i worked there for almost 2 yrs, had a good experence as a solo driver, mostly due to my DM. went to trainer after 3 months there, and it sucked for the rest of the time there, dispatch/mang. ect. made a few bucks. but wasint worth the hassle. home time went out the window. and u can forget about ever getting out of the chatt terminal.
befor i left they had people sitting around that roach motel for 4-9 days just waiting for a trainer or to get assigned a truck. out of the hand few of freinds and 7 students i trained all have since left covenant usually within 6-9 months. its not a bad company to get your start in the indusrty, but there are deff better ones to choose from.

Well this company wasn't that bad for me, I mean sure it had it's downs. Like the $500.00 out of your check for very minor accidents that didn't cost nothing for them. I had problems with my first trainer, but my FM worked it out with me by getting another trainer. But they blamed me for a accident that wasn't even my fault and I wasn't even moving when it happen, officer wrote it wrong in the report and busted me for it. After my last accident I had, which was a rollover at 25mph and the load was locked, tagged and unsecured. They told me on the phone that they were going to sent me back to the terminal to get a new truck, but after I got there safety terminated me.

Company policy ?? Have a rollover=get issued a new truck ????? You didn't see that coming ???????????????

The Van Drivers that shuttle you around are a good source of info then the nightmare begins the hotel, stay at the Bates Hotel instead. The food they serve go to a local jail its much better. Orientation what can you say it is what it is. then you get a truck dont expect a rolls royce. Then you meet your fleet manager, mine I cant complain. then when the night dispatch comes on you get a message that says basicaly states if your not dead, dying, or upside down dont bother us. then if you idle too long they charge you for it!!! Thats right boys and girls go over idle they will take your money no warning like they say. money gone!! Then if you have a small incident like 200 dollars your trailer goes bla dont call breakdown. for a god fearing company you couldnt tell it by the verbage their supervisors use on the phone. regardless if you do 50.00/500 dollars of damange they will take 500 out of your check 25.00 per week.so use your own good judgement.Click to expand...

Covenant is a crap company. Most everyone will tell you this. As far as cutting cost and taking away pay and benefits, they lost 13.6 million dollars in the third quarter of this year. 2005 was the last time Covenant had a yearly positive income after taxes. Don't be suprised if Covenant ends up like Arrow. How they have stayed in business this long is beyond me.

are not most people the same? they hide behind religion. IF they approach you preaching and quoting Bible verses, beware more often than not-
