. Now we have way too many drivers and not enough freight to go around for everyone and the drivers are now complaining about sitting too much not making money. Here are the recent changes that have all the drivers up in arms and quitting. 1. They dropped the 2 year experience and have broght in students and trainers. 2. They partnered with 2 very large truck driving schools to keep a steady flow. 3. Installed cameras in all the trucks and started the micromanaging "coaching" that comes along with it. 4. Implemented a fuel solutions program that dictates your route and all specific fuel stops. 5. Stripping down the trucks to save money like of all things the seats where we spent about 70% of our day these cheap seats are so uncomfortable and start leaning to one side after a while your sore after sitting in them for a few hours.

Not a recruiter at all. I'm a driver. At none there is no better company.

I take home average $1200 a week. The miles are there and the money is there.

The company doesn't acres around on fixing anything. My radio started screwing up and called maintance and one is waiting at the yard when I get through tobswap out.

I come home for two days, the head tech will tell me he looked over my truck. Two months ago he said he threw new steers as they had a bit of inside wear and had it aligned. Never mentioned a thing about it.

If you have a crappy company... Leave. DHT is without a doubt the best... Hell, if you do break down on the road they will pay you 500 miles. Day down time. No one does that

I am at orientation at this time and they seem to be a very good company. I got one more day of orientation and suppose to get my truck and get my load assignment Thursday morning. No northeast and no northwest runs at all which is fine by me. They told me at orientation that their average runs are 1400 miles and there is plenty of freight to keep drivers moving. That's all I got at this time.

Back home for three days after being out for two weeks, so far Danny Herman Trucking has treated me very well. I was in Calexico CA. on Thursday and they knew I ask to be home on the weekend, dispatcher work very hard to find me a load to Augusta GA. and they indeed did just that and gave me a load over 2000 miles (solo driver) that was a drop and hook with a open window and I got home late Sunday evening with a huge paycheck coming next Friday including the two previous other loads that total 2000 miles. The dispatchers and support staff are awesome and do what ever to meet the driver needs. Best company I have work for including Prime, Marten, and Arnold, these companies treat you like your not a person and most of their dispatcher just don't care about the driver as a person.

I have been with DHT for over a year. I go out 12 days and home 2-3 days. Base pay starts at 34 cents a mile. However, if you don't like to run hard, this is not the company for you. We ONLY do long haul and we do not put our loads on the train. The driver pulls all loads. Not a locomotive. Average length of haul is 1400 miles, but you will mostly run longer hauls than that. So, if you don't like to run hard, this is not where you want to be. I will say this, you won't find a better company out there. At least here, even though the trucks only go 67 mph, they are mostly BIG trucks and the miles are the best you will ever get. Better than that, the people in dispatch and other support depts are very respectful. I couldn't ask for better
