Covenant Transport - Chattanooga, Tn.

my wife worked for covenant for 45 days and only got 225 dollars she was refused layover pay.put up with sexual harassment .got threating phone calls and wasnt paid for all her loads then was told she owed them money.please do not work for this company and id like to know how i can reach the owners of this company or if any one knows how to get her her money

 

This is what I did when JB Hunt was messing with us. I went to their website and down on the bottom I found the webmaster email address. I blasted them there. Now that's not the purpose of the email address but it got the attention of the VP of Operations and he replied and I had his email address to continue on. I threatened them with a law suit and let him believe I had an attorney already on this. We made out ok. Got most of the money back. I still dispute the truck escrow amount but that will be taken care of. Good Luck.

 

thanks mr whisper but coveanant doesnt have a web master email address im sure they know how rotten they are so they found a way to not put it in there web site or hide it is there any other forums that i can tell my story to.my dad was a trucker all his life and growing up the trucking industry was never like this .what haoppened to the trucking industry.

 

Well the poet, sorry your wife had it so bad at Covenant. I drove for them for a little over a year, and while there were some ups, it was a year mostly full of disappointments. Sounds to me like you and your wife are better off without them. Good luck to you, if I can find my blue book I will try and find some phone numbers for you.

 

I am very dissapointed to here about this much trash on Covenant Transport. I had been seriously thinking of going with these folks. From other readings around the internet, it was sounding like Covenant was a very good company to drive team with. Now, they have move down my list of favorites. I just hope all this negative stuff on here is real and my team will not be missing a possible good opportunity. They were in my top five possible company's. I only have one left in my top five and by time its over they too will probably be moving down.

 

you'll find bad and good here about just about every company. but some of them stand out as worse than others. i went to school with two guys who had driven for covenant and both were not happy campers! have you checked out crst? i think they might be decent team company.:smt026

 

Unfortunately cdr is right, every co has its up and downs, but with some cos there are more downs than ups. My time at covenant wasn't as bad a some other people's, but then I was always ready to run however I needed to (illegally) to get a load where it needed to go.
I am not proud of how I ran, I am just telling it like it was. And for people who don't mind running outlaw, well then they will keep you going.

 

I live right here in Chattanooga, and they are the LAST company I would consider working for. Even before they built their big Corporate Headquarter building along side of I-24 with the training facilities, they were horrible to work for.

Back then, they were located on 23rd St., also just off of I-24 and it seemed like every week, there was someone calling on the CB looking for a ride out of town because they had had enough.

Pick up any trucking industry publication, and you will find their advertisements in their painting a picture of pure utopia inside the front or rear cover, one of the most expensive places in which to advertise.

There's a big reason for that. They are constantly churning warm bodies in and out of those trucks.

I know that this is repetitive to some, but when you read about a man who was dispatched to recover an abandoned truck out in the far west, sent by bus to do it, and discovers that the previous driver took a dump on the mattress in the sleeper as a final statement of disapproval of the company, it just doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy about them.

 

Turbo, you're absolutely correct. If I sounded like I was endorsing them, then that's my bad. I just want anyone who is considering them to understand what they 'want/require' of their drivers.
gotta love their ads, they find the 5 happy people there and slap them all over their ads.
The dump on the mattress is a new one, must say that IS all that one needs to know about 'em.

 

I've often wondered if the people "featured" in the advertisements that we see on various companies are even actual employees of the companies they claim to work for.

Covenant ran an advertisement a few months back, featuring a husband and wife, who supposedly bought this huge farm in Tennessee near here, and had bought it "mortgage free" with the proceeds of their hard work after five years with Covenant. I understand that a husband and wife team can do well just about anywhere, but that's a stretch.

I'm betting the picture of the property was David Parker's.

I'd love to truly find someone that will offer that they have actually seen the people in an advertisement, driving a truck for the respective company, and that goes for ANY company out there.
