sweet express...grand rapids, mi

I would be carefull...someone has been posting on craigslist here in the detroit area to stay away from them...something about them being crooks...i dont know just saying what i saw..who knows

 

thanks for the heads up i read some bad post about them wasnt sure if they had a bad experience or they are not a good company thanks .

 

Not really 700 but we'll take 200 with trailers. It's the old Yamaha warehouse and office @ 3050 Breton Rd and The shop at 3060 Breton Rd. We're 2 companies in one Sweet Express and Omni Transportation former Excel 200 trucks running and about 35o trailers.

We do oversize loads there is only about 5 step and 2 Rgn's that are running. The rest are Van's.

There is a few people postig bad about us. Those would probably be the guys that were let go due to beeing caught with 3 24 packs of budweiser in the truck at the truckstop or holding hostage equipment because of personal reasons etc.

New location 3050 Breton Rd Kentwood,MI

 

I worked here for almost a year, some of the post Ive seen are disgruntled drivers, or as I call them idiots. Equipment isn't all that great older freighshakers however 70 mph, and they are quick to fix any problem what so ever, they have alot of customers in Grand Rapids, 90% chance when you take a load out of town your going right back to keep servicing those customers so truck service very good.Bad things are mostly east coast and they tell you to drive around all the toll roads even Ohio, makes for long drives and little sleep, but you will get miles 3200 to 4000, with the occasional west coast run. If you have a problem at home they will get you yesterday, just make sure you don't let your dispatcher burn you out, however its all about making money thats why your in a truck and not at home working for peanuts...

 

sweet express is owned by two brothers,and the company has roughly 160 company trucks ,plus owner operators.we run all 48 states and hire from all 48.alot of our freight does run to the northeast,but we do have freight that runs all over.at sweet express your ability to do youre job is what you are gauged by.this company takes care of those who do there job and promotes this company in a positive light.they are professionals and expect there drivers to be professional in there duties.sweet express is a up and coming company that the industry will shortly take notice of.I have been here for over 18 months and I have no plans to leave ...some companys say they are family oriented,,,but sweet express is actually running there company with that in the forefront of there everyday operations...FAMILY....is sweet. stop a sweet driver and ask them...youll see.

 

Hmm, that is weird.. 2 post were on hit wonders and well see from gator here. Seems like someone is just doing damage control or recruiting in a sneaky way.

 

As long as you want to do 6000 miles solo, a week, you get what you want.

 

Yea, as long as you're doing 6-7000 miles a week, it's family. Ahhh thats solo 6000 miles and no stop. Their gonna get theirs when someone kills a human. Then they'll change their name again, and the man from DOT gets his paper bag of $$$. sicken.

 

They suck suck as a company

 

I like to form my own opinions about companies and not just take the word of those with bad experiences .
Anyway, happy new year! 2014 may be a year of change.
