    I know they are owned by Pitt Ohio Express, the LTL outfit out of pittsburgh. I guess they are the truckload side of the company, and they are paid by the hour, same as Pitt Ohio.

    Yes. Pitt Ohio owns 51 % of ECM. ECM transport is a joke.. There people think because you drive for them you don't have a life out side of them.. I worked for them and they like to play way to many games. And they like to edite your log books to so you can keep driving not worrird about if your to tired to run as long as you get that last load for them they don't care.. If you have driving time or not they will ask you to do it anyways and they will edite your log books for you to do it.. I had a 16 hour day I used one day and then they wanted me to go pick up 5 skids somewhere and I told them I didn't haVE THE DRIVING TIME TO DO IT.. So they sent me a quail com message and said they edited my logs. So I went and did it anyways. Then I get there and the place told me they called them at 2 pm and told them the five skids where canceled but they didn't tell me about it and I tryed to call them and message them and no one would answer me.. And to top it off they ran a driver out to the same town they sent me to with an empty trailer and didn't ask him to pick the five skids up while he was right there!! But they adjusted my log books so I could have another 16hour day to run out there to get the 5 skids they knew wasn't there.. I thought ECM would be a good company to work for because Pitt Ohio owned them.. BOY WAS I EVERY WRONG ABOUT THAT!!! Oh and the pitt ohio people will always give you an attitude because they don't like ECM.. and its hard to get them to work on your truck if something is wrong with it.. and your dispatcher will make sure it wont get done to cause he wants to keep you moving no matter whats wrong with your truckk.. One more thing otr drivers get payed by the miles day cab drivers get payed by the hour with NO OVER TIME and thats why they run you like a dog!!! So I got POed at them and didn'y come in one day and they said I didn't show up for 2 days.. and they already gave my truck away the next day I didn't show up.. And called me and said I didn't show up for 2 days. When I did show up I was told by an employee of pitt ohio ECM called him and said I was to give him my keys and turn my stuff in that they gave me... I said no problem here you go.. They Lie and edite your log books don't need to work for someone like that!!!!
