Liars. Beware if your company gets bought out by these crooks. They will give you the “it’ll be just like always just a different name on the door”. They will make promises like “we’ll keep the current team togaether”, then proceed to push the old companies drivers out, fire whatever office staff is left, then they will keep all the good equipment/freight for themselves while leaving the old company’s driver with the leftover garbage.
One of the only good 48 state otr companies left. Equipment is well taken care of. Pay is competitive and you’ll get the miles which counts considering the shaky freight market. There’s companies that might offer much higher per mile or “salary” but those companies won’t have the freight or the miles, or they are burying themselves. Holland has always had a good solid base and reputation. There’s no bs and they leave the drivers alone. Trucks are well taken care of and equipped with huge refrigerators, tv (optional if you want a tv in the truck or not, but it’s nice to have so I suggest why not go for it). No micromanaging, there’s none of that “fuel solution” garbage like the mega’s use.
When I first joined them 9 years ago the original owner was in charge and it was a great company. Since the owner’s kid took over it became a mismanaged joke.
Great company if you want to run. They have the miles even with today’s freight recession. Equipment is well maintained. Not perfect but good enough that it’s likely I’ll when it’s time for me to retire someday it’ll be from here. They pretty much do what they say the will do.
Forget about honesty with this company. Pay is percentage and good luck getting information as to what your next load is paying, and even if they tell you your paycheck will show even less. You’ll get a really good paying load running up to the north. East band dead head back down for nothing. Forget about being legal because to two liars in the Virginia office will force you to PC illegally while their “former dot cop” safety dept looks the other way. Almost went broke with these clowns. Applied to do otr but was baited & switched into northeast regional which meant working out of their “terminal” in Virginia. Forget about getting an honest answer to questions, they get evasive and secretive. Orientation was sloppy and held in a filthy room upstairs near the shop office so you get to hear their “maintenance director” scream at people at the the top of his lungs. Speaking of maintenance, the equipment was garbage. Trucks are t cleaned at all between drivers. They are often filthy especially the mattress. In fact if you’re unlucky enough to be stuck at their run down “shop” they will have you borrow someone else’s truck while they drive yours around… with your belongings in it. There is no real place to rest at that main yard so you get shoved off to the local flea bag motel in a room where other drivers come and go as they please. You have no privacy. Home time was a joke. The minute I got home the two clowns in Virginia would blow up my phone wanting me to go right back out again. There was no getting a moments peace with these people. Also the dispatchers in the Iowa terminal were absolute morons.
