    Warning! Stay away from this company they are Russian thieves and they are racist towards Blacks. Let me explained what happened. At first, I was promised a new KW Truck but when SMJ hoodwinked me into coming there, they told me they had no KW Truck, and I had no choice than to take a another Truck was all nasty and filthy. I'm a Black truck driver and I run my butt off over 4000 Miles delivered loads on time and I was promised a $2,500.00 check, I never seen a check for an amount of $2,500.00. I talked with other truck drivers who drives for SMJ, they were Caucasian and Mexican Truck Drivers for SMJ, and each truck driver told me they were getting more Miles and got paid the most money, way more than me as a Black truck driver. I know it for a fact those Russians at SMJ are very racist towards Black Truck Drivers. SMJ just needs to stop hiring Black truck Drivers and not paying a Black the same as they pay for a certain Race of Color.

    I swear 75% of that part of the forum is that. Someone doesn't look into who their applying to. Gets screwed over. Creates a account here to do a single post then piece out

    I know someone who worked for smj for 6 years, he never complained about money or down time, instead of calling someone racist you should point out your black work ethics, wanting to drive for 350 miles a day, complaining all the time and abandoning the truck when things don’t go your way

    Yes I said it, want to play the victim game? Go work at usps in Milwaukee WI, and you’ll see how different people get treated, but when you call them out for getting high at work or not doing their job by sending Milwaukee mail to New York you get called a racist. Same thing in trucking, god forbid you call out Kenyan driver for washing feet in Sink or blocking fuel island while shopping or taking shower… same story I seen in loves in Texas, clerk called out 2 African drivers for displacing products in store making a mess, they insulted him from head to toe….
    It’s easy making good company look bad on internet, but a lot harder putting in 70 hours a week busting ###.

    F U on that victim blame game. You're a small-minded bigot just looking for an excuse, frankly. Me? I call all that Urban Stupidity. AKA: city folk. I note that behavior mainly from urban dwellers regardless of culture or so-called race. My son can attest that I always say "There's something in the water in these cities, I swear."

    So, kiss off and just own that you aren't half the gatekeeper you think.

    Stupid, kid
