If that's all I had to say then drivers would not have good idea of how they truly operate. You think this is alot. Trust me I took it easy on them on this review. There's still more to be said but take it how u wanna take. These folks need to be put in the ground asap for messing with people's livelihood. I got plenty more to say my guy. I ain't holding my tongue for nothing.

Drivers beware of LMD Logistics Inc based out of Lyons,il. It will save your life!!! So I started with them about 3 weeks ago. They are one of those foreign owned companies. Serbian to be exact. I reached out to them to see what their operation was all about and they have a rental agreement with drivers that you get paid 80% of the load and $700 truck rental payments every week. Along with the truck rent payments you have to pay for your own fuel, tolls, and $250 escrow/security deposit for 10 weeks and also other deductions. So I tried it out and when everything checked out with my background they called me and offered me the job. So they asked me if I could pay for my own flight to Chicago. That was a no go. I told them I couldn't do it and they eventually paid for it. That was the first red flag I looked past very foolishly smh. So they fly me out and everything and put me in a high mileage hunk of junk international truck. The tires on the truck were bad, the radio didn't work, one of the mirrors on hood of the truck was taped and replaced with a #### beauty mirror of some sort lol the cruise control didn't work, the sleeper vents for air/heat didn't work, the eld tablet on the truck didn't work, and the truck did not come with an interver. Now throughout the few weeks I spent with these imbeciles I had to literally call them everyday to fix these issues and the only thing they fixed was the tires which was the most important issue. So as the days past and I start running loads I'm thinking I'm gonna be making good money and running good loads. The highest paying load I had with them was $1800 which isn't nothing with all the deductions for everything. Most of the loads they gave me were $900 and some $1200. Mind you that the whole time I was there they never fixed the cruise control nor did they have an Inverter or apu installed on the truck so I decided to idle for comfortability. So day in and day out I'm calling these people everyday to fix the truck issues and give me better loads. The first week I'm supposed to get paid I literally had to beg the accounting lady to send me my pay statement which she eventually did and when I took a look at it wasn't even close to the money I thought I'd be making. So when payday came on Friday I didn't even see the little money that I had made because she stated it would take 1-3 business days for the money to appear in my bank account. This was another big red flag. Never have I been with a company that I should get paid on payday and I have to wait a couple days for the money to get to my account. So that Friday pasted and the weekend passed and then Monday comes and I still don't see the money so i start to panick lol I'm calling them left and right see what's going on and no one is answering. Then Tuesday and Wednesday comes and I finally get some communication but not from the account lady. The #### maintenance man reached out to me and told me to go to a truckstop to get my money through a efs check. I couldn't belive it. So at this point I'm irate and yes I did get the money but I was wondering why I had to go through all of this to do it when I clearly filled out direct deposit info when I started. So after all of this I had enough of the shadiness and ####ery of these people. They are down right scammers that will avoid to pay you or give you any loads that are worth your time. I brought there truck back to the yard near Chicago where they told me to bring it and I ran as fast as I could and never looked back. I felt entitled to write this review just because I would hate for anyone else to experience this, especially if you live out of state and not in the Chicago/Illinois area. I paid for my own flight back home and never looked back. Please avoid LMD logistics inc. Avoid their ads posted on Craigslist or indeed or any that they post on the internet. They are not what they say they are. They do not have the trucks that they say they have. They will not pay you for the work you've done. They will not solve any issues if you reach out to them. They do not have any morals, no integrity, no respect, no communication, and most important they do not have a legit business. If you do decide to try them out make sure you tread softly and read over everything that they're trying to sale you so you won't be ####ed over. Make sure you have a backup plan and make sure you have money in your pockets before you start with them. Avoid LMD logistics inc by any means necessary.

Just curious what kind of position are you in that you have to take these kind of jobs.Wouldn’t Schneider or any of the major carriers be a safer option then a company you obviously knew nothing about.

Well when you go to Schneider you know exactly what kind of BS you’re going to deal with.

I knew nothing about them because they had no actual reviews or bad reputation until I decided to make this post and spread awareness. Now you and everyone else will know about them. See how that works.

404welcome · Mar 17, 2023

Lmao! You should of wrote this in bold! Exactly my thoughts

If there was someway to get this site out there for all truckers, that would be heavenly. I'm of the opinion that if the entire industry knew about The Trucker's Report, at the very least, some of these companies would go under because they would be informed prior to making those decisions. You won't completely get rid of these companies because they do have a place in the industry. Those companies can at least give drivers a chance to rehabilitate their careers and earn a check at the same time. Also, you'll always have drivers that ignore warning signs, reviews, and advice because the high cpm looks good.

How was the paperwork for the truck and trailer? All up to date info? Reg, insurance IFTA, permits for states? Annual inspection?

Pass by any scales during your short tenure?

You thought they were going to be different? Not this time right? Maybe you'd be able to squeeze a couple of checks out before they went haywire scamazoid on you?
Tape this to your phone. "I WILL HANG UP ON ALL CHICAGO COMPANIES NO MATTER WHAT"

As truckers we truly never know what we're getting into regardless of what these recruiters or ads tell us because of course they tend to lie for they're own personal gain. We just go off of what they tell us. We hope and pray for the best outcome but sometimes it never works in our favor and we end up gettin screwed over. That's just the way it is in the industry. Doesn't matter how large or small the company is or what "Position" the driver is in.
