A very BAD place to work. Rate Con quotes x amount of miles, if you are lucky you will get paid for 80% of those miles. Fraudulent DOT inspection process. (Truck and trailer getting inspected in Chicago while they are physically in NJ. Was sent "new" DOT paperwork and copies of new stickers via fax at a truck stop. No reimbursements for cat scales, fluids, or repairs. Equipment is a hodge podge of busted up trucks that were abused by "steering wheel holders and seat warmers". Trying to get anything fixed is a joke, warned maintenance head that trailer brakes were in need of repair, was told to keep running and we would fix next time in Chicago; got 4 tickets at DOT inspection site in Florida and red tagged; lost 2 days waiting to get trailer brakes fixed at the scale house. Lost another 2 days waiting for their incompetent mechanics to fix/resolve a fuel leak. And don't get me started about the APU's that are supposed to "save" them money; spent more money fixing these then the fuel to idle the trucks at night would have cost. Company still owes me $3000 for last paycheck, repairs, and Escrow. DO NOT WORK FOR THESE THIEVES!!

Pros

Finally not having to listen to owner/dispatch/head of maintenance whine and throw obscenity laden temper tantrums over the phone.

Cons

Paycheck is always short. Maintenance is woefully inadequate. Equipment needs to be sent to the scrap yard. Dispatch and management is a JOKE!

This is a very shady company don't believe the lies in their advertising. They say they pay percentage but they don't tell you how much they're making on the load so they pay you what they want. They run E-Logs but they tell you to run over your hours and say they will fix it on the computer on their end. Some weeks I worked over 70 hours and took home less than $300 and that was on a 1099 at that. And if you ever decide to quit they will take your last paycheck. The owner just rides around in his new Range Rover and his brother is the dispatcher that runs the place. And they speak two languages so they speak about you right in front of your face and you don't know what they're saying. Be prepared to start at 3 or 4 in the morning and stop at around 9 at night and be back to work at 3 in the morning again.

Pros

Very little

Cons

Extremely low pay Company pushes you to run illegal. Extremely Shady company
