Mesilla Valley Transportation (MVT) reviews

Started off fine, 1 of 5 team drivers for fleet 220, consistent runs from El Paso to Oregon. Pay was horrible, hardly made over 1100 running as a team. Fuel/speed incentive was a joke, couldn’t make over 8.5mpg on the route they had us running, heavy loads, mountain terrain, had to go over a certain Mpg to get a higher speed allowance, never happened, probably went through 20 trucks being employed for 9 months, actually had to move out of 2 trucks in 1 day because of truck issues, and they don’t pay for down time when their maintenance team doesn’t fix KNOWN issues on a truck. One dispatcher was willing to leave a driver stranded in Idaho after he had surgery and tried forcing us to take his truck before he was able to get transportation back home in El Paso, had to spend 3 days waiting for the company to find a way to get him home. An OPs manager loved to belittle drivers over the phone “just shut up and do your D*** job” (her words), but will be the nicest person to your face. Co driver always had issues with the truck maintenance team, always took longer when he had to take the truck in for a issue. Only ever friendly to women and non-Caucasian’s. One month straight during the winter we got stuck on i-80 in Wyoming, consistent light loads, missed hometime 3 times in a row, including a family medical emergency. Longer we stayed the worse dispatch got, spent 4 days in Oregon dead heading to places just to find out they turned away 3 other drivers for the same load that didn’t belong to the company, changed pickup and delivery times without telling us then blamed us for not knowing. Threatened truck abandonment fees for leaving a truck at a terminal unless we delivered one last load (we were the only team in the area) Consistent battle to get paid the miles had us run (they send the approved route). Always had to track the miles we ran vs what they tried to get away with paying, pay very close attention to your settlement each week. Last dispatcher really did try, but his efforts were always cancelled out by the planners mistakes Shout out to the cafeteria people, Brisket burrito at the terminal was bomb

Friendly people, good equipment, and a good working environment. The company provides plenty of opportunity to drivers to grow and earn.

Trucks are junky. I went through 4 trucks the first 2months there. My 1st truck broke down on 1st load out gate didn't make del had to get a rental.

Worst company ever. Rude dispatchers, Owner has no idea what’s going on, I say save yourself the trouble and don’t get involved with Mesilla valley.

Communication was touted priority but platform science was Constantly broken or being upgraded. Created excessive work load on dms Common message w as dont call in we are swamped use platform. How ?? Its broke Couldn't be used unless dead stop GPS and work flow seldom full operational In 12 weeks barely made 7000 Home time was a joke once kept me out ten days past scheduled home time throwing handicapped wife into panic attacks Another driver missed numerous doctor visits and family events with his autistic kids No heart no soul honesty or integrity
