EPES TRANSPORT-Greensboro, NC

I knew they had a lot. Didn't know it was that many though.

 

No problem .

 

Just cleaned out my Truck five minutes ago. Drove for them for seven days and had to call it. Castrated Trucks that cant pull a incline faster than 56, low mile dispatches with way to much time. Stayed out my first weekend to run some miles. Was given two dispatches totaling 500 miles. To many restriction for me and don't even get me started on their high value loads and not being able to stop at all in the first 200 miles!

The Magtec device alone is worth quitting over!

Im not saying Epes is a bad place to work, just not a good fit for a Driver that expects to run and enjoy the freedom of being a Truck Driver. Epes has it's place in the Industry, a good place for new Drivers. If one is experienced and likes freedom, one will feel imprisoned there.

DM was a sweet heart, weekend Dispatch was clueless as seemed their Maintance associates. Recruiter did tell me the Company had no Idling policy when I asked. In Orentation, bombshelks were dropped. No handless headset, no pulling on side of road, no U-Turns and a 30% Idle policy. Could also at times be forced into NYC.

If you're looking to get your foot into Trucking, Epes may be the place? If you have a few years or more experience and come from a unrestricted Driving environment, Epes will smoother you.

Typed in a moving Car on my Cell... forgive mistakes.

 

Hope you weren't texting and driving..ahem..cough...cough

 

Was a Passenger, GF was Driving. Can't stand people who Text and Drive. Thanks for asking. lol!

 

Lol no worries

 

I'm interested in getting on with Epes!! I applied for a dedicated account just opened up for Home Goods in Gainesville, Ga. Home every night Monday-Friday and occasional Saturday. Is it easy to get on with this company?

 

Have been gone over two years. They were picky back then , could not tell you about now. Was good to me overall.

 

Is there any way you can send me a PM? I've been with them about 8 months now and so far so good!

 

A few more weeks and I'll have my one year anniversary. Company is still making it so that I don't want to seek employment elsewhere. There are some good people here.
