Former Employee - Mar 31, 2024

Oh boy where to begin, was expecting the company to be head and shoulders above the previous company after hearing a bunch of drivers out on OTR say they heard great things about the pay and the culture. Then orientation comes and my first red flag was when the speaker made a reference to the high turnover and they would never be done hiring. That should have been my warning to run. Their dispatch and leadership management is a joke, high turnover, was suppose to make more at VTC and made way less than previous employer. Very dishonest company.

Pros

Free clothing stipend.

Cons

Management, incompetent dispatch, discriminating practices.

Former Employee - Aug 5, 2023

Hard to break in as a new driver. Especially discouraging when stuck on shuttles paying 100$ and the driver loading beside you is getting a 900$ load and will do a lot less work than you. The equipment looks nice but as a new driver you will get a truck that has been neglected as a spare or been parked a long time. Mine would not idle overnight to keep bunk comfortable without setting off alarms for a regen and disturbing your rest. If your young and single this may be tolerable but for someone that is experienced, has minimal damages as a hauler and a clean driving record, it's unacceptable

Pros

Pay, if you can earn it

Cons

Too big, you are just a number

Great company that takes care of drivers first. Keep you running when you want with balance in home time.

Pros

Best equipment , no messing around top get fixed. Won't do work for less money. Reinvest in all aspects to retain driver. Very understanding of driver issues day to day.

Cons

Peoplenet tablet only issue

Orientation was nice. Very professional. Equipment is good, but VTC needs to understand that good equipment is not going to stop drivers from leaving the company. Nice equipment only goes so far and it takes a total package to keep good car haulers on board. Advertised pay package is false. If you wanna be away from home, sleeping in a truck and running $66.00 loads, this may be for you. No professional car hauler should be running a 9 car stinger at $66.00 a load. Dispatchers keep you waiting all day for loads. You may get something after you burn half your hours. I was very disappointed with my experience at VTC.

Pros

Good benefits

Cons

$66.00 load pay

Have been here going on 3 months. Pay has been great. The equipment is top notch! Home time is ok since I live just outside of Baltimore. I usually run South and then grab a load going N. East. If you're afraid of Long Island or the N.E. probably not for you. But there are drivers that don't go there but they are few.

Pros

Equipment and pay are great. Support has been great.

Cons

Northeast for some is a problem but I don't have an issue the pay makes up for it.
