Former Employee - Dec 31, 2020

The safety god is a crook and he will rob you and write you up for equipment failure as a preventable accident. Their safety record needs more scrutiny by the legal authorities. They will rob you besides. I was promised 52 cents a mile. After driving 27,000 miles my pay was less than $7,000. Do the math for yourself.

Pros

Something that was totally absent.

Cons

Con artists is the name of the game at .Lawrence

If you want to earn money and enjoy your company ,Lawrence is where you want to work. I've been with them as a O/O and company driver. The money is there , all you need to do is work for it. As for as equipment I was driving a new Freighter with automatic transmission. Not bad for company truck.

Pros

Cons

I don't have any problems

They hire 23 year old kids that have never been a truck . I went from 134,000.00 year before to 118,000.00 after being assigned this kid I have caught him lying to me they will not let you change dispatchers. Then the more I think about most of thier dispatchers lie.

Please, all Owner Operator thinking about leasing on with Lawrence Transportation in Roanoke , VA . You might better keep looking for another company. I lease on with this company & my reason for leaven . 1st. Thing is they pay $1.03 on loaded or empty . 

2nd. Thing is fuel surcharge is .17 on loaded miles

3rd. I run 2700 then after fuel i bring home $1500. So i ask they said this was good for an owner operator after fuel. 

4th. They want you to run computer logs. Then they give you 400 to 500 miles loads. Then you burn your time up loading & unloading. So to get 2700 miles in 7 days if you lucky . Good luck if you go to work for this company .
