    I've been trucking for quite some time and i have worked for several companies and some or worse than others and the ones that are worse you always will remember. Mcleod Express is probably one the worse there is in the trucking industry , i only say that because they gave me the opportunity to see them in action. I truly believe that part of their requirement for employment in management is to have an uncaring soul and be able to lie and decieve just as if you really could care less about anyone but the company making money, and this includes EVERYONE within the organization that walks upstairs to an office at their terminal in Decatur, IL. Sure all trucking companies are in business for profit but Mcleod goes a step further and looks to take from the driver. It's a shame you have to watch a company closely because they may try to nickle and dime you to add to their net earnings by skimming money from your pay. There is no integrity within the company and there deffinitely is no respect, and most of the drivers there have been with the company less than a year and they don't appreciate the ones that remain and put up with their shyster operation. Being a trucker we have enough to worry about on the road without the added worry of being used until you finally figure out that there is no future or living to be made with this company....:biggrin_25513:..Just a friendly bit of advice, watch them closely.

    Can you give examples of what they did to you? Did they not make good on their weekly guarantee?

    If you are going to post negatively about about company, it is best to provide specific examples of how they wronged you. That's not to say that there haven't been tons of negative reviews of McLeod...

    Doesn't matter. The same principle still applies, and that is specifics do help.

    So how is McLeod now? I just talked to an outside recruiter and he made them shine. Was thinking about going there but not to sure now.
