Quest Global

Been with them for 7 months...same scenario......we felt the same way fresh out of orientation....they say give us 6 months and we did......Love our DM but the size of this company can either be a plus or big minus...they say they have a lot of freight but yet you sit, there are no teams left that we met in orientation.....our days are numbered

 

We did to in the begining.....they are short on drivers so that's good news for you!

 

The swaps to get teams home gets old when you go out of your way to help a team out then have to sit for 8 hrs waiting for them too catch up with you just to find out they weren't going home. Lies no communication fuel cards not working sitting at shippers for hrs then having to get reworked! Loads being pulled for no reason. Talked to some seasoned employees and the only thing in their favor is home time. Good luck I wish you well

 

TWT Refrigerated Service pays teams .60 cpm split. Tripac APU's.
Tribe Transport runs teams and trucks have Tripac APU's.
Old Dominion pays teams more that TWT does, but don't know the exact amount.

 

I talked to a husband part of a hubby/wife team with Quest a while back and they were happy as clams. Had nothing but good things to say about the company and their earnings.

 

I've been in this business a long time, and an odd thing I've learned is ... when the trucks/trailers that you used to see were mostly clean and sharp looking, then in a short period of time, you begin to notice that every single truck you meet has 4+ months of dirt and grime and generally looks filthy, something is wrong at the company. Either they are about to fail (insufficient cash flow and regular washes are the first to go), or they are about to join the CRST's of the world and become another has-been "good company", and assumed the role of another mega carrier hauling "hot freight" for peanuts, and hoping someone (CRST?) will come along and save them from themselves.

Well, pay attention. Do you now see what I've been noticing lately regarding the Quest Global equipment the past several months? (non-winter months) Maybe it's just me but I've got a pretty good track record over the last 30 years watching and forecasting the rise and falls [and merges] of trucking companies. I'll probably catch a lot of flack over this post. Because if you know me, you know I call it as I see it.
