    Any company that touts religion, says your hometime and family are important, says you get respect, yada,yada... If they have to put that stuff in advertisement s or wear it on their sleeve they are phony baloney plastic banana. You would know these things at a real company without it ever being mentioned .

    I worked for Covenant for 14 months and yes they WILL charge you for over idle if they see fit. Not everyone will be charged. They can do what ever they want go a head and sue a major company like this and see how far you get. You will run out of money and they will tie it up in court for years.

    When me and my wife drove team for them the only problem we had was getting home when we wanted. The longest we stayed out was 14 weeks
    I told my DM to get us home or I was going to put the rig in the ocean,lol

    over all never any problems with pay.

    I do know this of you treat the DM and FM poorly and I can see that you would only make about $4

    I've heard other former Covenant drivers say the same thing. I know of one who is with our company say that when he drove for them they kept him in L.A. doing shuttles for a month till he finally quit. then they didnt have any place there to drop the truck an trailer off so he paid for fuel himself to get to a terminal somewhere and is now in a lawsuit over pay and money owed.

    Why would anyone go work for a bunch of religious freaks? That should've given you red flags you could smell all the way from Terlingua
