Covenant Transport Inside Info

Nice

 

Many of their drivers hang out at that little pit stop & block the fuel islands and take up parking spots with bobtails. I understand the teams with hazmat do really well there though.

 

I worked for Covenant from 2012 to 2014. Unless things have changed, you are a liar

In regards to the white house in Chattanooga :

We had a free shuttle during the day
We had 2 TV rooms
We had clean showers
We could use the Gym, you just had to get the card from Night dispatch
If you were laid over for truck problems or whatever you could catch the shuttle and stay at the Covenant motel for free(nasty motel but that's besides the point)
If you were there during the day they had a pretty decent Cafeteria on the second floor.
I NEVER EVER had any security take my cell phone or camera and I used to have a big DSLR around my neck at all times.. I got pics of my dispatcher(Fred Klaus) and myself/team mate

I was a Hazmat team driver, we both made over 53K the first full year.. My trainer was getting paid 75 cpm for all miles plus a bonus after the student passes .. We ran over 4000 miles every week(during training) with mostly drop and hook fedex ups loads, you do the math on how much trainers can potentially make

Was it a perfect company ? Hell no, but I don't regret getting my start there

 

I work there currently and yes, they bulked up security.... No, they do not take your cell phone. They have home time rules. And they follow that fairly well. I don't like it but I know what I signed up for. Will get my time in and probably leave over it.... Thats besides the point because they give you what they advertise. If you don't mind teams then this is not a bad company to work for. So swift..... Pls.... Time to get back to work :^)

 

Last time I went to Chattanooga they allowed drivers to use gym...

Drivers have a TV room, laundry, shuttles to store,

Covenant is an OK company if all you want is miles, money, and basic truck.

If you want somebody to hold your hand, be called by your name and not trk number, you might want to work with a smaller company and their politics.

Everything has and advantage or disadvantage I guess. Still learning a lot...

 

I am going to Covenant this week are they decent to get some experience with and then go on at least?

 

If you dont mine teams, sure

 

If you don't want teams, look at Titan Transfer. It's coast to coast dry van and trucks have APU.
They also hire drivers that have a gap in driving.

 

I have only been with Covenant a few weeks, but so far it's going great and when I read the OP, I had to double-check the company name because it doesn't match my experience at all, which has been nothing but positive so far.
