Nationwide Transportation - Omaha, NE

Well, I've been with these people since december and have not had any problems. They are very up front and the BS that you seeat a lot of other companies is just not there. As to the above, just a couple updates.

As to pay, it is negotiated between you and the company. $.34 is the baseline and if you don't bring it up, That's what you will be hired at.

We are buying new trucks, brand new 2011 volvos.

As of 2 months ago, ALL tolls except I-80 turnpike are reimbursed. For 80, you just need to get prior authorization from dispatch.

Home time is 1 day per week out, but they are flexible if you need an extra day every so often.

Layover/breakdown is availible IF you ask for it. Unfortunately there is no detention

Service area is as advertised denver/pittsburgh and south dakota/texas.

We are in the process of installing e-logs. Take that as you will.

There is a bit of waiting involved on some loads, meat seems to be the worst offenders.

That's about it, as I pretty much agree with the rest of the items on the above list. I know that I have really enjoyed working here and that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

Later,
Jeff

 

They are a bunch of criminals. They try to get you to run illegally, so you must be willing to do this. They also lied under oath to a department of labor judge. Do not drive for Nationwide.

 

Nationwide Transportion is a bad trucking company, do not drive for them. They try to get their drivers to run illegally, and they are a bunch of liars.

 

I worked for them for a year and a half got home 3 times in that time. Loads were always given later. Which made the driver late delivering. I did not ask to go home much. But when I did, they didn't get me home. My last load I asked to be home for 5 months. I kept reminding them every week. Before load to go home time, I told them on phone and on qualcomm "Do not give me another load after this, as I am due for home time." Went to shipper picked up. Drove to receiver and wrote on qc again "Do not give me another load after this as I am due for hometime". Got unloaded put my mt call in and another load popped up. I qc again to take it off me, due for hometime. They sent back to take it and they would get me back. I had to be home. No choice in the matter, I told them this. I was 90 miles from my house. Katie said, if I go home, I should clean out my truck. I did go home. On Tuesday I called and Charlie told me to pick up a load and bring the truck back to Omaha. And they would get me a airline ticket back home. I did deliver the load and delivered a sparkling clean truck to them. For being nice and delivering it to them. I got no pay on 2 loads= $650 + a 100. fine for not taking the load on my time off and they did not get me a ticket home. They escorted me off the property and called the hotel to not pick me up or give me a room. Well I got a ride to a hotel and have to stay for 2 days. But I start my new job on Monday. & my new company pays more. And pays detention which Nationwide did not and I even will have a better truck and boss says I will get home without a fight. Nationwide is a bad company to work for. If you ever are going to quit, Make them send you a non-refundable ticket home before you give them your truck and get your paycheck cashed first. Or they will screw you over also. They lie, cheat and steal from you. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!!!

 

less then 2500 miles a week most weeks. Once in a great while you would get 2800 but only because you got your paperwork in late and miles were carried over from the week before. They will be nice to your fae but it is all for show. Don't believe a word they say. They lie, cheat and steal.

 

Yes they are a bad company. I wish I had checked here before I hired on with them!

 

Dude that hideous looking thing is called a deer guard and it being on my truck saved it from complete demolition after I hit a deer at 70mph cause only damage the was was a busted headlite and minor damage to bumper so now what were toy saying.
