The Shaffer Experience

"all the miles you WONT "

 

He must have hit the enter key before he finished his sentence. Sure he meant to put "get" on the end.

 

Yeah, Shaffer has really turned to crap. They micromanage you to death and operationally they are incompetent. They waste so much time on petty #### when they should looking for freight. Shaffer/Crete is now just like Swift or Werner, except they pay more per mile.

 

sounds like there they same to me. I was there for 6 mos. on 06. in that time I had 3 trucks. all of the cheap ####. In that time they never got me home on time. 4-7 days late every time and then it would take the 3-4 day to get me out after I told them I was ready.

 

shaffer has very little freight in the southeast right now.

 

I've been with shaffer for 3 mos. i wouldnt worry about the west.. most seems to be on the east coast

 

Boy I am reconsidering getting back into this trucking crap. Don't know who to talk to. TruckerJerry seems to have the only good dispatching. i can put up with alot of BS if the pay is there!

 

My guy is thinking about Shaffer, they appear to be a solid company. Do they require hazmat?? Anything anyone could tell me would be awesome. Thanks and be safe!!!

 

I was just wondering what ya'll think about Shaffer. I have been talking with recruiters and filled at an app. He told me there averaging 2300 miles a week there, that's pretty decent. Told me I need a hazmat endorsement. I am not sure what kind of hazmat load would be transported in a reefer. Is it hard to obtain a hazmat endorsement, what do i need to do? Anyways they sound like a pretty decent company, haven't found many bad things about them a few but thats expected. What are some off their big accounts. Any and all info would be grately appreciated.
