101 Transport

They finially put up a web site. They are currently located in Lakeland,MN but plan on moving to a different facility in Hudson,WI in Sept.

I leased my truck to them last month, They have plenty of freight with regular customers. Mostly drop and hook but some dock time. Good people. They've definately lived up to what I was told. They were great about getting the things fixed that were found wrong on the truck before sending me out and recently gave me an advance for a turbo replacement without question.

They do like to run you hard [usually 11 hours per day] but treat you fair.


I've been with them for under a month.

psychocreep looking foward to your update..looking at signingon with 101 myself

 

Sorry for not gettin' back sooner. I was leased to 101 with my own truck. Still the best place I've been. Lots of freight, easy to work with as long as you keep them informed of HOS and needed time off. I'm no longer there for other reasons [bank issues]

Give them a call!!!

They are now in Hudson,WI

 

Had dealings with 1 of there drivers yesterday morning at the T.A in Parowan Utah. It was snowing pretty good the night before, so the T.A. was packed. I was parked in a normal angled parking place. When I looked out at midnight, him and 8 other rigs were parked in 2 rows of 4 trucks in front of us where we would have to pull out from in the morning. I thought "great", gonna make for a fun morning beating on windows asking them to move so we can get out.
Wake up at about 0430 and the snow had stopped. Called DOT and the road is opened. About 0530 he wakes up (transport 101 driver). He's parked nose to nose with a Gordon truck. He try's to back up but his drives are just spinning, also I notice his tandems are froze up from the cold, they ain't moveing.
He doesn't get out once to check, he try's to jerk it, nothing happens, moves about a foot. Try's to go forward then back again, nothing. At 1 point he's got the drives spinning forward for 5 minutes ( the Gordon truck is 2-3 feet in front of him. Nothing, just spinning. Not once did he get out to check.
Sit on my bunk and eat something. Look out again too see his progess and he's wedged his right side trailer corner against the Swifts Trailer parked next to him. Now he's blocked these 8 guy's in. I finally see him get out and look, then he go's into the store.
He comes back and I get out and ask him the situation, told him I was hopeing to get rolling. He said he'd called a wreaker and started smirking as he told me Tuff !@##, I wasn't going anywhere for hours. I suggested he ask the Gordon driver to back up cause he'd get more traction going forward, he made a comment that I was an Idiot. I then told him his tandems were frozen, same comment. Then he told me, what's my hurry ? The roads closed, told him, no it's opened, he calls me me F#$% head as he climbs in his truck. (Truth be told I responded "F you A#$ Face.
I'm guessing his boss asked if he'd chained up, cause a half hour later he's laying chains over his rear drive's
Well finally it's getting light and I gotta drop in Mira Loma. I take a shot at it and with him parked in front me I can't quite get by the Werner truck parked on my left. I can see A@# Face in his mirror laughing at me. I ain't done yet, I back up and kick the front the of my trailer 2-3 feet more to the right. Try it again and get by the Werner truck by 6-12 inchs. "VICTORY" I guess misery loves company cause he sure looked depressed that my day wasn't ruined as I drove by him.
Guess nobody told him about G.O.A.L

 

What a dummy, I hope the tool has to pay for the tow truck out of his pocket. I would fell bad for him if he just tried a little not to make matters worse, and not rude to his fellow drivers.

 

That runkie dunkies needs a good Swagoochie put on him! Hope you called 101 and gave em the lowdown on this crackpot and his lazy no driving kiss my grits personna. Glad you got going though.

 

I just left my emploment with 101 Transport, after 2 months. The major issues with this Company is Payroll and the account Manager ( Jody ). It was a crap shoot every friday when I called my bank to see if I was going to be paid or not. 3 friday's out of 8 that I worked for this company there were no funds deposited in my account. The excuse was always the same. We did not get the trip pack envalope in time to process your payroll for the week. This company is very small Mom and Pa operation. There is no terminal In Hudson Wi. Just a building. No shop. If you are truly thinking about joining this Company, I hope you have enoungh money saved to be able to support your-self and family during the time you do not get paid. And I hope you never piss off the dispatchers because your miles will go down to nothing and they will force you to QUIT. Jody and Katie the dispatchers are great as long as you do not call them with a question or need help. If you do you will see the real unprofessional attitude that will be dis-played toward you. yelling and cursing at you like your a child

I would pass on this Company unless you are totally desperate and need a short time job.
