Covenant, the verdict

its not a bad company it has bad drivers

 

i think your full of it no company can promise that you get home on time every time and that much miles every week wake up quite lyin

Good companies don't hire or keep bad drivers

 

I have been with Covenant since April/08. It's just a big company like any other one. It's a training company but they are now expanding their business to O/O and so far all the 3 O/Os I've talked to who are leasing Cov trucks are satisfied and running good miles. I am solo, run on a dedicated account, have a great load planner and dispatcher who keep me busy, rarely give me any problems, and help me whenever I need. The pay is not that spectacular but there are some conveniences hard to find anywhere else. Folks in the company (log dept/ safety dept/ fuel dept/ breakdown, shop, etc) have been very nice and I have no complains.

 

As for a good decision,if at all possible put trucking out of your head all together. Pick up aluminum cans ,wash cars,do what ever it takes,unless it's an absolute have to case.
