Covenant Transportation

Never drove for this company, but my company contracts them to haul for us, and on occasion, I have had to pull one of their miserable trailers from a DC to another DC. Based on that I think I would never have anything to do with them Unless maybe I was a new driver and couldn't get hired on anywhere else. I think that may be a good percentage of the driver force they seem to do a lot of damage on our yards as well.

 

You have 21 years exp and you went to work for COVENANT?...............

 

Mixing any of the following 3 is always dangerous - religion, government, business.

Don't believe me, look up the definitions of the following 3 words - Theocracy, Fascism, Communism. All 3 are mixes of at least 2 of the first set of 3.

I'd like to be their on judgement days when the CEO has to explain his deeds and account for all the people he's screwed over in the name of the lord, how can he sleep at night

 

150% turnover rate? WTF? People will say anything.

 

I worked for them for 5 years and quit in august when they had payroll problems. 3 weeks without a paycheck broke me. they r no different then any other company out there today. cheap pay, low miles and hard to get home. today trucking companys r hirin more drivers than they need to make sure they can cover busy times when they need to. they can do this because gone r the days of gettin .48 cpm

 

Yeah, if that were the case, Covenant wouldn't keep a driver for more than 6 months.

 

.......Well. not sure if it can hold up in court,but they do charge for over idle. it is down to 10% any over that you get charged. its also onmy online paystub as extra charge. I usually stay right at or under 5% idle.
