Beware! Twin Express Rogers,MN

Saw one of they're drivers the other day in eagle pass tx and he was a samoli refugee if that tell ya anything.

 

They are always, always spamming Craigslist, 200 or more miles away. All the people that live close by know better

 

Thanks. I'm looking for a decent company that has freight lanes to and from Mn and Oregon with time off on each end. (If possible)

 

I drove for a company in Omaha that twin express bought out. I was there about 7yrs when they fully took over. Needless to say, I left a little over a month ago and Went to a local company. I don't like being micromanaged and that's what they do. My smallest check since I left has been 1200.00 and I only work 5 days per week. Best decision I ever made.

 

Worked at twin express for a year. Terrible company. Truck had exhaust leek which I made them aware of but nothing happened till I almost died one night in it. They have brand new equipment that breaks down all the time. In one month my 19 kw broke down 3 times 2 of which had to be towed. First several months months got good miles then they started screwing me. They have the worst accounts and you will find yourself sitting due to all kinds of issues. They repeatedly ran me out of hours at shippers and receivers where you can't stay even when advised it would happen. You will never get home on time so you can never make,any plans. If I had a choice between McDonald's or them I would live in the bushes,on the side of the freeway first.

 

i worked for twin and had a decent dedicated route fron mn to ohio. they were fair to me and i was able to court my now-spouse. try dating when ur a trucker. yes they expected me to work hard but i couldnt sleep anyhoo so what the hey. they usually managed to get rid of the deadwood brokers like steve k. and dave l. good riddance the sluuuhhh christine. i got along with kim, cj, dennis, the old gang. The Panther

 

I gave them a try the first three weeks were great I got awesome miles the only downside i had at first was trying to get maintenance to do anything truck needed drives and they didnt care so i adopted the same attitude but once i put in for home time there attitude changed i was flat out asked if it was important like a drs appt and if not it wouldn't be granted i made it clear i was going home so i got a reset in after that though i was kept at 1700 miles a week till they made the mistake of getting me close enough to say screw it and bring it back my dispatcher flat out told me though when we argued bout going home after 3 weeks that his drivers aren't allowed till 5 or 6 weeks I just laughed mabe drivers do that but not me theres enough little companies that pay better and let u go home after 2 or 3 weeks

 

Usually it’s because they are so desperate to fill trucks.
