Current Employee - Feb 24, 2024

Beware of over zealous safety dept. and the camera watching you to work against you not help you. To protect them not you, beware to women in office at zephyrhills yard, if they see your back, they will put a knife in it, dispatchers use to work with you and for you, now they are throwing you under the bus, load planners with the unrealistic appt. times now have all the power and control,,they haven't given any pay raise to any drivers in over 2 and half years now, but now expect you to do more of their paperwork , have tweaked all safety instruments on trucks to help keep from giving bonuses, 7 years here now as a driver but i think ive come to my end..the only drivers they treat good now are their do boys and do girls, little spies that sniich on drivers, and do boys and girls who refuse to drive at noght, refuse to go here or there, those are their gold star drivers now, not drivers ,its a shame that what once wss one of the best companies is now one of the worse, oh dont forget the whole shop help in zephyrhills walked out on them a year ago, now we have back yard kids working on trucks and trailers....beware my friends beware

Not a good company, probably looking at a lawsuit, violation of a driver constitution right, etc. Pay is not good, you can make twice as much being independent. Stay far away.

Pros

None

Cons

Nothing good to say about this piece of s___ so call company

I've been with them 9 years and the recruiters I had have moved on to different jobs within the company but I never felt like I was lied too. As with other companies I have my down weeks but I end up making up for it on a monthly basis. The people are very easy to get along with and the pay raises have been decent. If you're willing to work for it a little bit you can get an idle or fuel bonus depending on whether you have an APU or not. I'm in a 2016 Cascadia so I have an APU and he truck is getting great fuel mileage so I usually get my bonus. All their new trucks are automatics. The pay is decent, right now I'm at .43/mile. I feel like it's fine though cause I get good miles. I should mention I live near the Akron terminal so home time is very good for me. I've heard they want the website to be up and running within the next month or so. The old one isn't the greatest but it gets you what you need. Hope this helps, I know I gave you more than what you were looking for but they have been good to me!

I have been with Heyl for almost 2 years.. real good company to work for, they will run you , i average 2200-2500 miles a week. They modifed pay a few months ago to make getting bonuses easier, and i have never missed either my fuel pay or my quartely, i hit 30000-33000 in a quater, hometime is never an issue they can have me back in a week if i need them too. the site is heyl.net 

85% of our freight is florida and texas.. and we bounce to the NW quite a bit..

The Heyl Truck Lines Experience

heyl maybe a good company for some. what i found out. too many red flags for me. first phone call the first questions they asked. if i was on welfare or unemployment. seemed like they were fishing for govornment kick backs. and then they asked about everything else. had to keep pestering them to keep up with the status of the application. they are really good about keeping me up to date on it. so they hand the application off to the safety guy. didn't hear from him until monday late in the afternoon. the only reason he called at all. is because i pestered the recruiters. once he called. he told me that he had the app. and wanted to know when i wanted to come in for an "interview" and then he said depending how it went???? they would consider a road test. then said I would be sent back home after that! asked if they did a hotel stays or anything. because i would be traveling 160 miles to the interview???? I still question that. they never said, so I went with no. so i would have to travel 320 miles a day between for orientation. so once i thought about it. I realized that they are in no kind of real need for drivers. and I think they are mostly phishing for back up drivers for possible future employment when they are in need. so it didn't seem very promissing. and for most traveling 320 miles a day for orientation is too expensive. and just too far for a maybe. so for me. it was questionable at best. are they hiring? or are they just taking applications and doing interviews? and there's no real job offer in exsistants at heyl???
