    The training is fine. It's two weeks with a trainer then on your own for our regional area, then two more weeks training then out further. There are four training sections. If you're good you'll go through it faster. The pay is good. Are you fresh out of school? This only applies for fresh students. It's a good company. There are a ton of bad places to work. I have had many offers but didn't leave. My dispatcher is great. Safety people are great. The shop is very helpful. Here's a great secret most truckers don't get. BE nice! I had one issue where I thought about leaving(communication break down) Chris hummer call me personally and dealt with it. If you have an issue just call the owner(of course try normal channels first). I would and have suggested hummer to friends and family!

    I haven't done team. But if it says it in the website it's true. They don't mess around here. Remember if your new you still do training pay! Even that is better than a lot of companies regular pay though. This is the kind of company you get lucky to find. Unfortunately new guys don't know that till they quit and try a new place. If you leave do it nicely so you can return. A lot of guys leave then come back.
     
    Bobtail Barry Thanks this.

    They came out with new pay in March. It's pretty good. Benefits are very good. Equipment is clean and newer. I had questions today and ended up chatting with the owner.
