So, if you're thinking about signing on with PAM transport... DON'T DO IT! For one.. They will run you like a dog and not pay you for it. When they do pay you, they will find every way they can to make sure you have to take one of their advances to make it through the week. I've had multiple checks that were a total of $0.00. I ran over 2,000 miles one week and was not paid for it. A couple weeks later I had a run of 1,500 miles or so and yet again was not paid for it. I've even had to put my own money in the truck for fuel!!! Only to be reimbursed for it weeks after the fact. And when I was reimbursed, they managed to take almost half of it back in deductions. For the last 10,000 miles I've driven I've made less than $1,000. I could go on and on and on about what a horrible company it is.
Oh and to top it all off today I was asked to violate HOS regulations.
Need less to say. I'm feed up with PAM transport and I've already found another job @ a different company. I'll be putting my notice in tomorrow that I'll be quiting this awful company.
Maybe someone has had better luck with PAM transport but, I highly doubt that. If you're happy running auto parts from Laredo to Detroit and don't mind making less than $300 a week. Then PAM is the company for you. But if you're like 99% of the other people on this site that like to be paid for there work and you have bills to pay. Stay away from PAM.
~Be safe out there~
Cheers

I didn't find it QUITE that bad in 09-10. But it was bad enough that
I sure wish I'd have jumped ship before I got fired!
OTR and me just don't get along.diesel drinker and UpstateFreight Thank this. -
I'm a little lost as to how you made $1,000 for 10,000 miles, that's .10 a mile. Are you living on advances?
-
And what kind of deductions are they taking out
Are you a lease driver or an employee -
I'm guessing the OP is on the fleece purchase plan . When I worked for them I had almost no pay issues and never had a 0.00 check.
Now do not take this as a defense PAM. They degrade their drivers and squeeze every driver's pay check for profit. I think they are a Crappy company, but something doesn't make sense here. -
Put fuel in the truck out of your own pocket? That doesn't make any sense
Blackshack46 Thanks this. -
