    Decker was a very decent starter company for me, hired me right out of CDL school. I did 2 flatbed tours there, 2 years total over a period of 3 years (took some time off for COVID home schooling and winters, etc.). I just posted a review, maybe one day I get around to making a thread about my experience there, as the only couple I see here are quite old and I am not sure how accurate either (well, one of them, anyway).

    Take it with a grain of salt. No non TCA companies will ever make that list.

    Yep, they’re all about the carrier and not the driver…

    The contest is based on driver nominations and driver surveys.

    I do not believe such lists are very useful. I think they represent the above average, large fleet, carriers who pay to be on the list. I know of better companies not on the list, so ...

    The company I work for is on that list and don’t see how they make the list every year.

    They asked me if I wanted Memorial Day off. I said yes, Monday would be a normal work day for me usually. They dispatch me Saturday morning on a trip 450 miles from home to deliver Saturday evening with no return trip and no loads after I unload. I called dispatch they now tell me Monday off would be on the road because it was a normal work day for me. I tell them why would did you ask if I wanted the day off if I was going to sit at truck stop. They said that’s your normal work day and we did not mean day off at the house. I’m a regional drive only work 5 days a week. So it’s not like I’m 1500 miles from house. In the end they had no loads and said I could go back home empty Sunday to have Memorial Day off.

    It’s just the way the treat drivers and change their stories. Did they really think me or any driver wants sit at truck stop 200-300 miles from house on Memorial Day. Crazy dispatchers in my opinion, I don’t see how they make this list every year. They had to deadhead me 450 miles back to the house. They probably didn’t make much money on that trip if any. They got paid for 450 miles and had to pay me, plus the truck expenses to run 900 miles.
