greatwide presented us what seemed like a great opportunity... we even got most of the information in writing, met the operations manager twice and discussed the position in person... then it happened, on day one of new job, we find out that we were lied to about several things... so drivers beware, and get everything in writing before leaving your present job... we've been around a while and worked for different companies, but never felt outright lied to... do they really think that we'll continue to work for them for very long?? How could anyone work for someone who lied to them.

What were the "several things" you were lied to about?
if you're gonna post post something we can use!!! -
I usually regard Greatwide as a decent company. Maybe some information was interpreted to you wrong. That is why you should get everything in writing, and constantly ask questions to the right people.

Are you company or O/O?

first lie...you will wait 5 hours at a backhaul an never ever be paid for it though its in the contract.. 2nd lie they tell you they need you an have plenty of work..3rd lie they tell you its a rotating board but its always the same day same time they call with the same crap loads... but other guys get same high paying jobs.. my dc was winter haven fl dedicated wal mart..

so, after being with greatwide for a while now, we can say that the little misunderstandings we had after day one are all definitely little things we can live with while working for a good company, great pay and benefits, and good people to work with... i think that job change is always a little stressful, and week one i caught the flu, but things have really run smoothly since then and we think we made a good choice... good team jobs are hard to find, the big companies with revolving doors that still keep contacting us may be right for some drivers, but we feel that we hit the jackpot and found the perfect job for us... we plan on being here for maybe the rest of our driving career... so hope this helps with anyone looking at greatwide as a possible employment option... good luck
