Great company to work for. Upfront and honest and willing to do what they can for their drivers. I have read a few reviews stating it was a waste but honestly can say that if you are willing to listen to what they are telling you and do your job you can go far with this company.

Pros

Laid back and caring for there drivers

Cons

Can't honestly say anything bad about company

This place is an absolute waste of time to anyone that values their PSP scores or that plan on making a living wage. I have only completed orientation however i have been lied to at least 3 times since first contact. Upon first contact with the recruiter, i was promised a new truck with Bluetooth, $0.46/mile running regional, home weekly, and with an average paycheck of $1000-$1200 weekly take home. Upon completion of orientation, i was given a used Volvo with upwards of 300,000 miles, smells like a wet dog inside, and 0.38/mile for the first 60 days (which is one of the lowest in the industry) and 0.43 afterwards. The trucks are pieced together the best they can, but wouldn’t pass a DOT inspection. The recapped drives are old and ready to peel any day, there are gouges takes out of the tires yet they refuse to fix them. During the orientation, we were taken out for our road test in a truck that should have been shut down. The truck was all over the place, steering system was about shot, dragging to the right then left and back to the right. Trailer was dog legging to the right, brakes were grabbing hard, and transmission had an air leak. When you figure out your gross pay, 2200 miles *.38 doesn’t equal $1000-$1200 takehome The hotel they use is probably the worst in the city, one driver woke up with roaches in his bed, another had roaches coming out of the hand rail in the shower, i had a combination. I had ants plus roaches in my shower. The housekeepers do not respect the DO NOT DISTURB sign, they just walk in and do what they please.

Pros

People are real nice

Cons

Anyone have info on Alabama Motor Express?

My friend has had WAY TOO MANY ISSUES for me to suggest anyone drive for AMX. He left due to no loads. They sent him way out west and couldn't get him a load home. No dice. So when he left, the just deleted him from the system. No record of him working there AT ALL (DAC fraud). Try elsewhere.

Q: My Dad is considering making a switch to Alabama Motor Express, so just wondering if anyone out there had info good/bad on this company, or experiences to share. Thanks so much


A: I know this is an old thread, but AMX (Alabama Motor Express) was ok when I worked for them (returned to college and left them). They ran a lot of Florida, and also up into the midwest. Don't think I ever did much east-coast with them. The equipment was ok, and I did get an almost new Volvo after 2 months with them. It ran 70 mph but don't know about now. It is a family owned company, they had a separte driving lounge building with sofa and TV, showers and free coffee. Pretty easy to work there at the time. Overall, I would say one of the better small companies I have worked for. Was home every weekend also. Hope this helps for anyone considering them. Located near Dothan Ala.
