Equip decent , maintenance on equip is special ed people that know how to change oil ..home time is great cause they have no work u set home quite a bit.. too ay sucks they CANNOT pay you on time and correct.. it’s just not possible with this company ..it’s like this you can deliver your loads safely , on time without incident, turn paper work on time .. then some corporate flunky fresh out high school messes up and your up the creek your pay screwed till maybe next pay day .. it’s a on going never ending deal with these people .. I do not understand it ?

Pros

Could be good company but the pay issues erase all the good ., very disheartening to work two weeks dreaming of nice check and they drop the ball everytime ..

Cons

Can’t pay drivers correctly .. very very frustrating ..

Equip use to be good sux nowadays . The equip will absolutely drive you crazy in city traffic with all the warning sounds .. ok on highway dangerous in city . Soon to have Driver facing cameras . Biggest problem they can my get your pay correct and in time .. you have a load if you counting on your pay being right not happening here.. oh here’s the kicker if you pay is messed up they not gonna make it right till next payday. 2 weeks away . “ Oh we can put that in your card” try that see how well that works for you ..

Pros

Use to be a good company

Cons

Been in business for 80 plus years but still cannot get you paid correctly and on time ..

It was a nice in the beginning but this company has a lot of issue specially on the Patriot side,Groendyke bought Patriot anther company and they are the poor stepbrother of this company they get the hand me downs of Groendyke.....They make u jump threw hoops there is no communications I tried to be professional but even the trainers when they believe that there hording in on your job that was selected by the terminal manager they will stab you in the back.it is a cut throat company at the Tulsa location and if you dont want to a bad record or even being there avoid this place like the plague, the only positive comment is from a recruiter trying to get drivers to driver for free then they will not pay you its a sad company Im sorry I even went there,hope you dont make the same mistake.they will weed you out in 9 days and get frre drivers from you without paying you..

Pros

NICE IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE THEY STAB YOU IN THE BACK

Cons

WHERE DO I BEGIN ITS A WASTE OF TIME THEY WILL LOOK BAD ON YOUR RESUME

Groendyke colorado springs (fountain)

Thought I would update this post .. 
I started with Groendyke on Tuesday it's a local job not regional the recruiter didn't have a clue about the Fountain colorado terminal. 
I'm currently driving a decent kenworth day cab with a 13 speed , they also have a few internationals with super 10s.
About 20 drivers total everyone seems pretty laid back . The terminal manager has been great so far . And my trainer has over 30 years hauling fuel .
We pick up from several different racks in the colorado springs area and deliver to fuel stations . Very fast paced and lots of brain work I enjoy both!
Pay is percentage not mileage basically each load has a set pay unless they add a drop or send you to Denver for the pickup .
Blue cross blue shield insurance not sure exactly what the cost is yet but it looked to be reasonable. 
Overall I'm happy with the switch. Being home everyday is going to take a little time to get used to after spending almost 4 years otr . But I am loving all my free time !!!!

 

Just an update been running solo for a couple weeks now everything is going smoothly , starting to learn where most of the local stations are just by hearing their number wich helps not having to take the time to get the map book out to see where they are , currently I'm averaging 4 loads in roughly 9 hours wich is just shy of 200 bucks a night sometimes a little more depending on the loads I run , so roughly 20 to 22 bucks an hour and home every night , and I'm at the very bottom of their pay scale at 22% or 16 an hour for sitting , first full check was a gross of 2100 for 2 weeks

 

I am at the colorado springs terminal hauling fuel locally and so far I love the job , and my terminal is pretty laid back . I can't speak for other terminals but I like the terminal manager here, real nice lady and the 2 dispatchers will bend over backwards to help you out

 

Slowed down a little here the last week or so , the senior drivers say it's just because school started back up , 

We are finally getting some of the new freightliner day cabs that they ordered , I haven't actually been in one yet but I hear they have all the bells and whistles including cameras , not sure if there is a driver facing cam or not I've heard it both ways but when I find out for sure I will let everyone know.

Overall I'm still happy here .
