Got into this mess.
Brief review, company is Lithuanian, former driver owner so called. Company driver 60 cents per mile, check around 1000$ per week on my first ELD.Regional - depends where they put you, i got worse line available, through Chicago back and forth. Spent 3 months with them(Aug,Sept,Oct).
Orientation - that mofo who runs it is a goon, gangster like attitude with everything included, bell rings from the start.
Than - Truck assignment through road test near yard, yard is packed with empty trucks looks like drivers don't want work there - me either. Trailers in bad condition with issues.
Yard is very small, cant even park there, facilities very outdated and ugly, you can see this company is on free fall with morons in charge who does not care at all. Gated place, on arrival need call to Lithuania where Lithuanian answers you and opens a gate, once waited 2 hours at 1 am Saturday.
Payroll rude as hell, every time you call them they shout at you and dropping phone often.
Dispatch office is tiny with few people sitting there also Lithuanians.
Shop is also packed with Lithuanians and some polish, rap from 90s runs loud as hell there, can not hear what person talks next to you. Just a communist mafia in the heart of Chicago.Lithuania is former USSR.
They work like twats, you go get the load and 50% never deliver it, you need come to yard drop it, and pick up another loaded trailer dropped by other driver, thus you always have same 3000 miles every week, and burning a lot of time in traffic.
Now the most interesting part, after 2 months they called me to the yard and gave me another ELD - told me before that they want to help me make more money, never explained what is that for, just said upgrading system and my ELD has to be replaced; so the trick was that ELD was some way connected to outside of US so they were able to modify logs, started to run me day and night with small amount of sleep and check did not go up much, reached to 1700$ per week, lasted 1 month and quit that ####. Once had late loading spent 12 hours sitting waiting getting loaded, they paid me 15$ for that and in statement put as 8 hours only.Lots of manipulation and lies.
Bad experience overall, the fund deduction weekly escrow, they never returned to me, as well as last week also they kept, on my request answer was - your last statement is all you get.
Piece of #### morons and ####, really worst experience ever, dispatch acting like a ruler of the world and completely does not give a F about you.
constant stress from safety department, almost daily calls, talking camera inside cab, lack of sleep due to fake logs, small pay, constant pressure from dispatch, bad route inside and around Chicago all the time.
They lie everything to you on the phone before they take you to orientation, claimed money spent to get to them will be refunded, never happened 3 times talked to payroll, fuking liars.
That was my experience with them, bad move, regret sitting with them 3 months, should quit immediately.

They get you 3000 miles per week? Many drivers would love to see that these days.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
Greater Chicagoland strikes again. Were you a company driver, or a L/P? Care to elaborate?
mjd4277 Thanks this. -
You got the whole point across by just mentioning "bad trucking company", "Madison IL", and "Lithuanian."
Lonesome Thanks this. -

I can almost guarantee your driver license has been attacked with lies on CDL Scan. Because that is what these Chicago trucking companies do to burn good drivers who get fed up or don't accept their long scam contracts.
HazMatt777 and Dennixx Thank this. -

Many corrupt thieving companies hide in Illinois because in that State a victim cannot file for additional charges like loss of time-work and so on. By the way keep in mind Google maps shadow blocks many bad reviews. And also companies can pay a service to have bad reviews removed. So many companies are dirtier than what they appear to be. Oh let's not forget all the fake positive reviews they themselves pay a third party or write themselves.HazMatt777 Thanks this. -
