After orientation, I had to sit around for over a week, waiting for the owner to fix my truck just to make it able to drive. The truck was a real piece of spit. It had battery issues, transmission issues, and an air leak. The rear end was also wrecked. Shouldn't even be in service. On Monday, I called dispatch and told them to put me in service. I waited over 24 hours, and no calls. The next day I found out that they 'forgot' to put me in service until Tuesday. I got about a dozen load offers between Tuesday and Wednesday, but none of them went through. The dispatchers must be terrible at securing loads. On Wednesday, the owner calls me up telling me he's got a load for me going a whole 200 miles. I said no, I need to make some real money. Not trying to leave a so-called 'good area' for freight into a bad one for a measly 200 miles. He basically told me that I have to take it. I said I thought there was no forced dispatch? The owner of the truck also does the orientations (twice per week), and was adamant during orientation about v3 being 100% NO FORCED LOADS. So, I said no. I'd rather wait for a good load. Then he pulled me out of the truck and tells me that he will make sure that no other owner at v3 will give me a truck. I called up to the v3 office and spoke with a few different people, and they all acted like they couldn't care less. Extremely unprofessional. Extreme liars. Extremely bad treatment of their drivers. That's why the place is a revolving door, and has to do orientation twice per week. So, if you enjoy sitting around in a piece of spit truck for days at a time not making any money, and being forced to take short little loads that will make you about $100, I guess this is the place for you. Otherwise, I suggest you move on somewhere else. v3 is the worst.
Cons
Unprofessional, they lie, can't secure loads

Horrible experience. Dispatch can not secure loads. There was a day weI were offered 7 loads and they couldn't secure 1 of them. Out of the 7 loads we refused 1 load and they reported us to the owner as if we had not said Yes to the 1st 5 they couldn't secure. They say no forced dispatch, but if you refuse a load even with good reason, they leave you sitting for days. Out of a 7 day work week, you will get 2, maybe 3 loads tops. You spend more time sitting than you do driving. Communication is the worst I've ever dealt with from ANY company. Dispatch will lie and say you turned down loads when they haven't even spoken to you. They will tell you it's slow, but you will be parked with Panther, Tristate, Load One etc. They will get loads and V3 will still not have a load secured until maybe 2 days after their competitors have received a load. All you have to do is talk to drivers from the other companies, they will.show you their invoices which prove its not slow, V3 simply can't secure loads. If you do not ask for an empty move, they don't offer it you'll simply sit. They do not pay 60/40 as they state unless my calculator lies. They will take your money. Drove with them for 90 days and requested home time 3 times, that was a problem for them. We ALWAYS sat Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday leaving only 3 days a week to make money. You will lose EVERYTHING working for them. You will barely make $1000 a month. Drivers talk to one another so do your research. You will learn this company is not about their drivers but about self. If your looking to run and make money, V3 isn't for you...
Cons
You will not be able to maintain your current lifestyle. As soon as my contract was up, I ran and they will NOT pay you your last check if you resign.

DON'T Consider working at V3. They take money out of the pay called profit sharing. They never paid my husband and me for 4500 miles which was 3 runs. We told we were taking wrappers but the sealed load was medical Cannabis from SLC UT to Chambersburg PA which v3 don't have the prements for Cannabis. Don't ruin your CDL over this company. The dispatch are rude. Just an Awful Company.
Pros
The shop guy is very nice.
Cons
They won't pay the settlements which they owe the driver and co driver. Nickel and dime the driver out or pay.
Illegal types of loads like Weed / Pot CANABIS

Horrible Company, NOTHING BUT LIES, Very little money, a lot of wait time in a cold truck. No one cares when you are out on the road. Company suppose to pay everyone to go home for Christmas but you have to wait until 5pm with no load for them to decide if they want to pay you or not so you can go home
