Greatwide Truckload Dallas Mavis

I started with this company in the container division ran two containers and after that ran power only loads off the load board. The agent didn't communicate properly and kept me in the blind first week was the only week I made any money as a owner operator with this company. The other weeks I made company driver money everything less than $1,000. Next I went to the other agent within the company running dry van. First week with that agent I also sat until Friday didn't make any money rest of the weeks I still made less than $1000 which lead me to have to give up my truck because I was making payments and couldn't make enough money from the company to afford my truck note. Didn't even get my last check because they ran me ragged for cheap loads close to 1000 miles. So it got used up in fuel and was in the negative when I got my settlement. Greatwide is not a good company and as a owner operator they'll tell you that you have to run across country to make any money with them. They take 25% and dispatch will try to push you to run in inclement weather. Recruiting will lie to you and sell dreams, don't believe it. They run off the load board like Uber freight and other load boards that regular small companies use, the bottom of the barrel loads. I ran close to 3000 miles and still didn't see a paycheck. STAY AWAY!! Fair warning!!

 

I gotta friend that ran for them pulling flatbed. He had a nice KW through lease, but it was difficult for him to consistently get loads. He had to pick up an oversize in I think New Mexico, thay actually paid well. He picks it up, on a Friday, but they failed to tell him that it was for another lease driver. He ties down the load with his own equipment, the escorts are yelling at him to unhook so they can get down the road while there was daylight, and the agents are saying they'll find him something that following Monday. The agent wanted my friend to pick up that load and give it to the other driver(who was banned from that particular shipper). My friend said the hell with that, and took that load right back to the shipper lol. He deadheaded home and quit Great Wide. Everything you described in your post is a lot of what he went through. I'm not so sure how customer freight they have. I think at one time they had a lot of customers but everything my friend was hauling was purely broker loads.

 

Driver not sure what you talking about. I have been with them now almost 7 years. What you are saying is not correct all the way. No one makes you run across the country. You can book and run your loads. You are not allowed are is required to pick up a load for a different driver because he is not allowed at a shipper. You can repower a load if you want. It’s your call. Do agents lie yes. If you fall for it it’s on you for not knowing what you are doing. I am about to leave them not because of money are them. But because my health is not like what it was before. So I am going to go do Amazon local. If they would allow us to run Amazon loads I would not leave here.

 

I’ll throw my 2 cents in on this and say that running or domiciled to an agent is absolutely not the way to go. Don’t know about flatbed but van is low low low on the rate. They show 2.50-3 a mile and that’s not true. Also wanting to switch to an agent or go to central from an agent you will find that it won’t happen at your request. It’s based on the permission of the agent. This makes you a glorified company driver not an owner operator. 2 months here digging trying and pushing I’ve done good to clear 1450 in a week after fuel and deductions. That was staying out 2 weeks. Transfreight Dallas Mavis cheetah it’s all the same just a different sticker.

 

You can move from agent to central if you don't owe your agent any money. Also if you come in with lease truck that they help you to get will hold you back. If domicile you don't need permission to go to central been there done that. If I remember it's 90 days in then you can move back and forth as you wish. If you wants move talk with Pam and if you can move before your 90 days she will help. If not ask for Sean and as pull. He is a big boy there. FYI. Flats as good money but it's which agent you deal with. I am here almost 7 years now and is leaving but not sure if I wants to leave. Your biggest mistake was to Domicile because you cannot see there agent load broads. Your block from it. If your back ground is clean and your a citizen ask them for Jim. Are just say the government agency. They will not tell you this. But all he does Uncle Sam loads. And I was I could run is loads. Give you a sample 500 miles 3500 to 4500 no bs talk this is the real deal I am gonna look for is number and send it to you

 

502-257-7653 are 989-317-3303 Jim military loads only they have the loads with the money. Flats are van.

 

I appreciate it

 

Any time there. Try to get on there load braid if you can. Then from there search by states and you will see agents that have loads. Not all them pay good but it gives you an idea who have there own loads. Stay on central what ever you do. I book all my loads. They will say we cannot use them mc. Don't run with that I have all of them on book all my loads bro
