Current Employee - Dec 12, 2020

I inquired about a Volvo tractor that was worth around $15,000. They wanted $35,000 on a "Least to Own" plan, plus a $4,000 maintenance account, then about $1,000 per week in payments. All maintenance to be done in their shop. The yard filled with "Lease to Own" tractors when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Thus, they got all those trucks back, with all the new parts, to do it all over again. The drivers walked away with nothing!

Good Company where you can make great money. They offer a very fair lease purchase program. Loan money interest free for repairs to trucks. Have spares when your break down, and hold truck payment The bad reviews below are from drivers who either didnt want to work or didnt understand that as a lease purchase driver you are responsible for the maint. Been here 5+ years and they stay busy year round even through the holidays. After all deductions bring home over $2000 weekly.

Pros

Driver oriented, maintenance loans, good pay

$20/Hour is all you’ll make here...after years, you’ll never receive a cost of living adjustment. Everyone leaves if they can. Presently, lease drivers are abandoning their trucks daily (they’re parked en-mass on the Mount Pleasant yard).

Started off as a great job management decision to add cameras to the trucks was more about watching drivers than other people used to fire many drivers.

Pros

Starts off as a good place to work

Cons

Bad management in dispatch very rude to drivers. Lease trucks don't do it your responsible for all repairs from day one no matter what. You won't make much money as a over the road lease driver fueling will eat your money along with trailer rental and insurance coverage. I was driving 2500 to 3000 a week and bring home 800-900 average after all deductions were made. Stay away from this place.
