Tate Transportation reviews

All promises and no pay. Worked there twice. I actually thought it would be different. equipment is run hard, trailers are new, but the pay is waaaay. low

Excellent staff, super awesome boss, good pay,new trucks, really good company to work for. Love this company, good loads, staff is really helpful, boss has open door, dispatch is really helpful, love this job.

Beware! Driver facing camera! Video and audio. Dispatch monitors your activity in the cab. Background: I was fed the standard lie when I interviewed recently. You know the one. Prior to the drive test they were hot to hire me based on my qualifications. Rather than allow me to pre-trip the truck so low, they attached a custodian, some guy pushing a broom when I arrived earlier, to accompany me in the cab. What is even more strange, is that the custodian began to ask me personal questions. I thought, why would he ask me personal questions and try to buddy buddy with me, a total stranger. Trusting my instincts I popped off a couple of snide remarks about the owner. Nothing insulting or inappropriate but certainly indicative of my willingness to tow the company line. As soon as I returned from the drivetest I was told that the position had already been filled. You do the math. Personally, I'm a big fan of Drive cams. A DUI driver cross the Centerline hitting me head-on at 85 miles an hour. I survived but the other driver was not so lucky. I was exonerated by the drive cam video. The surviving relatives had no standing in court. However, use of a drive cam to invade my privacy, not cool. Tate has no policy protecting personal privacy while in the cab of their trucks. Besides, they pay about 40% less than Walmart, Ryder, or Old Dominion. If you're going to be out all week with a home time 34-hour reset, you're better off shopping your talents around the industry.
