gray transportation waterloo ia

Figured I would make a new post about them be upfront and honest.
Considering the last post I seen was in like 2009
Have been with them about 2 months now so still new so not much info on them yet but here is what I know.
Not the best company by far but not the worst.

Bad points:
1.They do lie(I know hard to believe) Was told .34cpm make .31 oh,well no big deal
2.No pay for orientation (2 days) and no road test RED flag
3.A lot of short haul same day next day delivery
4.horrible equipment (at least what i drive is junk but passes the dot)
5.No reimbursement for scales or tolls
6.There shop is a joke unless its something that will stop you from moving forget about it being fixed except tire guy he is pretty good about getting tires
About it really still new to them but its a job atm would i recommend them...HELL NO!

Good points so far:
1.home every weekend(sometimes not till sat. afternoon but its the weekend)

2.haul 90% john deere parts 80% drop and hook

3.e-logs (love/hate with them still)

4.They pretty much go by the book log book wise(so far)

5.Not making a killing but its a check.That's about all I have to say about them so far but like i said still new here so will post more later.

Another note: Some of the drivers here...wow down right scary(driving wise I mean) but think that's everywhere and some of them dam,good drivers

Please keep in mind would not label them as a horrible company but not great I would say one of the cheapest company's out there for sure

 

Yeah,that's what I thought to but needed a job asap still looking just hate changing jobs.Going to try and stick it out but if things get were it can't pass D.O.T. then guess its back to the farm or factory for awhile (C.S.A. score is really bad mine that is bad local company years ago long story short)I never heard of a company not giving road tests either except for my first job and he only had 2 trucks so not really a company lol

 

Well,sorry have not posted much been busy with these little short hauls.And still learning about the company I know one thing don't make much money here but better then welfare by maybe a penny or two.
I did learn one thing they will hire about any idiot off of the street with a c.d.l. just had to help a guy at the yard had his airlines on backwards(blue to red red to blue) thought he had an air leak then could not figure out how to get the tractor headlights on...yeah scary I know.And he was going out by himself no trainer just got out of truck driving school

 

Yeah like I said before not horrible just not the greatest either but then on the other hand never seen one that is great.
As far as the equipment passing idk maybe I just got spoiled by driving nicer trucks and trls.
As far as the meat side of gray I have no idea how that is yet only hear say to be honest hope I never have to haul that.
All I can really say about them so far not big on complaining about the small stuff at least I try not to

Be safe

 

biggest I have seen is 616 2600 miles yeah,not very good

 

Those 9.5% must be really bad lol and as far as the office I stay as far away as I can from them lol
