Howard Transportation | Ellisville, Mississippi

Sorry for the bump, I've been MIA for awhile. I didn't stay long with them, the dispatcher I had was heavy on micro managing and it wasn't a good fit for me personally but you might have a different experience.
I averaged. 2100 miles a week when I was with them.

I want to go ahead and explain what led to me leaving in case it helps anyone or they feel it might not even apply to them.
When I was hired I was told I would be home most weekends, if not all. I was almost exclusively out for 10 days and would get home on a following Tuesday or Wednesday. I would ask to stay home for a couple days and was told if I did that I would have to stay home until Monday and they don't run that way. I didn't have much issue with this as my dispatcher said they could get short loads to have me back by Friday or would put me out to run hard and give me 3-4 days off the following week. I managed to get a lot of loads leaving out that would pickup Friday to deliver Monday but would be only 2-300 miles away and there was no additional pay. I didn't ultimately have an issue with this, except for where they had told me during orientation "you will never sit on a weekend for more than 24 hours and if you do you will be compensated layover." I never saw layover as my dispatcher always told me I had a load and they couldn't pay me additional. All of these were small issues to me but added together to be too much. I requested a different dispatcher though to hope things would get better and was told my dispatcher was the only one that could take me on. So I ultimately left and took a break from OTR after HT.

Again, my issue is not yours, I do not want to spread anything bad about HT as I did have a lot of positive experiences. I feel most the issues I encountered were just because my dispatcher and myself were just not a good fit for each other. I like to consider myself a hard worker, and I've never had any late deliveries or pickups with any company, minus any breakdowns out of my control, and I've only ever been early. So HT was just not a good fit for me.
