    There is a lot of things you wont find out about this company till its to late for example there health insurance.They dont advertise family benefits anymore because they have a new policy.If you work for Tango and you would like to put your husband or wife on there insurance there will be a few requirements.Your spouse cant work for anyone who offers them insurance because if they do Tango wont let you put them on there insurance and it doesn't matter if they are having to pay a thousands dollars a month Tango doesn't care. Also there payroll is bad about making mistakes on your pay check.For example they will forget to hold an advance and two weeks down the road they decide to hold it out or they will say they didn't get your load info and short you up to 800 bucks on your check and tell you will have to wait till next week to get your pay.I can say one good thing about them.They are pretty good about getting you home.One more thing is Vacation.5 days the 1st year with 100 per day with one day added per year. Up to 10 days. Iv'e talked to several drivers who told me they didn't get payed there 6,7,8,9,10 days because they didn't know about it and Tango didn't put it on there check.Also they have a policy if you wait more than 14 days after you find a mistake on your payroll you lose it.But if they make a mistake and pay you to much it doesn't matter how long they can still get there's back. Good luck with Tango they are vicious.

    So much BAD information here but let me give you another side:

    Ok I dont personally know as I was leased onto them BUT I have heard this was true!!

    I was with Tango for 2 years and can count on my left hand how many mistakes were made. But the real problem lies with you NEEDING to take an advance!! 99% of jobs in America dont give advances for personal use so why do truckers think they should get one?? If the advance is used for business related expenses then it would have been reimbursed provided you turn in your receipt.

    This happened ONCE, all I had to do was give them the Confirmation # off of the TransFlo and I was offered a ComChek or for it to be deposited then or with next weeks pay!

    Now this is NOT TRUE!! While going over my settlements after I had left them I found where I was not reimbursed for a lumper. This was OVER 30 days later!! All they requested was for me to fax a copy of that settlement and ALL the pages from that TransFlo with the Transflo receipt with the confirmation # on it. Not 30 minutes later they called me back with a ComChek number good for $306, $300 for the lumper WITH interest!!!


    Yeah they are,Last September I got sick and needed emergency surgery while in Memphis and ended up in ICU for 4 days. When I came to my parents, fiance, AND Ivan Buckner were there at the hospital. They put my fiance on the first flight to Memphis and PAID for 2 hotel rooms for my fiance and parents for 11 days WITHOUT NO ONE ASKING THEM TO! Not only that they had someone pick up my truck from the Ramada there in West Memphis that I checked into cause I was deathly sick AND STORED it on their yard at West Memphis until MARCH of this year until I had recovered!! They ALSO kept the tags and insurance on my truck, cause as we all know, that's required when it's financed thru Lone Mountain. The real kicker is even though I didn't go back to work for them THEY NEVER charged me for ANY thing and fully gave me my escrow back!!

    Tango may be alot of things, but vicious they are not!!

    So its tango fault you drew so much in advances you didn't receive a check?

    It's amazing the things people complain about.

    OK you can think as you wish.I don't get so many advances that I don't have a pay check left.I manage my money pretty well.I have a credit score of 700 if that tells you anything. Your probably an insider defending tango but I'm telling the honest truth about everything I said and can prove it.As for getting a receipt for an advance you should know better. But like I said as a insider your confused. Talk what you know.

    Also lumper is totally different from an advance.Just go online to your pay statement and look at the top of it and read what it says about the 14 days I talked about.

    Also tango has a horrible safety rateing.The unsafe driving is like 79% and the substance use is like 44% on the CSA score so most of the scales are pulling them in. I think they are in trouble.

    Well...the drivers need to stop getting drunk and driving like ########. What will happen is that DOT will come in and audit them. Tango will clean house, and hire new drivers that know better than to do stupid stuff.

    Besides, their score is really not that bad. I have seen much worse.

    Your pretty well accurate, prepass is still on but Ar,La, and all closed scales get green lite. No check this week,claimed I didn't get paperwork in ontime!Stayed over at Del rio Tx, last weekend wanted to know why idle was so high, temp was 102 to 105. 95% of the problems I've had here come directly out of the office! However they did promise to pay $150 dollars for layover the holiday weekend, but didn't get home for hometime and will have a grand total of 2200 miles for this week!

    Dang Lost I didnt Know you had went through this glad you pulled through

    But I have to agree with Lost only reason i left was i wanted to be independant and my truck was too heavy for half of their loads even though i could have them pull some off which I liked Fill up with fuel go load weigh 81K and they have to pull off a 8K or 9K rool taking me down to 72K and I went home when ever i wanted to
