Thanks for giving us your feedback. To address your points, there are multiple ways to grow your career in our Brokerage division, and you may have heard our managers talk about how they reached their level. Many of our entry-level salespeople have been promoted into management positions because of their motivation and drive to learn and grow. Growth is an area that is heavily supported in Brokerage! There is a process that every new salesperson goes through to build their book of business, which leads to future success. We know that it takes time to build, so there are systems in place to help new people earn more during that early period. Because our managers work in the same area with their employees - everyone has open access to management and well as monthly meetings to get everyone’s feedback and input. We have also gotten really good feedback from employees about our benefits. Thank you again for your input, and all the best to you.

Pros

John S. Was a great dispatcher. Everyone there worked hard to keep me from leaving.

Cons

When I quit they screwed me. I live in West Texas. Took an extra week of running loads so I could turn the truck in at the yard. Last load delivered within 2 miles of the yard. Turned the truck in in good shape. They owed me about $400 for the week. Had over $2000 in security escrow. Had over $3000 in maintenance escrow. And another $200 in accelerated escrow. They kept every bit of it. Have not seen a dime since I left.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. The number one goal of our lease purchase program is ownership. We promote and stand by our culture of supporting our drivers in their goal to own their tractors, therefore it is not a walk away lease. If there are issues where a driver is unable to complete the program, we communicate and work together to return the tractor, and escrow is applied to any unpaid balances. I’m glad to know that your dispatcher and support team were advocates for you to complete the program. We truly want to see our drivers succeed in their career goals! We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

None. Don't bother filling out an application.

Cons

Management is unprofessional. Management is lazy and does nothing to help employees better themselves.

"Lazy" hasn't built our company so please allow me to "work" to correct all the issues you've experienced. My name is Dan Evans and I welcome your feedback. Thank you!
