FirstExpress

It's a good company. Same group owns First Fleet & Averitt. Stay away from First Fleet though.

Thank you for the kind words, there is no longer any common ownership with FirstFleet or Averitt now. 100% family owned and operated

 

I always get worried when the word "family" is used in business!! Usually means you stiffed harder and they do it with a smile on their face...........

 

16 years and I haven't been stiffed yet, hard or soft!

 

Or you have been and too numb to realize it.............

 

THEY STEAL from their Drivers - they are inflexible with which Dealership you take the truck to (Lavergne, TN only) - (Operationally) they force you to operate Illegally i.e. want you to finish a delivery while on your break - And you will have Fatigue Issues with running through-out the Night from 2200 to 1200 shifts on Kroger Loads possible - FORCE DISPATCH!!! - unable to be flexible with how you are Fatigued - they will shut your truck down for Repair or Oil-change and want you to log it as in the Sleeperberth when you've been out of the truck - They charge you up to $1000 per any occurrence of any damage whether it's your fault or not (there word vs. your word)- the owner assumes no responsibility for the liabilities of hiring a Driver - auto calculates an inconvenient Fuel stop on your required route - Averitt is the better option of this 3-headed monster (First express, First Fleet, and Averitt) - best options in this Area 1. Big G express 2.Interstate Dist. 3. Crete

 

Drivers dont seem to be happy. Sure sign of trouble when you are checking out where to work.
