My husband's experience has been mostly good with this company. They now have elogs, which helps with problems he has had in the past. He left for another company and is now going back because he was always treated well at Sweet Express. Hope this helps!

I get your point, but it is being exaggerated quite a bit. There isn't anyone running 6k a week solo. That's 857 miles per day for 7 days.

Hey you wanna know ask edin. I have been here only a month and during orientation I grilled every driver I could get my hands on it when I say I grill them I asked him every question I could possibly through go through my mindI asked about the good the bad the ugly and the downright terrible I want to know about everything money truck everything you name it if it was thought about for a company Oh I asked.I had a problem with my truck I've took it in and you know what they jump right on it they had no problems fixing anything they didn't ask me any questions they took my word on it they feel like I'm the one driving the vehicle I know my truck and I should it's my home it's my ride my livelihood this is what I make money on so they did not hesitate whatsoever come to find out my front end was messed up worse than when I actually thought we had took it up to a alignment shop and got it fixed had it back the next day and put brand new tires on it too they don't mind working on it they have somebody working on stuff everyday they take really good care of their equipment or at least they try to if you have a problem with something go to them they will fix it they have no problems fixing anything as you already know there is going to be a disgruntled employee from time to time sometimes those are good to talk to but not always it doesn't matter what company you go with your always going to have a disgruntled employee but man if you're doing wrong you're doing wrong be real about it don't sit there and down a company just because you felt like they did you wrong when the whole time you were doing something wrong yourselfthe best way I can tell you to ever researching trucking company ask somebody that works there this is currently working with them at the time that you're trying to find out you want to ask I got my number on my profile if you can't read my profile its some 25280 92678 I will tell you all the ugly that I've heard since I've been with these people and I'll tell you all the good I'll tell you what I've seen what I've experienced and what I've heard I don't hold back Jack crapbut if nothing else call them and ask they have done everything that they told me they were going to do when I called for the set it up to come check it out they held true to exactly to their word

on average I make some where .between 2500 miles to right close to about 4000 miles let's be real it's not necessarily the loads this fair because they'll push you out loads just fast as you want to take them it all depends on the driver and the drivers willing to take them you'll get them and you'll make those miles my first week I got somewhere around 1800 miles. That was 3 days

Very hard to follow all the thoughts on that post rabbit, sounds like a decent find for you though!!! I see their ads every few weeks here in Fl., tempted to call...

As one of the companies I stumbled upon to research for a new job... This whole thread is a red flag.
A company representative comes on, answers some unimportant questions and never post again in years. Then add to that the 3 or 4 one-hit-wonders that post "great" reviews about the company... strangely all in the same writing style. Can you say company shill?
I know I'm posting on an ancient thread, but I just wanted to point out that this does not seem like a good company at all. -
They are a Bosnian run company out of Michigan. They just bought out Speed Express,and never gave us any notice. Although I haven't been able to find out the details, I do know Speed Trucking was being sued in court, and the owner is good friends with Sweets owner. They Run T680 Kws and Peterbuilts. They have one terminal, which does not have a Shower, but has a full Bar for management. The terminal opens at 8am and is closed to drivers at 5pm.If you you are sitting here there are two Portapotties outside. No Ipass or Ez pass, you must take company advance to pay for their tolls. We use Peoples Net Elogs for company drivers, and paper for Owner Ops, that might be changing to. Average Miles, Owner ops do well. I started at 36cents but I only have 4months expirence.We are Mainly a Northeast company,you will get a load out west once in a while,but plan on coming back to Michigan on your next one,or Pa. The people here are friendly.
