Altom Transport

Gizzmo, where do you run? southwest, west coast , any canada ?

 

We have 2 dispatchers, but 1 is strictly for safety kleen. The other is, well, kinda a scatter brain. Forgets to send stuff all the time. The lead mechanic isn't very motivated. 2 drivers I know have been in multiple trucks. One has been in 4 different trucks and the other was in 3 before he quit (for other reasons not related to that)

 

I think you posted on the wrong thread ?

 

Nope. I'm leased to Altom and I'm out of the indy terminal.

 

Oh, i was just wondering where you guys run mostly ,Im from Pittsburgh 48/ canada/ cali ? Any Az.?

 

I was just in AZ 2 weeks ago. Problem was not much coming out. Been to Canada plenty. Trying to get a load to Alaska. So far nothing. We do have primary areas, but yes, we do lower 48.

 

Does ALTOM use elogs?

 

Yes they do.

 

I just recently left Altom, (semi-retired after many years on the road). I was there 14 years as an O/O. One of the best companies I have worked for. Their equipment is top notch and driver friendly. As with all companies, pay is what it is (percentage for o/o and company drivers) I earned good money while I was there with a minimum of hassle. Checks were always there and never bounced. Dispatch was friendly and always worked with me. Payroll department was good and I only had a couple of problems in my time there and they were taken care of asap.

Their company trucks are first class and O/O spec. I was never without a load unless it was my choice not to run. All in all, I enjoyed my time there.

 

Hey guys I just received my copy of a lease with them and would like a lot more information from there o/o's , I live in new york and dispatch said they could get me home on a regular bases, what kind of weekly mileage and revenue . I'd like to finish my last ten years with another good company.
