Drove for them for 90 days. Went home 3 times in that time. Always a day or two late. Trucks turned down to 70 mph, 13 spd convertibles converted to 10 spd. Can't pull a hill with 44,000 average loads. Load planners and dispatch Can't read a clock,calendar or know fmcsa rules. Left to take a dedicated local run . Home nights and weekends. Salary for more $. Returned truck back to yard clean,damage free. Turned in all company issued equipment. They charged me $750. Out of route miles 325×1.75 $175. Truck cleaning Called asked why, came back empty I was told. Company policy, return truck to G.C yard or $350 charge for recovery and abandonment on DAC. Mad that I quit with no notice, punishment I guess. Weighing legal options, but will take as lesson learned on sub-par company practices. Best of luck to those whom work there.

Shop is top notch

I drove for dynamic transit about 5 years enjoyed it the most of any trucking job I ever had. You want a job where you’re known by name? This is it. You want a job where if you’re working hard they work just as hard making you happy? This is it. You want a job where you call with a emergency they’ll bend over backwards to get you what you need? This is it. A little background on my statements. I’m 2ish years in with dtc I got a call my wife is in the hospital getting multiple stents in her heart mind you I live in Tn 12 + hours from where I am currently and I’m on hwy 36 in Bevier Missouri ending my day still 3 hours from the terminal I call let everybody at dtc know what Is up and I’m on my way to the terminal log book or not all I’m told is be safe we’ll figure out everything else once you get back so I drive the 3 hours drop my trailer so another driver can relay it get in my car and go home fast as can be. Once I get back to work After everything is settled no different treatment. Fast forward a few years. It’s 1/2020 I’m coming out of Washington with a Apple load I think I’m not feeling well even though I just left Ontario Oregon on break I pull into Brigham city Utah call dispatch letting them know something is really bad wrong with me they start working on a swap I got swapped and went to the ER a few days pass safety had multiple drivers check in on me as they pass (I was told I had Bell’s palsy at Brigham Er )(btw worst hospital in America) I was making no progress ,so safety sent a driver again with time to actually check out my situation he immediately called 911 he knew I had a stroke turned out I had a horrible stroke and spent 6 weeks I think in rehab in Ogden learning to walk talk and eat again once rehab thought I was stable enough to fly dynamic flew me home most companies would said find a way home NOT DYNAMIC they bought me my first plane ticket ever to go home.During this time in rehab dynamic got my truck back to work and my stuff moved to my car. I was making amazing progress but during my 1yr requirement off time my wife had a massive heart attack on 6/22/20 my birthday and was admitted to Vanderbilt for heart transplant evaluation. She died 3x waiting and getting her new heart so I decided I’ll go back once I feel she’s stable. I’m excited to say I’m going back after her next doctor appointment. Almost 20 months after my leave and can’t wait to see my dynamic family.

Pros

Pay ,home time ,awesome equipment, family environment,

Cons

It’s trucking no perfect job but it’s as close as I ever seen

Love Dynamic

In response to a few disgruntled drivers at Dynamic Transit out of Granite City Il. This OTR model company really suits someone looking to get paid. They give you the standard day off per week out with an extra day. Their strength is length of haul. In a world that is increasingly more monitored and regulated, Dynamic runs a legal company that still gets a guy paid. The very few times I sat for an extra day between loads isn't as financially painful as it would be with those companies that over hire. After 12 yrs of driving, the number one question I always ask when considering a company is...Are these guys looking for freight for their drivers or drivers for their freight. Dynamic Transit is very efficient and handles the new regs without damaging a guys earning potential.

nice new equipment that didnt work. went without ac for weeks and had no bunk heat in the winter. turned off idle cause it burned to much fuel. truck batteries would be dead just about every morning and had to get jumped. in shop several times just to have truck come out worse than what it went in for. yet alone they stole items from inside my sleeper. gave you impossible runs and then try to write you up cause you cant do them and are late. safety person lost his class a due to accidents and speeding and they put him in safety to tell you how to drive, lol. used open door policy to owner, a foriegner from iraq i think and was told not to bug him on his time off. sat alot between loads. when i quit, they wouldnt give me my last weeks pay....

I dont have the same experience as either of you. Dynamic trucks do have a battery feature that shuts the left bank of batterries down once they dip below 12 volts and a second bank of batterries to run APU. The only way you would wake up to dead batteries is if you let the truck run out its 5 min idle shut off and left the key on. Ive never had a dead battery issue. No a/c or heat for weeks? If you sat in that truck and overheated or froze THATS your own #### fault! Dynamic has a policy to get hotel rooms when thats the case. They aren't going to let you burn up or freeze because of an equipment issue. 7 hours to get a light repaired? So get off your butt and do it yourself. The equipment room will give you everything you need. I think YOUR one of those drivers that likes to sit. Drivers like you use it as an excuse. 

I make pretty consistant grand a week plus checks. Least ive ever took home was about 700 for a week.

As for Fred? Wtf does it matter wether hes iraqi, iranian, afghani, Japanese, Chinese, wtf ever? He's an American business owner that runs a successful trucking company. Thats a hobby? Doubtful! Theres tens of millions of dollars in this company. I doubt thats "just a hobby". Ive never even met the man, but ive never heard a negative word from another driver about him. Quite the opposite.

I know the safety guy your talking about. Hes not that safety manager, but he does work in the safety deparment. If you have an issue at 0600 on a sunday mornin.... you know somethin? Hes there. Ive found he works 7 #### days a week.

Any trucking company is what it is.. what YOU make it. How YOU make it. If you worked for dynamic and failed then you need to look at yourself. Ive never had my check undercut or penalized for advances or anything like that. Ive always been treated fairly and up front. Ive seen drivers come in making demands and acting like a pompous #####. Guess what? They dont last. Have a positive attitude and you'll be treated in a positive way.
