    What kind of deductions do they take? There's no way I'd pay $300 a week for trailer and insurance. Hoping that isn't right.

    I would be very careful. Did some further research.
    A company called "Common Trans" is doing business as ATS Freeway. I looked for Common Trans on the SAFER web. Their number is 2094527. There is no record in the data base.

    This company is out of Elk Grove Village Illinois.....the same area that is notorious for Ukranian Trucking companies that operate like chameleon carriers. Not good.

    If something doesn't make sense or smell right......There is usually something wrong. I would steer clear.

    I got dat up with them a year after I made this post. The setup took 20 min or so. Rates are OK. I can't complain. I just use them to get to where I need to be.

    I could write a book on how awful this company is. They lie steel an munipulate your pay checks to keep you broke. 80% of there loads are heavy. They think you can only make money if you run north east. If you have a bad week they make it sound good an say they will hold back fuel to help you make money. When you have a great week then they bust you with the fuel they supposed to have held back weeks ago. If you have a truck n payment you'll be lucky to make 300-700 a week. If you own your truck then you may make some money 1500-2000. Be ware of the C.H. Robinson loads was always something fishy about the pay on those. They will tell you they can dispatch you any load but steve has no idea what the hell he's doing. Don't eBen think about running refer with them. You'll for sure go broke like I did.I have 5 buddies that work for these guys an we all wasted 1-2 years trying to make money listing to empty promises.In my opinion this company is absolutely GARBAGE.

    Already did some background on this company. All I can say is RUN AWAY! They are not ATS. They are one of the Russian rip off companies out of Chicago that play shell games.

    If you dont want a trailer payment,then you use there trailer for free @75%. Your trailer 82%. 88% you pay everything. I take home $3200-3600 a week if I stay out. When I leave the house I usually take home $2200-2500 that week.

    They are a terrible company . My brother drove for them ran him into the ground. They don't pay truckers or deduct from your check then have you restrained from property. They deduct from check for all damages on truck even when they were previously done by past drivers
    I have a lot to report and my next post will go into the dirt they do and it's extensive
