Davis Transfer reviews

Not bad. Newer trucks, mixed trailers.

Only have to work one weekend a month.

Pay avg 650-800 per week, net.

Trucks governed at 63.

you cant get any miles with Davis transfer. they are loosing there customers. they say they drop and hook but you do more live load and live unloads. they tell you one thing and do something else. there trucks are newer but cheap. they have electric apu on them and the batteries only last 6 to 7 hrs. the trucks only idle for two minutes and then they shut off. even if you are sitting at a red light or backing into a dock. there newest trucks doesnt even have cb antennas on them or a place for them. the new trucks has the vorad system on them. this company is going under and will lie to you in a heart beat and not think twice about it. you cant never figure your paycheck for the week. you also work for a temp company the hole time called tlc. i wouldnt recommend this company to anyone. i have worked for them for 10 months and just left them.

Davis is the cheapest company you will ever work for. The get the cheapest trucks available start you out at .32cpm they tell you that you can earn 2 bonus's a month, then proceed to cheat you out of them. The newer trucks have park smart systems in them that run off of batteries that will last 8 hrs if you are lucky. The trucks will only idle for about 3 minutes so depending on the time of year unless the truck is moving you will either be sweating or freezing your ### off. There are only 2 dispatchers there that halfway seem to know what they are doing. One time they had me shuttle 6 trailers from Ellenwood, Ga all the way across Atlanta for this they paid me the grand sum of $50.00. The Davis's are the biggest skin flints you will ever meet. They want you to wash your own truck for free which is why Davis Transfer is known as Dirty Davis to differentiate it from Davis Express. They do alot of Publix stores with multiple drops. For those of you that have never done Publix stores, Publix likes to build stores in places a truck and a 53' trailer has no business going. Then you have to figure out how to get in the parking lot. Don't bother calling the store because they can't or won't tell you. You get to do all this for $15.00 a stop. And don't get a flat tire Davis tries to find some way to blame it on you so you have to pay for that stupid super single tire, and the service call if someone has to come out. Here is a good one for you after 9:00pm on Friday night there is no one in dispatch until 8:00am Saturday, and same thing Saturday night. So if you have a problem you are screwed. How the hell a company with 400 trucks on the road can just close down dispatch is beyond me. And no there is not an emergency on call person. Don't bother to try and call on Saturday during college football season they have nice large flat screen TV's mounted in the dispatch office and can't be bothered with your calls. They will get you home every weekend, but then they start calling you Saturday morning trying to get you to do something because someone in their crack staff has forgotten to cover some loads. I am turning in my notice tomorrow, and can rest assured that it can't get any worse where I am going.

My husband works for Davis going on 6 yrs. they treat him good and he gets anywhere from 1500 miles to 3000 miles in a week. Electronic logs, decent benefits and good people. No job is perfect and there are bound to be flaws anywhere. There are a lot of drivers that don't take good care of the equipment but they have started cracking down on clean tractors. It's the trailers some don't care about and just drop,them without putting a repair order on it. It just takes a minute to do and no reason not to. They need to think about how they would feel if they were picking up the trailers that they drop with repairs needed. Davis has been good to us!
