Hogan Transport

Nice post Ben, keep up the good recruiting work.However if you don't pay me from day one (monday) your just another sorryarse company that EXPECTS drivers to donate their time,,,Well you can just kiss my bigdogpile smelling arse !!! Even if I do NO work my time shall be compensated..!!!You do understand that don't you Marc,,er Ben ???

 

I worked for those clowns for two years. I got on a dedicated route. Had to load and unload the truck. Only had a certain a mount of time to load had to run flat out in all kinds of weather. Had a schedule that didn't leave any wiggle room. When I confronted them about it, they just said "That's the way it is." A couple weeks later I was told that my license was suspended. I had gotten a fix it ticket with my own car and had gotten it taken care of. I went to the courthouse and got another reciept, went to the highway patrol, they said I was good to go. I even went to the scales and had them check. They said there was no problem. When hogan was asked about all that they said the database they were looking at said suspended but wouldn't tell me what that database was. I work for another company now, home weekends, don't sit and make .38 a mile.

 

The last time I made 29 cents a mile was 1987 I think. Anyway it's been a wile. Get your experience and move on from these people who are willing to steal your youth for low wages.

 

Starting at .29 is #### good in todays world.I started at .21 in 1990.

 

I was making .26 or .28 in '95 when I started driving and that was barely enough back then. What it costs to live now, there's no way .29 is "#### good".

 

Hahaha!!! They must be HUGE liars since they feel it necessary to advertise that they don't. It's the same old story with any bottom feeder. Advertise the exact opposite of what the truth is. What a joke. Dollar General accounts are low paying fingerprint loads that mostly rookies do, cause if you hustle you can do ok, but you will be one tired sob.. Hogan, swift, sni, Werner, USX, averrit, etc.... ..all bottom feeders that do DG store deliveries..

 

I am just leaving the Hogan nightmare, they lie at each account, and they do not care about the drivers, its all about the bottom line. Worse company I have worked for in 35 years of driving.

 

Hate to pop your dream, I work for them and I am leaving after the stuff I seen happen in the Indy account at Caito Foods. They put a good show on, but, thats it. They go through recruiter's like water. They pull drivers off our account to do General Dollar because the drivers hate it, and they go through many many drivers. Hogan has 62 accounts of all types, its the worse company I have worked for in 35 years. Good luck, start looking for a new job.

 

I worked for hogan for about two years.The first 8 months went by great and then BAM!!. I got good loads out of Texas going to the northeast but always had to drop em in Bridgeton. IMO they might be a good company for a newbie but for an experienced driver you can do much better. Not a bad outfit but the way they load plan just wasn't for me.

 

I was working at USX when they got the extra DG work from Werner. They came up with some black frtshkrs to match the yellow trls better then the red USX trucks. They made it sound like it was the best dedicated opportunity of all time. My dp'r sent me to Zanesville Oh to pu a 3 stopper to Erie PA and NY when I was in the area one day. It was supposed to be a dedicated account but they where losing drivers to injury or refusal faster then they could be replaced. You pu in afternoon took break at first store unload and drove all the next day, DH back to Zannesville late afternoon evening to do it all over again the next day. Fully loaded trls top to bottom 40k plus loads mptyd by the driver. I said no thanks the next time they tried to dp me there

The dedicated drivers where making around 900 bucks a week including the 300 bucks to unload 5 heavy hand stacked trls a week. So for about 700 after taxes a week you had the privilege of wrecking your back and hands slinging frt down a ramp as fast as you could to make the round trips and still get a break enough to feel the pain

After about 6mo's they gave up on trying to find drivers within the ranks to do it full time and where hiring guys off the street who where clueless to the injury risks and the amount of work they would have to do to get what amounted to around $15 a hour before taxes. Heck you can make that schlepping frt local and be home nightly.
